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.

This tour is designed to have a pleasant and relaxing day outside the city. I enjoy providing this tour because I can introduce to Latvian nature via walk in Gauja National Park; nature inspires me and my stories. Gauja Valley from Paradise Hill let's me tell you about art in Latvia and how it was inspired by Paradise Hill. . Ride in a cable car over the Gauja river valley (optional). Latvia is a country of winter sports. Visit Sigulda Bobsleigh track with the optional ride in winter or summer bobsleigh let's me connect to many sport victories of Latvian athletes. Turn your day into a pleasant and relaxing adventure by embracing nature, history, outdoor activities and having a light lunch in a local café together with your local, enthusiastic guide (that's me).
Agrita was an amazing tour guide. She happily adapted the tour for us to see the home town of my grandma. She was friendly, insightful and went over and above in making sure we had a great day out. We are excited for our second tour with her tomorrow. 100% recommend.
Agrita's grasp on the history of Riga and Latvia was impressive.
Agrita took my family of 4 today to Sigulda and Turaida today. Along the way we stopped for a bobsled ride, visited a master amber craftsmen and had a lovely lunch at a local cafe. Agrita was a wonderful and informative tour guide and answered all of our questions. It was a pleasant day to spend outside of Riga. I highly recommend Agrita for any of your touring needs.
After meeting up in your hotel lobby or other agreed meeting point, our drive to Sigulda will take about 1h. Once in Sigulda, we will visit the Sigulda Bobsleigh track followed by a stroll through Gauja National park forest trails to visit Paradise Hill. We will then see castles in Sigulda - 13th century Livonian Order castle and New Castle and craft shops on the grounds. Craft shops invite to participate in various activities, including making your own traditional souvenir from Sigulda - a walking stick. We will have time for a light lunch in a local cafeteria before we move to Turaida Castle and Estate. Turaida Castle is reachable by either Cable car or car. Turaida Castle and Estate consists of historical Stone Castle, Turaida Estate and Folk song sculpture park. This tour can be extended to town of Cesis as additional stop. Drive back to Riga is 1 hour 30 min after which I will take you back to your hotel.
