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.

Aurels was a great guide with some incredible knowledge of the area and Latvian history. Tremendous day out and certainly made my visit to Riga worth it just for this. Perfect for anyone traveling solo too.
Richard M.Canada
Aurels is a charming and handsome young man who gives an excellent tour and he is sensitive to the traveller's needs and wants. I had a wonderful day.
Wolfgang S.Germany
We first thought about choosing a slightly older guide, but despite his youth, Aurels is a very experienced guide who knows the area like the back of his hand. Aurels had picked us up perfect on time with his comfortable Volvo. He is a very safe and careful driver. Aurels was able to give us a lot of information about Latvia and Sigulda. He is really interested in his guests and we had very good conversations about a very wide range of topics. We enjoyed the tour a lot and Aurels was a great companion.

Aurels is an incredible tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the history and nature of Sigulda- Latvian Switzerland, Livonia Order Castles ruins, Turaida Medieval Castle, the cave, sculpture gardens, bobsled area, and so much more. He has an easy manner about him and was curious about who we are and also where we came from. He showed enormous respect to us. We were visiting from the United States. My husband and I appreciated that he spoke English so very well. We highly recommend Aurels P.
