The best excursions to discover any tourism destination are excursions organized by local guides. I am one of them in Latvia (licensed and happy) - Armands Latvia Guide. I am not calling guiding - my job, this is my Life. The way I am doing this usually are not only informative, but also helping to discover sense of place. I am calling my excursions - LIFESTYLE EXCURSIONS. Excursions should not be boring. Try it! I have educational background in Biology (thanks to Gerald Durell and Nicolay Drozdov) and in Tourism (thanks to Tur Heyerdahl and Yury Senkevich). Latvia is beautiful with rich history, beautiful nature, safe, tasty and friendly with a nice people. The tourists are different with different interests, so I am flexible to fined the best way to suite guests interests. The educational background - several guide courses and academic degree in Biology (MSc) and Tourism Management (MBA) and near 30 years in Tourism industry helps me to keep my level interesting and professional.

Your Riga tour itinerary

Kuldiga, a medieval town, is a true gem of the Kurzeme region, located 130 km from Riga. Narrow streets and 18th-19th centuries houses with red roof tiles are well-preserved and create a romantic atmosphere in the town. Because of its authentic planning and architecture which reflects the local building traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries, Kuldiga has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. This is a town where several movies were filmed as well. During the tour we will visit the picturesque historical center, the old bridge is one f the longest in Europe and see the waterfall on the River Venta. That is about 250 meters wide and impressive. On the way to Kuldiga it is possible to make a stop at the Sabile town, which is known for its open-air vineyard included in the Guinness World Book of Records as the northernmost. Sabile also hosts a Garden of Dolls - an open-air exhibition with life-size dolls dressed up in different costumes and exposing different scenes of everyday life.
