Pearls of Riga Art Nouveau

Jelena took me on an architectural tour. Until you go on one of these you don;t always realize how much thought architects put into their buildings. I was fortunate that it had recently snowed, which adds another interesting perspective to the tour. I liked the way Jelena provided additional comments, and even noted that the former president had just passed us by!

I love the old and historic and admire the design of the old Art Nouveau buildings. The Nativity of Christ Orthodox Cathedral was amazing, inside and out. An interesting and enjoyable tour.

This was an excellent tour of a very interesting Riga architectural style. Jelena was very knowledgable, and excellent company. I highly recommend this tour with Jelena.

we had a wonderful tour with Jelena. she is knowledgeable, friendly and kind. highly recommended.

Jelena led an interesting and informative tour of Riga's art nouveau architecture. I would never had noticed the many details of it if she hadn't pointed them out and explained the reasons for them. I particularly liked the included inside tour of the Art Nouveau Museum. She does speak softly, so I had to listen very carefully, especially when traffic was going by, but I enjoyed her tour and learned a lot from it.

Jelena is a wonderful tour guide and we enjoyed her art nouveau tour so much we extended our time with her to spend the entire day. She is very knowledgeable, sweet and caring. We learned much on the tour and now look at buildings in a completely different way. She made great suggestions for our extended tour. We went to an out of the way incredibly moving memorial for Zanes Lipka who was an unsung hero of the Holocaust. She gave good advice about being prepared for the weather and is a safe driver.
