Additional Information
We conduct Everyday Bicycle Expeditions at 3:00pm that traverse the historical neighborhoods of Riga, visiting the most fascinating parts of the city.
The excursion begins with a cycling journey alongside the river, leading into the Moscow district. This locale, which transformed into the Jewish ghetto during World War II, ranks as one of the most intriguing areas in Riga. We subsequently tour the stylish Central district, home to attractive bars, cafes, and street art.
Our tours deviate from the beaten tourist path, offering an alternative, more truthful perspective of Riga, all from the agreeable seat of a city bicycle.

Afternoon well spent - Good paced tour covering some interesting parts of the city you wouldn’t otherwise see. Good selection of well maintained bikes. Flat route, as you’d expect! Guide was knowledgeable, engaging and answered everyone’s questions. Would have been good to allow a few more photo opportunity stops en route as we cycled passed some building discussed. Would definitely recommend.

A great way to see Riga! - I enjoyed the inclusion of Jewish history within the history of Latvia. Bicycles were perfect for the distances enabling us to see quite a lot without getting in and out of a car. Arthur was quite knowledgeable.

Great tour with James - This was an absolutely fantastic way to see Riga. It really expanded our view of the city as we are only here for a short time. James was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable, entertaining, and respectful of the subject matter. It is not super strenuous and ends with a relaxing cruise next to the river.
Highly recommended!!!

A must if you are visiting Riga - The perfect way to know the non touristic places in Riga. On top of that, explanations provided during the tour were super interesting. A 3h tour yiu must do if you are in Riga.

Bike tour Riga outskirts - Had already explored city centre, so this tour was refreshing and interesting to hear and see about the outskirts (Moscow district) of Riga.
Looks like this bike company is run by young enthusiastic people. We were helped super friendly and the bikes were perfect 👍🏼!

Very nice guided e-bike tour in Riga - Thanks Riga Bike Tours & Rent for a very well organized e-bike tour! Our guide was Marcus from Australia (yep, it would be another story...) and he did his job with enthusiasm and love for what he seems to be best at! Nice, versatile choice for routes and truly an abundance of knowledge of Riga and its architecture and history! E-bikes were easy to ride and allow you to see a whole lotta more than just by walking. We truly recommend! 🥰 And the price? Just 50 euros! A true bargain! 💶

Perfect tour accomodated to our wishes - My girlfriend and I had a private tour and everything was tailored to our wishes by the guide Arseny. We visited old town and took a ride further into the Maskavas Forstate. Arseny was very good at telling the history and stories in an interesting way.
All in all I would highly recommend this tour as a way to see a bit more of Riga than old town.
Good communication before the tour and everything was as agreed.
We paid 50 EUR/each plus gave him a 10 EUR tips, well deserved and worth it.
