Hey there, fellow adventurers! I’m Zane - your friendly, curious, and slightly quirky tour guide with a deep love for all things Latvian. I’ll be your companion on this journey through cobbled streets, lush forests, and the many stories that make Latvia so magical. Let me tell you a little about myself (just in case you're wondering who's leading the way). I’m someone who finds joy in the simple things - dancing when the mood strikes, getting lost in a good book, playing a bit of sport, and hopping around the globe with an open heart and a suitcase full of stories. I’ve wandered through Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa, collecting unforgettable memories, a few awkward tan lines, and an even deeper appreciation for home. After about ten years of chasing sunsets across time zones, I did the most surprising thing - I came back. Why? Because Latvia isn't just where I'm from; it’s where my heart belongs. There's something special about this place, like a warm cup of tea on a frosty day. Let’s talk Latvia. It's my favorite country - not just because it’s mine, but because it’s a masterpiece of quiet beauty. Think ancient forests that whisper tales, lakes that sparkle under the sky, and landscapes that could easily be pages out of a fairy tale. And then there's Riga -our vibrant, soulful capital. It’s not just a city; it’s a mood. The old town feels like a timeless love letter, the architecture is full of character, and the traditions? They're like family heirlooms - precious, quirky, and full of stories. But here's the deal - I like to keep it real. Whether we’re diving into Latvia’s layered history, navigating today’s quirks, or laughing through life’s little surprises, I promise to give you the honest, heartfelt version. No fluff, just genuine moments (and maybe a few dad jokes). So thank you for letting me be part of your journey. I’m Zane - your down-to-earth, globe-trotting guide. Let’s explore, laugh, and make some unforgettable memories together.

🇱🇻 Discover Old Riga: A Walking Tour Through Time Start at the majestic Freedom Monument, then stroll through cobbled streets packed with history, legends, and charming chaos. See the stunning House of the Blackheads, hear tales at St. Peter’s Church, and meet the sassiest cats in Riga (on a rooftop, not in a café). Walk Jauniela Street, once home to Sherlock Holmes (well, Soviet TV Sherlock), rub noses with the Bremen Town Musicians, and sip the legendary Riga Black Balsam—if you dare. From medieval guilds to modern-day magic, this tour blends fun facts, hidden gems, and plenty of photo ops. Riga’s past comes to life with humor, heart, and a rooster or two. Lace up and join me!

Zane was great with wonderful stories and history of Riga. we had an amazing tour of the gorgeous city with her. We highly recommend Zane.
Davide was one of our favorite guides of our trip! He made our one day in Estonia so informative and memorable, picking us up right from the cruise port and taking us beyond the Old City. He tailored the tour stops to our interests and did a phenomenal job explaining the history and culture of Estonia. I learned so much from him and thoroughly enjoyed my day!
We had a such wonderful tour in lovely Riga. Zane made it very engaging, mixing history, art & architecture, culture plus some fun facts while having lots of laughs as well!!! We can only highly recommend Zane as a great guide to discover this city which has so much to offer.
My wife and I had a wonderful tour of Riga’s Old Town with Zane. She offers a good balance of historical facts, customs and anecdotes, in excellent English. Her pride in her country is obvious and her enthusiasm made it easy to talk about both the history of and current life in Latvia. Zane is very knowledgeable and provided us with good suggestions of restaurants and places to visit in Riga and elsewhere in Latvia. She is also a guide who listens well, keeping track of all our questions and comments. We highly recommend her as a tour guide.
I really enjoyed the tour with Zane. She knows a lot of history and details and explains everything in a very passionate and joyful way. Highly recommend taking a tour with Zane
