I am a tour guide who enjoys showing and talking about Riga to people visiting this great city. I like to tell stories in a fun way and I will reveal to you the most beautiful and unexpected places to visit in Riga. I like to entertain and I like to take good care of people. I've been a guide for 10 yrs now as of September 2022. I started 2012 doing kayaking Tours at Daugava River and Riga city canal. And step by step I grew and widened my area of knowledge. Nowadays I can provide a lot of interesting and witful Tours of Riga, Latvia and surroundings. Every place has a certain beauty and my task is to show You that beauty. City of Riga guide sertificate No 674 My Tours must be scheduled at least one week before the start. Tours coming from cruise ships have to start at the gate of Riga Passenger port.

Overview of your Riga tour

Seems like Riga is perfect for discovering by riding a bicycle - large parks and boulevards. Seems like it was made just for that. The tour starts in the Old town, then straight to the Freedom monument and Latvian National Opera with its beautiful garden and the canal. The tour also includes important sightseeing objects as Russian Orthodox Cathedral and The Art Museum and Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) district, which is called the quite center and has many picturesque architecture designs, art galleries and cozy restaurants. Riga city tour also goes through renovated wooden architecture of the Kipsala and Kalnciema districts, Victory park and the Latvian National library building. This tour is based on the contrast of various architecture styles and living standards - posh Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) versus adorable wooden houses. This Tour is only for weather without snow and ice on the surface of streets.
