There are 3 of us in Free Tours Riga by locals, all born in Riga when our country was still part of the Soviet Union.
We really love our city:) and are passionate about our job
being tour guides. We feel really privileged for given opportunity to meet
so many people from all around the world and pass over our knowledge, feelings, love and
passion.
We have guided tours in Riga and Latvia now for 8 years.
Expect to have a great time on our tour - it will be educational and fun!
Rita was an amazing guide!! Both the delivery and the content was super fun, instructive and discovered less obvious facts about Riga, Latvia and their food and culture. You can tell she loves her city and what she does. Despite the crazy cold temperatures!!!
I rate our tour 5/5 and I would definitely meet with our guide again to see other sights. Despite -15oC it was a marvellous tour - the snow and twinkling lights at night made it look very magical. We were a small group so were able to move at our own pace. Riga proved to be a curious, slightly romantic looking, compact place that I would love to go back to, to explore it further. As a very frequent traveller, fan of free walking tours and a former guide myself, its worth making participants introduce themselves for context, ask them Qs and share fun facts so they remain engaged, and when its bitterly cold and they feet start freezing off - make them do star jumps, just for fun. :)
Excellent guide !!!!
Tomas was a perfect guide. Excellent tour. Great fun.
