"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."
"We are two German couples visiting Riga for a long weekend! The tour with Margita has been our favourite so far. She is such a lovely, authentic and passionate lady who managed to tell us so much about the history and culinary traditions of Latvia.
It was a very individual experience and we loved it! We can highly recommend Margita has ambassador of her country! Thanks so much 🙏🤩"
"Informative tour from a friendly local. Margita helped us learn about the history and local area, while highlighting the architecture and styles. Delicious food from Lido, and local ice cream with a tour of Old Town in between. Highly recommend! "
"Margita is a warm and knowledgable guide who is simply lovely to spend time with. She gave us lots of good information; it was a very enjoyable tour and she tailored the experience to the things we were interested in. Highly recommend!"
"Had we not taken this tour, we would have missed some of the most incredible architecture in Riga. This is a great way to see something that many visiting the city miss.
Margita is a native to this part of Riga and gives an excellent tour of her home turf. "
"This was a great way to get an introduction into cuisine and culture in Riga - it was one of the first things we did upon arriving. We tried local meats, cheeses, candies, pastries, and beers.
Margita is an excellent host and spokeswoman for her city. Her local knowledge really makes this tour special. "
"Ieva was an excellent guide. It probably goes without saying, but her English is superb. We felt that we covered all of the major & noteworthy landmarks of the Riga Old Town.
