A simple amd good your of the old canal bi water. Not the most thorough but still well worth the price.
Relaxing and a great way to see the city. Gave a great overview and layout if the coty so would be a good first day introduction.
The only downside to this canal boat is that it is further down the canal to their dock, but otherwise the trip was wonderful. The boat is comfortable and shaded, it left timely and it takes you much further than I imagined. It seemed like it was going slowly, but it methodically made it past every point of interest on the water and back to the point of origin. It was a bargain.
I loved being on the water and seeing the city from a different angle. It was a small group which was nice.
Excellent easily accessible Riga from another point of view The part on the great river of Riga is beautiful
Loved the relaxed approach to the tour down the picturesque canal and river, with a different take to familiar sights to the walking tour, while also complimenting it with new sights.
Nice chilled out canal and river ride with audio information on the sites. Lovely views of the city from the river.
Great commentary. Clean and comfortable. Left on time. Arrived on time. Half on canal. Half on river.
Experience very nice Tara welling with family .. two who have difficulties walking. Was very helpful in helping to accommodate our needs. The scenery was beautiful and the boat very comfortable
Unfortunately, the trip was not conducted with one of the beautiful wooden boats we were looking forward to. Two people who had not booked in advance joined us. That was it. So disappointing!
