Guide #35644
Hello from Riga, Latvia, Baltic states! Since early 2000 as a licensed guide, I am specializing in customized private tours as a guide and driver in my beloved Riga, Latvia, Baltic States, and Eastern Europe. It could be your first look at my city or a specialized tour like Jewish heritage, military history, food and beverages or architecture, and culture. As so many people have migrated away in course of our history, many are looking back for their Baltic ancestors. Here I can help as a historian to search in archives their family trees. About myself - I was born in a loving family in Riga, Latvia. Some moment I fell in love with gardening and graduated as a landscape designer, later teacher of history, psychology and handicrafts, later conference interpreter and translator. Well, probably a student's life attracted me. But all the time, traveling remained my passion. After crossing the World with groups of travelers I suddenly realized how great is my own country and region and that I have a lot to do to present and share. Now besides guiding I am a happy owner of a small berry farm and a former train station in Latvian countryside that is now partly renovated and turned into a little museum and recreation place. All my tours can be customized and modified upon your request! Official license for guiding in Riga in EN, RU. Master degree in history, pedagogic, linguistics. Licenses to guide in most of museums. Official guide for European Presidency in Latvia tours in Riga in 2015 Driver licence since 1996. Being a fully licenced guide I have no restrictions.

We had two splendid days with Pēteris in and around Riga. He’s super knowledgeable, easy going and entertaining. Also he’s very flexible and happy to accommodate for specific needs. Would definitely recommend!
Peteris knows all. The more you inquire, the more he will offer. He knows many people all over town, even the organist at the noon concert at Riga Cathedral- which you should do. I requested a custom tour of architecture history and between walks and his car, it was a comprehensive day. Reserve early- he is in demand.
Peteris was an amazing guide! Our group of 10 has been talking about this tour ever since we experienced it. Peteris had excellent knowledge and information about the sites that we were able to see, but not only that, it was very interesting to hear about his own experiences, living in Latvia during the Cold War and how it impacted his own life. We brought my father on...
