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.

Here we will walk in centuries and will meet milestones of Riga story told by local - flags and street names changing, armies marching, walls raised and laid down, revolutions, uprisings. . . But still, Riga is there, still beautiful. So during our exploration, we will look and touch and hear to realize how amazing cultural, linguistic and business hub Riga has been and still is! It is not exaggerated to say that someone from here created the first pair of blue jeans, another stood at the rise of the automobile industry, brothers Lumiere came here just a few months after scaring public in Paris, oh, and of course, the very first Christmas tree ever (sorry, Tallinn!). At any time together we can create this adventure and customize it according to your interest and time limits!
Pick up from any hotel, port or other meeting point agreed. Transfer back and forth possible. This is roughly 2 hours walking tour upon your pace and interest! The Town Hall Square Blackheads House St. Peters Church First castle of Riga Wagner Street Livu Square wit Guilds and the Black Cat Dome Cathedral Three Brothers St. Jacobs Cathedral and Parliament house Swedish Gate Gunpowder Tower Bastion Hill Freedom Monument wit Opera and University buildings.
