Latvia · WALKING TOURS
Riga is compact, flat and built for feet, so a walking tour here covers real ground rather than one square. These 13 cover the Old Town, the art nouveau district and the wooden suburb, priced by length, with the free-to-join and audio-guided versions marked.

“We signed up for a private tour, but they had planned to add another couple and did not inform us until day before. They did ask our permission and dropped the €70 fuel fee. We agreed because we were helping out another couple. When they admitted this was know for a while I feel taken advantage of. If I had know it would not be private I would not have agreed to a charge of over €300.”

“Not very good at all. A little information about history and disbanding the military, but overall did not provide a lot of cultural information. Tour walked around a couple of parks and an old brewery. Guide was boring.”
Review of Riga’s private walking tour, covering Old Town, Art Nouveau streets, and Central Market with a flexible English-speaking guide.
“This was a case of the guide turning a run-of-the mill tour into something more. Valentina's knowledge (and love) of the city made this tour great. It was a great introduction to the city and the country for our first full day in Riga. We paired it with the Art Nouveau tour and were lucky enough to have Valentina for both. She gave us two hours on hour own for lunch then met us again for the second tour. It was a great day in Riga topped off with an evening at the Christmas Market.”

I responded with the proof of payment, to which no response. The date of the tour passed and obviously I did not want to pay twice, so we did not get to go on the tour.. Afterwards I requested for a refund of the money, as I had not gotten any tour, but now I am simply…”
