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

The trip that I will take You on is more than a gastronomic adventure. Yes, of course my guests like to say that they had their fill, but there is more to it than food. On the way through the Pavilions, I will spice up the narrative with small funny stories, and you get an insight into what a "democratic meeting place" the Central Market is. People from all walks of life, rich and poor, meet here. The market is in every sense a really colorful place!
