Fun, passionate, and genuine - that’s me, your local guide Emīls! I’m originally from a small Latvian town and have lived in Riga since 2014. I love storytelling, showing my favorite hidden spots in Riga and across Latvia, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. If you’re looking for a joyful and authentic experience, I’d be happy to be your guide. My hope is that you’ll leave not only with photos, but with a little piece of Latvia in your heart.

Overview of your Riga tour

On this food and drink tasting tour, I’ll introduce you to Latvian cuisine at Riga Central Market and take you to some of my favorite local spots for food and drinks around the city. Riga Central Market is one of the largest and most historic markets in Europe, making it the perfect place to explore local flavors. We’ll visit my favorite local producers, taste traditional Latvian foods, and enjoy a few drinks together - including, of course, a pint or two of local beer. Along the way, I’ll share stories about everyday life in Latvia, local food traditions, and what makes Riga’s food scene special. If you enjoy good food, drinks, local stories, and a relaxed, social atmosphere, this tour is made for you.

Your Riga tour itinerary

We begin at Riga Central Market, where we explore the pavilions, sample food from local producers, and enjoy beer and other traditional beverages. We then head to some of my favorite nearby pubs, cafés, bakeries, or breweries, all within easy walking distance of the market.
