Gorgeous Photos, Fun Tour - Uri was fantastic! The photos are wonderful and he was friendly and personable and helped us be comfortable during the whole experience. Plus, we learned so much about Riga that we wouldn’t have known otherwise so I definitely recommend doing the photo shoot toward the beginning of your trip so that you can use all of Uri’s great information and tips for the rest of your stay in town. It was like touring with a really knowledgeable friend but the bonus is the fantastic photos we received just a few days later that are a million times better than anything we could’ve managed ourselves. It’s so hard to get great photos when traveling as a couple or family and I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Photo shoot in Riga - It was a pleasure working with Oriol in Riga during our photo shoot. We all had fun and somewhat new experience doing it. If we get another chance, we will do it again with Oriol.

A great way to create lasting memories! - I wanted to capture some great photos of my dad and I on our trip that weren't selfies or taken by strangers. Uri was an excellent guide through the Old City and a great photographer. He did a great job of making us comfortable and sharing the history of the city. My dad is a little older and Uri was good about looking after him and making sure that we were comfortable during the walk. This tour was alot of fun, very informative and has created some amazing memories that we'll be able to go back and look at. If you want some great photos of you, your family, friends, etc, on your trip, this is definitely worth the time and price.

Thanks URI for showing "The Real Beautiful Riga" - Through your photoshoot. - We had a wonderful time with this photo-tour in Old Riga. Uri is a great photographer and friendly person who went out of the way to help us make our trip more memorable. He shared many interesting stories and his personal vision about Riga as an expat living in Latvia. The photos we got were great, and he managed to capture nice moments between me and my wife in a very creative way. Absolutely recommended if you are in Riga for a short time!

Uri is the best! - I had such a lovely time wandering the old town with Uri while he told me about the history of Riga and took some lovely photos of me. Such a good idea for any solo travellers wanting a nice memory or families/couples as a highlight of their time away.
