Free Tours of Modernism in Riga

A fabulous tour which whizzed by in time. Full of interesting facts, history melded with sociology and architecture. Guide was passionate, fun and patient with questions. Highly recommended! Will see Riga in new light henceforth

Knowledgeable guide, learned a lot about architecture and Art Nouveau. Also heard many interesting stories along the way. Great storytelling.

Very informative, funny and worthwhile!!

Excellent tour of the art nouveau edifice in Riga, which our guide Harry interspersed with plenty of information presented in a humorous fashion, making the tour both fun and interesting.

Interessante Führung zum Jugendstil. Mal etwas anderes als die klassischen Altstadtführungen. Der Guide hat ein breites Wissen zum Jugendstil und kann diese Spannend rüber bringen. Das Thema ist aber sehr spezifisch, weshalb sich die Führung an Leute richtet die sich explizit für den Jugendstil und Riga vor den beiden Weltkriegen interessieren.

Excellent tour, with a lot of context about the origins and magnificence of the Art Nouveau in Riga. Arthur provided very useful information with his knowledge and smart sense of humor ( No cheap jokes, to make the crowd smile). A must if you are visiting this city!

Very high quality tour given by a professional!

Emils‘ walking tour „Art nouveux in Riga“ had exactly the right amount of velocity, information and fun I needed. He answered my questions sufficiently, spoke with a nice sense of (latvian) humor and gave anybody time to follow (with legs and brains). Highly recommended!

Great, informative tour delivered in a lively and enthusiastic way. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the beautiful architecture of Riga!

The tour was very well researched, and we visited several Art Nouveau buildings. Our guide gave us background information to each. He also was very friendly and open to further questions during the whole tour.

It was a great informative art tour with our guide who is very knowledgeable- lots of details, facts and history. Could have gone on for another hour. Would highly recommend!

Excellent

Muy buen recorrido, en inglés, por la zona art nouveau de Riga. El guía conoce mucho de historia y anécdotas de los edificios, la zona y de Riga en general; da sugerencias de qué más visitar, dónde comer, comprar.

Great tour and amazing tour guide

Emil was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, passionate, fun! I highly recommend him if you are visiting the beautiful city of Riga in Latvia

Very good

Great Art Nouveau tour with Caspars :-) Really informative, we learnt how this philosophy came to be, how to differentiate the various declinations all the while strolling around beautiful Riga. Great info given in a fun entertaining manner. I could have easily added another hour, to be able to visit more buildings.

Very knowledgeable guide and it was better than I expected

Estuvo muy bueno! Que ver porque Riga era famosa por el Art Nouveau y cumplió mis expectativas! Nos puso en contexto , nos explicó los diferentes estilos de art nouveau

Interesting and informative

Nice good guide I love the tour

Die Tour war großartig und sehr qualifiziert einschließlich der sehr guten Präsentation wichtiger fachlicher Hintergrundinformationen

Der perfekte Guide für diese Walkingtour. Wir wünscchten uns so einen Geschichtslehrer gehabt zu haben. Alles super und verständlich erklärt, auch für "non-native speaker. Alles in allem einfach super!

Very good

Informativ, unterhaltsam und sehr interessant, sehr sympathischer Guide. Jedem wärmstens zu empfehlen, der mehr als die Altstadt kennenlernen möchte bzw. jedem, der an Architektur interessiert ist.
