“Great starting point ”
We were very impressed to see that as so many were booked on the tour two guides turned up so the groups were a more manageable size. Very good guide lots of new local information and details. He did a great job keeping the group together and then let us know about other opportunities. We will be back tomorrow. Thank you

“Great tour to have a quick insights”
We took this tour on 16th March, which was out of coincidence, also Legionnaire Day or Remembrance Day in Latvian History. So, we had some extra spice on a gloomy day. We were just 6 people in the tour.
The tour was great and very informative. mixed with bit of politics, history, revenge and culture. Arthur (hopefully I still remember the name correctly) gave a nice expression about the Old town of Riga. He seemed very knowledgable about what he was doing. So, I would suggest to go ahead with this tour to everyone who wish to attend this.

Really great and informative tour of the main sights of Riga with lots of fun facts about all the sights and the history of Riga and Latvia. Our guide was Janis and he was very knowledgeable and humourous. Pro tip, make sure you dress for the weather especially when coming during the winter months, gloves and a hat are really important when spending ~2 hours in the cold wind and snow. :P

“Excellent Tour”
Over the years we have been on several ‘free tours’ but we consider that this one hosted by Edwards was quite possibly the best.
After having a well presented insight into the history of Latvia we walked around the “old town” and every stop we made was interesting.
Edwards was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions that were asked, as well as some that weren’t in a very clear and precise way.
He had another tour starting 30 minutes later covering a different part of Riga and we may well have gone on that as well if it had not have been so cold.

“Intro to Riga”
It's a cold crisp bright day in Riga. I am warming myself back up ( Riga Coffee Jaspers suggestion) after the walking tour with Jaspers. It feels minus temperatures and Jaspers kept the attention of all that started till the end of the tour. I have been on a number of free walking tour and people often drift away. Jaspers creates a welcoming environment delivering an intro history and creates a humorous 1.5 hours slow paced wander through Rigas old town. An questions were answered with energy and humor. Defo recommend

My husband and I went with Arthur in this free tour in Riga and we both liked it a lot.

“Quick afternoon City walking Tour of Riga ”

Hemos hecho un tour sobre el casco antiguo de Riga en inglés con Kaspars. Él es un guía fantástico. Muy entusiasta y amable. Nos contó mucho sobre esta bonita ciudad. Su forma de explicar no solo te hace entender muy bien la historia y algunas curiosidades de Riga, sino que también te hace despertar interés por conocer y aprender más. De modo que hicimos otro tour con él sobre el mercado y el barrio de Moscú, que también nos encantó y nos pareció súper interesante. ¡Muchas gracias por todo! :)

hate russians, who gave them freedom and state.
