“Very worthwhile and entertaining ”
A very entertaining tour along the most important sites of Riga old town. Our tour guide Kaspars was a professional and very knowledgeable - maybe if the group had been a little smaller and there had been less wind which made people feel cold, we could have had an extended experience with more time for questions to ask, etc. but overall a very nice afternoon.

“Riga Old Town Free Tour”
Our guide was very informed and enthusiastic about the history and the beautiful town itself. I was there with my family for the new years and despite the freezing weather we felt entartained and satisfied with the content throughout the tour and learned so many details about the buildings, history and the culture about the city that we couldn't have learned on our own. We thank you for this amazing experience and our guide. Definetely recommended!!

“Riga Free Tour - just what we needed! ”
We arrived in Riga at lunch and by 3 we were walking around the Old Town learning a lot about the history and architecture. Caspar was an awesome guide who was honest, engaging, knowledgeable and funny. He was able to convey the complexity in an accessible and entertaining manner. We now know where to go back to and spend more time.
