Guide #26761
The best excursions to discover any tourism destination are excursions organized by local guides. I am one of them in Latvia (licensed and happy) - Armands Latvia Guide. I am not calling guiding - my job, this is my Life. The way I am doing this usually are not only informative, but also helping to discover sense of place. I am calling my excursions - LIFESTYLE EXCURSIONS. Excursions should not be boring. Try it! I have educational background in Biology (thanks to Gerald Durell and Nicolay Drozdov) and in Tourism (thanks to Tur Heyerdahl and Yury Senkevich). Latvia is beautiful with rich history, beautiful nature, safe, tasty and friendly with a nice people. The tourists are different with different interests, so I am flexible to fined the best way to suite guests interests. The educational background - several guide courses and academic degree in Biology (MSc) and Tourism Management (MBA) and near 30 years in Tourism industry helps me to keep my level interesting and professional.

We have been on many tours through Tours By Locals and Armands is one of the best guides we have ever met. He is personable, knowledgeable and well organized. He is very fluent in English. He obviously has a passion for the history of Latvia. We went on three of his tours and each one exceeded our expectations. We can highly recommend Armands as a guide in Riga!

Our family had a wonderful time hunting mushrooms in the peaceful forest with Armands. It was the highlight of our visit to Latvia. And we were eating delicious mushroom dishes for days afterwards.
