“Edvards is so extremely passionate about this topic! His knowledge is immense, yet he conveys it in a way that is easy to understand and follow along. I really enjoyed this tour and it’s the perfect way to actually understand the history of the city you’re visiting, rather than just check out some coffee shops and move on to the next city. Thank you Edvards!”

It is so excited that the guide in the bunker shows the stories in the soviet times. It helps me know more about the country and the life they had had. I hope to go to Sigulda again.”
