Hello, and welcome to Latvia! While traveling, all the hidden and unusual trails seemed the most exciting for me. All the magical paths of locals, you know? With over 25 years of dedicated experience as a tour guide and local expert, this really is my passion. I take pride in sharing the knowledge and expertise I have accumulated throughout the years, ensuring that each guest receives an enriching and memorable experience. Guiding with enthusiasm, I am dedicated to make every tour an exploration of not just the surroundings, but also the culture and history. My mantra is simple: immerse yourself in the true essence of a destination by traveling as a local, connecting with the locals, and savoring the authentic flavors of the region. It's not just about visiting a place; it's about experiencing it from the inside out, embracing the local culture, and experiencing the unique tastes that define the heart and soul of each location. My hobbies are related to exploring the world, travelling and learning about other cultures. I find joy in cooking and reading travel stories and books of other travelers. I am a fan of active lifestyle and tourism, I am glad to show you the treasures and hidden stories besides the roads, walls, and tourist places in my city Cēsis and Gauja National Park, all, from A to Z. I want to share these stories with you, as a local. I am delighted to show you the natural wonders surrounding the capital city of Riga, as well as the charming towns and villages located just a short drive of half an hour to two hours away. Picture this: - A leisurely walk along the serene Vidzeme Coastline by the Baltic Sea - Hikes through historical villages Ligatne and Sigulda - Pleasure of exploring historical paths amid the medieval castles of Sigulda and Cesis - Strolling through the charming old town of Cesis - Venturing into the wonders of Gauja National Park - Navigating Ligatne Nature Trails with the thrilling possibility of encountering wilderness animals and the scenic pathways along the Amata and Gauja Rivers Your exploration awaits, and I'm here to make it a memorable journey! P. S. : if you wish to personalize any of my tours, please let me know! - Tourism and hospitality bachelor's degree "Turiba University" - Hospitality management diploma of the "American Hotel & Motel Association" (AH&MA) - "Via Hanseatica" tourist guide certification - Nature tourism management certification of the "Latvian Nature Tourism Association" In my tours I have no restrictions.
