A small-group day trip from Riga to Jurmala, Kemeri bog boardwalk, Kuldiga waterfall and brick bridge, plus an off-map Baltic beach.

“My tour with Jimmy was fantastic. The best way for me to describe my experience, is that it felt personal. It felt like I was visiting my family in another country for the first time, and Jimmy was like my long lost cousin who hadn’t seen me since we were kids and cleared his schedule to entertain me (perhaps because his mother told him he had to 😂). The extra effort he put into not just the tour but in connecting with me on a personal level and making me feel at ease as truly wonderful.

Riga Central Market tasting with a small English group. Sample 20+ Latvian foods in 2 hours, guided through UNESCO market life.

“Very knowledgeable guide, friendly and personable. Great to taste local food and really enjoyed it. Just felt that the actual food tasting was a bit rushed. We didn’t get to taste the puddings in the photo, just couldn’t resist a photo. Bought some home too.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $11Best value

A 1-hour Riga Old Town legends walk with Black Balsam tasting, medieval landmarks, and a small English group capped at 15 for $11.91.

“Our guide, Mara, was absolutely fantastic. She took us around to the major sites, but also several lesser known places and facts as well. We learned so much in this tour. Bring good walking shoes! While the tour is nearly all flat, the cobblestones are still your walking surface as with all old town sections in the area. We had a fantastic time and are very glad we signed up for this tour!”

7.Sigulda Top Sights & Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 6 hours · from $153

6-hour Sigulda day trip from Riga with Livonian castles, Gutman’s Cave, Turaida Fortress, and optional candlelit wine tasting in Ligatne.

“We ended up getting a private tour with Mara, as no one else booked, and she was a fantastic guide! She shared about her life in Latvia, showed us some must-see stops, and entertained us with some local stories. The place we stopped to get pastries for lunch was so cute and the sweet and savory pastries were delicious. She also shared two amazing recommendations for dinner and rooftop drinks in Riga after she dropped us back off! It was a great first day in Latvia and made our experience walking around old town the next day even more valuable with the little tidbits she had shared.”
