"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."
"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. "

Excellent tour of the Old Town & Market
"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.
Ieva is a native and handled the tour with all the knowledge of someone who grew up around this amazing history. "
"Ieva is a perfect guide: Perfect use of English, perfect knowledge of history and culture - and a wonderfull sence of humour;-)
Hereby the best recommendations from our group, which consisted of 8 Danish seniors."
"Leva takes her job seriously meaning she tells not just the facts of a site but augments historical facts with personal experiences. She shared a ton of information, was very pleasant and took us to her favorite spots. Highly recommend.
"
"Margita is such a good guide. She really loves Riga and is eager to show the hidden gems of this beautiful city.
It was the second time I booked her and it felt like coming back to a friend."
"We did two tours with Margita in Riga—The 10 Tastings of Riga and Highlights & Hidden Gems of Riga—on consecutive days, and both were excellent!
Margita has incredible knowledge of Riga, showing us all the highlights of Old Town and the Art Nouveau neighborhoods while sharing fascinating insights. Her English is excellent, and her passion for her city really shines through.
The tasting tour was a highlight—stopping at spots like Lido in Old Town and exploring the market, where Margita picked out local foods to create a delightful picnic for us. It was a fun and unique way to experience Riga’s food culture.
Margita has lived in Riga her entire life, and her deep connection to the city makes her tours truly special. I highly recommend booking with her for an engaging and memorable experience!"
