Fun, passionate, and genuine - that’s me, your local guide Emīls! I’m originally from a small Latvian town and have lived in Riga since 2014. I love storytelling, showing my favorite hidden spots in Riga and across Latvia, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. If you’re looking for a joyful and authentic experience, I’d be happy to be your guide. My hope is that you’ll leave not only with photos, but with a little piece of Latvia in your heart.

    This excursion was a highlight of our time in the Baltics. It was great to spend the day outside of the city, particularly given Emils unique knowledge of the area. Rundale Palace was even more impressive than I expected, with fantastic history and architecture. Emils also shared a lot of helpful information on Riga, that we were able to put to use when we were back in...

But what made it way more memorable is the tour...

    We booked two full-day tours with Emils, and this was the first one. We had the opportunity to visit the palace in Rundāle in the morning. We had dinner at a nice restaurant in Bauska, and left for the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. On our way back, we had a quick stop at the Jelgava Palace. Everything in this tour was great. But what made it more memorable is our tour...

    We spent an excellent day visiting Sigulda and Turaida with Emils. We also visited a soviet bunker and a winery. Emils was very knowledgeable about the varied history of Latvia and he communicated it in an engaging and interesting way. We enjoyed his company and his insights into Latvian life, and we left feeling we’d had a great day. Emils’ knowledge of the English ...
