Additional Information
Initiating at our lease location on Pils 14, the excursion is set for a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes. This grand tour showcases Riga’s major attractions within just a span of 90 minutes.
It’s an enjoyable alternative to exhausting foot explorations across the bumpy cobblestone-filled streets of Old Riga. The same range of facts and structures can be covered in a single day rather than spending it all on walking tours. The tour is an extraordinary, entertaining journey suitable for a broad spectrum of age groups.
In nearly 1.5 hours time, you’ll be familiar with the most significant aspects of Riga and Latvia. You’ll be acquainted with genuine facts, narratives and myths, along with the most eye-catching architectural, artistic, and cultural landmarks, including UNESCO-protected Old Riga Town and Art Nouveau neighborhood, parks, and more.
Keep in mind that available start times are approximate and will be verified or adjusted after the reservation.

Superb Segway sightseeing - Fantastic fun. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made sure we could all steer our segways before setting off.
We were asked whereabouts we would like to visit so we requested a tour of the art nouveau area. We had great fun going through the parks and open spaces. Thoroughly recommend this activity.

This is the only way I want to tour a new city from now on! - Excellent tour of old town and the art nouveau sights of Riga! We had already done a walking tour of old town Riga which we let our Segway tour guide know. As the free walking tour we went on the day before was a part of the same company, our Segway tour guide knew what we’d have been shown already and took us around a completely different part of the city to explore the art nouveau buildings which Riga has in abundance.
The Segways themselves were incredibly fun - you can get a good speed on if you want around the freedom tower and in the huge parks! If you’re a complete newbie like we were, they make sure you get the hang of it before your tour begins.
The tour took us further than we thought and we learnt so much about the amazing city. Although it is quite expensive, it was a highlight of our trip and well worth it. 10/10 recommend!

Segway Tour Got Two Thumbs Up from my Teenage Son - We lucked out finding this outfitter. There was a cruise ship in town. Yet, the operator was able to get my son and I a spot in the afternoon. It was our first time on Segway, which added an element of adventure to the tour. Our guide was super friendly, had an endearing sense of humor, and very informative. Riga is a beautiful city and I recommend a Segway or bike tour to get out of the standard tourist areas. Note - your feet may get sore, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

Segwaying in the Rain! - This was a fantastic tour despite the POURING rain!!
And despite the weather the tour went ahead with us well wrapped in waterproof ponchos!
The guide was really knowledgable and the headsets meant we could hear everything he said whilst we were moving and we didn’t have to keep stopping.
We’d never done segways before but they’re easy to learn and great fun!
Even the two 17 year old girls with us loved it!
We’d definitely recommend this tour - just hope for better weather!

Transformative perfect tour - The Segway units had large tires for the cobblestone streets and were easy to maneuver and comfortable. The historical commentary was fabulous and continuous throughout the entire tour through the remote earpieces. our guide was knowledgeable, humorous and full of intimate details. Unquestionably one of the best tours we have had here in the Baltic as we have toured multiple cities. I can’t imagine a better way to see Riga- The tour literally transformed our perspective on the city and country.

Touring Riga by Segway - The segway tour was very good. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Riga and Latvia, explaining the history of the country. The segways were in good condition and they spent time at the beginning making sure you were comfortable operating the segway. I would recommend this tour as a great way to see the city. My only suggestion would be if visiting in colder months, make sure you have some extra warm gloves as it can get cold as you ride along.
