Outstanding tour by Diana! - October 17, 2025. Diana hosted a rewarding and enriching tour of Old Town Riga. She explained the history of the buildings and the significant times of Latvian history. After the tour, my spirit was enlightened. The tour was biblical. Diana is legendary. I would do it again!

Great overview of Riga’s Old City. - Walking, stopping, listening to guide explain points of interest. Excellent guide who also informed us of Latvia’s current state with its support of Ukraine and the Russian population in Latvia. Very interesting and that alone was worth price of tour.
