A special thank you from Maria and myself for the wonderful, informative, and truly magical tour of Riga guided by Margita,
On advice from Margita we also visited the following day, the tower and, thanks to the bright day, were rewarded with stunning 360-degree panoramic views of the city.
Thank you once again for such a memorable and informative tour. "
"We really enjoyed our recent food tasting walking tour with Margita who tailored the tour to our needs and was a wonderful host. She was generous with her time, answering our many questions and giving us a real feel for what life is like for the local people away from the obvious more touristy venues. She was very knowledgeable about her native city, its history and the struggles it had undergone to become the vibrant city we see today. Her affection and pride in Riga was infectious and we came away with a deeper understanding and admiration for of this wonderful city and its truly resilient inhabitants. The food and drinks we tasted were also delicious and we felt we’d had a real treat! The tour was good value for money and ended up being a very special part of our holiday in Riga with memories which will stay with us for a long time. "

Introduction to Riga
"Ieva is very knowledgeable about Riga. A great introductory tour for our group of 8. It was very cold, so options to stop for a hot drink were welcome. We followed up on some sightseeing and museum recommendations. "
"Margita was a charming and delightful guide and knew so much about the economy and history of the city. Her pride shone through and I feel inspired to visit many of the places she recommended. A perfect intro to Riga despite the rain, which we barely noticed, we were having so much fun. Highly recommended "
"We were 8 persons between 24 and 60 and we all enjoyed Margitas big knowlefge about Art Nouveau, Riga and Latvia in general. We could ask about everything and she always gave som good and intereeting answers. My biggest rwcomendation of Margita"
"One word is really only needed to describe this tour and the tour guide, Margita - excellent. This three hour look around the beautiful city of Riga took in history, culture, social observations, politics, ice-cream and coffee.
Margita has a depth of knowledge and understanding of her city that opens your eyes to all the things you might walk past without seeing them - for example, the sculptures and artwork on the top of the beautiful Art Nouveau buildings that Riga is rightly so proud of.
Her walking tour includes the New and Old Town which demonstrates how easy the city is to navigate on foot. Her artistic background illuminated points of interest throughout the tour which left me with a great set of recommendations of places to go back and explore in more detail.
Thanks for introducing me to Riga Margita!"
"leva was knowledgeable about your beautiful city. Her detailed explanation of history was impressive which I love. So many things that I would never have learned about without her expertise. "
"Eva is a very good tour guide. She is very understanding, knowledgeable and paitient. The tour was great and she was very flexible where we wanted to go. My friend and i had arrived early in the morning in riga and didn’t have much sleep. However her enthusiasm and energy made us forget how tired we were."
"Janis was knowledgeable about the history of Riga. His English is good and we had an enjoyable day out visiting all the different places we had asked him to show us."
