I am specializing in private tours for individuals and small groups in Riga and Latvia. Key of my tours is the small groups where we can personalize, adjust your every wish. In large groups it is not possible. My aim is that you leave Riga or Latvia satisfied, excited and fully understanding it regardless was it 3 hour tour or 2 days. I describe myself as an erudite and open-minded person. I love my family, history, innovation, science, financial markets, politics, sports, art, traveling and a lot more. I love to share my opinion about life in Latvia, Riga because only from locals you can get the best point of view! Currently, I am living in Riga but have been born in the countryside (150 km from capital) and visited a lot of countries around Europe. I am half-blooded- father Moldovian, mother Latvian from eastern Latvia that has their own dialect, language. I would say that I have experienced and still living in a colorful life where east meets west and the future meets the past. I am flexible and opened for different tours according to my guest's wishes. As an example- Riga running tour, beer tour. Usually if the group is between ( 1-3 people) I offer tours by car. If you are more in the group, it is also possible to organize a minivan. Bachelor degree in business management. Riga guide's license. Driving license. I am not allowed to drive in territory of the port that is the reason why I am meeting you or at exit gate or waiting room.

Overview of your Riga tour

During 4-hour tour (can be longer, take your time— I’m not in a rush) you will have a comprehensive view to Riga, Latvia. Extensive view to our country. Tour includes a relaxing walk through the narrow streets of Old Riga and more active Centre. Visit the must-see places in Riga that are legacies of the city's walking tour with a friendly local guide. Discover the most important places in Old town, center, hear about life during the occupations and enjoy great views. You'll be introduced with local tips and knowledge to feel as a fish in the water. Riga is the capital of art nouveau of the world, with almost two-thirds of all town center buildings. During the tour you will hear varied stories about the colorful history of Latvia, specific places, general information about the town and of course their people, because they make it live, make it vivid! For example, did you know that real Crocodile Dundee from movie and man who invented jeans were Latvians?
