We had a wonderful time in Riga. The guide was very professional and friendly at the same time. She even gave us additional recommendations on what to visit on our own and where to find delicious food and interesting souvenirs.
Our trip to was astonishing! This was our third trip using this traveling agency and by far it has been the best one. All thanks to the agency for their excellent recommendations and customer service. The guide was quite accommodating, both before the trip and during it. He helped us while we were having some issues with my sister’s health during the trip. He was very professional while being caring as well. To sum it up, it was a breathtaking experience to see the view and hear the stories of the city from the guide. We definitely recommend travelling with this agency and we will definitely book more excursions/trips.
This tour was the best thing for me—and I couldn’t be happier. My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and always helpful. I will just say that I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed traveling all by myself. If you are afraid of traveling alone, I would definitely recommend you to do this and book a tour with this wonderful guide, he will respect your privacy and skip something if it’s not interesting for you.
You won’t hear a dry, encyclopedic narrative here. You will hear things you probably haven’t heard and experience things you haven’t experienced, and maybe even feel so involved in the story that you want more. I could go on and on about the experiences, so I wish you could experience them for yourself!
