Well worth your time! - Diana was very knowledgeable and it shows that she loves her city. Along with the info and history provided she also pointed out r recommendations for after the tour. She even made a phone call at the end of the tour that facilitated me getting into an exhibit/tour that I didn’t think I could. Great job!!

City tour - Excellent knowledge by our guide, Gita, given with a good deal of humour. She kept the pace going without feeling rushed for what was a large group.

Good fun tour - She was friendly and took us around Riga old town. It was fun and helped us understand the city and culture. Riga and Latvia is a new country and has a fragmented story - the framing wa somewhat chauvinistic. There was also no mention of the many Latvian Jews thar fled during the Russian Pogroms.

Excellent - Excellent start to the day. The host was brilliant and very informative. Sorry, can't remember her name but I think it began with G. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend if, like me, it's your first time in Riga.

Old Town on foot - This was a completely successful city tour. The guide informed us in perfect German and told one or the other anecdote.

Disappointed - Not sure if this is the right company - was ‘sold’ this by the hop on/hop off bus tour agent in the square by the town hall - took €20 deposit to reserve our spot on the walking tour, leaving in half an hour. We then had to pay the guide €30 for the walking tour, which took all of 50 minutes! We were told the tour would be 2 hours! Ripped off & disheartened that they do this to tourists! There were 3 people on our ‘tour’ - thats €75!

Meh.... - Pretty bland tour, nothing special. we had wandered around and seen most of the stops already. Tour guide was too soft spoken and she did not seem well informed.
