Running free tours and bike tours in Riga for over 10 years. We have been making Free Tours to show the city of Riga in a different light. Our approach to guiding is more relaxed than other tours and we try to entertain as well as be informative. Our team is really mixed, we have historians, artists, geographers, actors, a real mixed bag of people. Our aim is to keep developing and learning to give a new perspective on the city for residents and visitors alike.
One of the highlights of my time in Riga was the free walking tour of the Old Town. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city’s history. In less than two hours we covered many of the main landmarks like St. Peter’s Church, the House of the Blackheads, and Dome Square while hearing fascinating stories about Riga’s medieval past, Soviet years, and modern life in Latvia. The tour was well organized, easy to follow, and full of interesting local insights you would never get just walking around on your own. It’s a great way to orient yourself in the city and learn what to explore next. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Riga for the first time.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Visited so many interesting places we may not have noticed them on our own. Our guide Richards (sorry I know the spelling is incorrect) was knowledgeable and interested in answering our questions. Felt like a discussion not a lecture. Pace was good. Learnt a lot
What a way to see Riga in the snow, thank you Sophia for keeping us entertained and moving. Beautiful city.
It is a cold day. We had a big group. I went with the same tour guide before for another tour. Still felt a bit rush. The history, though needed, was long-winded when we could have used the time elsewhere. The tour guide had the next group at 2pm so the tour ended promptly at 1145am.
