Hi, my name is Agrita, welcome to Riga, my all time favourite city! I am a certified professional guide and I provide private, tailor made tours in Latvia. The driving force behind my work is the joy and pleasant surprise I see in my guests when they come to my hometown Riga and travel around Latvia. They are surprised by the splendid nature, the trees and the flowers everywhere they go. Riga is a vibrant city. It is a place where you can enjoy architecture and culture, meet the locals and try Latvian cuisine. We will visit Old Town Riga, green boulevards and parks, the Art Nouveau district, Riga's Central Market and much more. Outside the capital, combined walking and driving tours to discover in-depth stories about Riga, Jurmala, Sigulda, Kuldiga, Rundale Palace and more. If you are interested in Jewish heritage in Riga, ghost towns or Soviet era relics, I may know just the place. I am passionate about history, culture, architecture, the seaside and food. When not working, I enjoy travelling and going to music concerts. I look forward to welcoming you in Riga and perhaps I can make this place your favourite city too! Licensed Riga city guide. Licensed guide in Art Nouveau museum in Riga. Member of Association of Latvian Professional Guides. For guests from cruise ships: - unless agreed otherwise I will meet you outside the port gates.

Riga is much more than a place full of sights; it is also a city that is full of life, joy, and music. As my hometown, it gives me a chance to make Riga shine for my tour guests. Together with me you will not just see the beautiful buildings of our precious Riga and hear its stories. You will also find out how people used to live here and how Latvians live today. During the tour you will visit the magical Old Riga, the lively Central Market, the Kipsala Island, and the Art Nouveau district. You will also have some time for shopping in local designers' shops and in a shopping mall in the center of Riga. And we can stop for lunch of one of many outside cafes of Old Riga.
Agrita is the guide for you if you want someone who is funny, kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and architecture of her country. Our day with Agrita was like a highly interesting conversation with a friend. Agrita does not lecture or give rote information. She engages and converses. It is a rare skill she has! We enjoyed our day with her so much. It brought the country and its past, present, and future to life.
Agrita led us on a great tour of Riga. Great command of the English language, which is very important when touring a country that you don’t have much knowledge of. Lots of history, along with every day living facts. The whole group enjoyed this tour.
Excellent tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and hit all of the Riga highlights. Definitely recommend.
Our tour guide Agrita provided us with an exceptional experience. We couldn't have had a better guide. She was knowledgeable and accommodating. Really exceptional. We highly recommend Agrita and her tour.
I'll meet you at the cruise ship terminal. We start the tour in the Old Town, where you will see the House of the Blackheads, St. Peter's church, the House of the Black Cat, the Latvian House of the Parliament and much more. I'll show you the nicest buildings of Gothic, Baroque, Classicism and Art Nouveau. Then we will head to the Central Market - an amazing masterpiece of architecture where the everyday life of Riga's inhabitants can be seen. Our last stop is Kipsala Island, an area historically inhabited by fishermen and port workers, which is now one of the most attractive areas of Riga. It attracts Rigans and city guests because of its beautiful wooden houses, peaceful atmosphere, and the view of the city from across the river. Lunch break options are endless in Old Town and central Riga. I can always show you some of my own favourites as a local. Then we will visit the spectacular Art Nouveau District where you'll see the elegant style which Riga is so famous for.
