Hi (Labdien)! Welcome to my city Riga, rich in culture, vibrant and dynamic place. Riga is full of surprises and I invite you to discover them together with me. I have turned my passion for Riga, history, art and architecture into exciting work as a private guide for individuals and small groups. I am a certified guide and provide both walking and driving tours in Riga and Latvia. I try to involve an experience element in each of my tour as what we take back home from a travel are emotions. And I adapt each tour to your specific interests, please contact me before the tour and tell your preferences. I believe that guiding is not just showing around, it is sharing a particular moment with your guests. I am happy to share my love for Riga with you. See you in Riga. Official license No. 700 for guiding in Riga in EN, RU. License to guide in Art Nouveau Museum. Driving license since 1997. Education: MSc in Public Administration and Communication No restrictions.

Overview of your Riga tour

Riga was always a dynamic city and so it is now! It offers diverse experiences and many of them limited in time - even just for a few hours or days. This is why I created this tour! Spending a day with a local will give you an opportunity to take the best from your day in Riga. I am a certified guide, so the tour includes essential Old Riga and Art Nouveau district walk, and the rest is upon your wishes and current events in the city - like fisherman village walk, organ concert in the church, pop up art exhibition or street food events. Our highlights during this tour: learn about Medieval history, Art Nouveau era, life during soviet regime and regaining the independence, current art, culture and music scene. Join me and discover Riga with a local!
