Fantastic Trip - The whole day was highly enjoyable. Krista the host was fantastic. She really put us at ease. Kuldiga itself is a beautiful town and worth the two hour plus journey to get there. It's beautiful and the tour of the town on a train helps show you the sights and the small alleys you wouldn't otherwise see. The architecture is amazing. The Venta waterfall is stunning and the observation tower gives you a fantastic view. Walking in the waterfall is a great experience. We didn't walk the entire length as it was slippery, but you could do so if you wanted. Very different to Riga itself, worth visiting if you're after such a change.

Kulidiga has a lot of... - Kulidiga has a lot of untouched medieval buildings, giving me a more realistic feel of this ancient time. The guide is also very knowledgeable which gives the whole trip more meanings.
