I'm Philip B., your private tour guide in Riga

Guide #47570

Welcome to Riga! I grew up in Australia in a Latvian family, and when I came to Riga 25 years ago I fell in love with the place and never left! It's a place of stunning beauty (whatever the season - there are parks galore), fascinating history (did you know the guy who invented blue jeans came from Riga?), intriguing food (try the garlic rye bread or the hemp butter), sensational beer (I'll point you towards the best brewpubs) - and it is a joy for me to share it with visitors from around the world. In my 25 years here, I've worked as a journalist, a translator and for the last six years a tour guide. So telling stories is my thing, and there are lots of amazing ones in Latvia! Let me introduce you to the romantic, medieval cobblestone streets of the Old Town, the magnificent Art Nouveau buildings on the boulevards, delightful old wooden houses, freaky Soviet structures and much, much more! Please check out my tours, and if you like I can customize one to suit you perfectly. And please let me know if I can help in any other way. Looking forward to seeing you, Philip.

    We had a wonderful day with Philip! My mom has a wheelchair and Philip was amazing in personalizing our tour to accommodate her. We saw so much of Riga and the surrounding area and had a wonderful lunch! Thank you for a fantastic day!

    Philip was a great guide on this tour. He was knowledgeable but not in a boring way. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and had a lot of fun.

    We loved discovering Riga with Philip. He knows his city well and clearly enjoys sharing its historical and political development, its monuments, and its architectural delights with visitors. Philip is highly personable, a thinking person and with a good sense of humour to boot— canˋt say enough! Thank you Philip.
