Kaspars was one of the most entertaining guides I have had on a free walking tour. As a solo traveler, walking tours are often the highlight of my trip and this was no exception. Would definitely recommend this company when visiting Riga!

Absolutely loved the tour! It was super interesting and very complete. Kaspars was an amazing guide, thanks to him we discovered and understood Riga in such a great way. Totally recommend it!
Silvia
On the morning of September 16th, we joined a free walking tour of Riga’s Old Town with our guide, Harijs. The tour was extremely interesting and well organized, enriched not only with historical insights but also with fun anecdotes, such as which movies were filmed in Riga and some personal stories from our guide. We visited all the main landmarks of the Old Town, always accompanied by clear and engaging explanations. Harijs has a strong and clear voice, with excellent speaking skills, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable.
Julie
The tour was really good and we saw lots of different examples of art nouveau. Our guide Emile was very friendly and funny and you could give him a tip at the end of what you wanted which was fine as he deserved it after a wonderful 2 hours looking around Riga. Would definitely recommend these tours.

I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Free Riga Tour! Our guide Kasper was beyond amazing – one of the best guides I’ve ever had anywhere. He is super knowledgeable about Riga’s history and culture, and he shared it all in such a clear, engaging, and entertaining way. Kasper is not only a true expert but also incredibly funny, keeping the whole group laughing while learning. His ability to combine deep knowledge with humor and energy made the experience unforgettable. If you are in Riga, do not miss a tour with Kasper – it will be the highlight of your trip!

Gunta showed us all the important Art Nouveau landmarks of Riga and answered all our questions in a very attentive manner. It was a small group of under 10 people which made the tour very personable. Very fun and well worth the money!
