Latvia · TOUR REVIEWS
A long weekend in Riga leaves room for two, maybe three bookings — and the wrong one costs you Rundāle. The 15 below earn their slot: what each costs, how long it runs, and which to lock in first.
Walk Riga’s Old Town with an English guide on a 1.5-hour route, stopping at Town Hall Square, St Peter’s, St John’s, Livu Square, Cat House, and Riga Cathedral.
“Fantastic guide (Rita) who brought the history and culture of Riga alive and provided excellent orientation.”
Taste Latvia across Riga Central Market’s five zeppelin hangars, with guided samples, local stories, and enough bites to feel like a meal.
“Amazing tour of the markets. Got to sample local fruits, meats, cheeses and even my favourite riga black!! If you want an introduction to latvian culinary tastes this is a trip worth booking. Our guide was fantastic and really knew her stuff. The sights, smells and tastes are not to be missed.”
Riga to Lithuania day trip with Bauska Castle, Rundale Palace, border photos, and Kryziu Kalnas where you can add your own cross.
“It was a great experience and definitely worth doing. Seeing some of the history of Latvia and a small portion of Lithuania was great. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because it rained all day so I was very wet and didn’t get to see some things such as the rundale palace gardens, the tour guide Janis was very knowledgable and friendly giving us history of where we were and even some personal stories I highly recommend this affordable and fun trip.”
Cycle Riga’s key monuments and local neighborhoods on a 3-hour bike tour with a guide, helmet, and free stop admissions for $47.18.
“I had a great time exploring the Moscow District on this unique tour. I was lucky enough to be the only one booked in for the bike tour with Arseny, my own private tour. He was a great guide and i had opportunity to find out about the city in depth and ask all the questions. Arseny made me feel comfortable and I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company.”

“The tour was great. We were just a small group. Janis told us a lot about the history and answered all questions. We laught a lot during the trip and the time passed by pretty fast. I highly recommend this tour.”
Riga canal boat tour with English audioguide, blankets and life vests. Glide past monuments, theater, opera, and Daugava views.
“The boat ride itself was good, but it was difficult to find the departure dock as there are other companies along the canal. It turned out the place was away from the main tourist spots and the other companies are not willing to help you to find it.”
Private 5-hour Riga to Sigulda and Turaida tour with Gauja National Park, castles, Gutman's Cave, and local culture in a small group.
“The tour was well organized, pick up was punctual, and great communication. The guide/driver - Armands- was very informative and happy to accommodate throughout the tour. Highly recommended for an exceptional experience in Latvia!”
Private husky dog sledding from Riga with hotel pickup, a 3 km ride, hot drinks, and a snowy forest walk in Kangari or Blue Hill.
“We were picked up near our accommodation and then we were off! After a hearty greeting from the dogs, we were offered homemade tea and "Black Balsam," which definitely helped keep us warm. A short introduction and then we were allowed to drive. It was a fantastic experience driving through the snow-covered forest! The short snow hike also gave us a view of Latvia.”
A guided day trip from Riga to Rundale Palace, Bauska Castle, and Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses, with hotel pickup and included entrances.
“We were the only couple on the buss so this was basically a private tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to share the stories of Latvia. The castle was cool as they are renovating it using the traditional methods, the Palace was stunning and the gardens there amazing. Then the hill of crosses. they don[t tell you how big it is, spread out over an acre full of rabbit trails with all the crosses commemorating various groups and people. Truly amazing.”
Guided legends day trip from Riga to Sigulda and Turaida: Gutman’s Cave, castles, bobsleigh track photos, and café lunch stop.
“Maria was a superb guide - charming and friendly, she effortlessly shared her extensive knowledge in both English and Russian for our small, mixed nationality group. She told us not only about the sites we visited, but also about their historical contexts and about modern Latvia. All in all a memorable, unrushed day, and an excellent complement to Riga's bustle. I cannot recommend this excursion highly enough.”
Every kind of Latvian day out, and the best of each.
