Free Tours of Modernism in Riga

A comprehensive tour of art nouveau buildings in Riga that was well presented, informative, which is difficult since the subject if somewhat dry.

Die Tour durch Rigas Zentrum mit Fokus auf die unzähligen Jugendstil Gebäude und deren Geschichte hat mir sehr gefallen. Richards konnte die Entwicklung Rigas mit vielen Hintergrundinformationen und Anekdoten lebendig erläutern. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, die Stadt von dieser Seite zu entdecken.

Experiencia muy buena e información completa. Muy interesante

Very interesting tour, perfect as a second day tour of Riga (eg. after tour of the old town)

Fabulous tour, each building was eye candy. The guide, Casper, was superlative…knowledgeable, passionate, and witty.

Very informative and interesting tour of some of the huge number of Art Nouveau buildings, introduced by a really interesting historical context which explains both proliferation and location of the Art Nouveau area. We did this tour the dat after the Old Riga tour and would recommend that order as the context of Old Rigan history enhanced our understanding of the whole background to the area.

A nice walk that takes to areas outside the old city to see fantastic buildings.

Perfectly managed! Bravo!

Edvard gave us a very good historical and architectural insight on the art nouveau in Riga. We can highly recommend the tour.

Mareks is a super guide! Funny and making the content very interesting. Thank you

Kaspars was an exceptional communicator and engaging story teller. His academic backgroud was perfect for providing context to the various art noveau styles. Thoroughly recommend!

Jasper was the best!! So informative !! He made it so fun & leaned alot!

Very knowledgeable guide, excellent tour

Excellent tour of the Art Nouveau area of Riga. It felt like a fun university class. I enjoyed the way our guide Eduard asked US questions and got the group involved in finding features of the buildings. Very well done!

An excellent tour. Fascinating stories and histories lie behind these locations and landmarks.

Our guide was professional, timely, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and it was well worth the afternoon time invested thank you.

I participated in two walking tours during the weekend (Old Riga by James and Riga's history of Art Nuevo by Rixard). Both of them were very informative, professional and entertaining.

The tour has very nice aesthetics. The guide told us a lot about Riga's architecture and life in general. Recommend, if you are interested in the architecture and interesting stories about Riga

Very interesting and accessible introduction to Art Nouveau.

Great tour with Kasper, it was interesting, funny and engaging! Highly recommended

Kaspars was an excellent guide, providing a lot of serious information, but his pleasant tone and subtle sense of humour made even the facts interesting. He spoke loudly, was easy to understand, was willing to answer questions and share additional recommendations. If you are looking for an educational way to spend a few hours admiring the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture of Riga, I 100% recommend it.

Veramente professionale e ben preparato. Ha risposto a tutte le domande fatte. Bravissimo

Exceeded my expectations and Richard was an excellent guide. He provided useful historical facts that helped me gain better understanding of of the art nouveau movement in Riga. He spoke clearly and had meaningful information besides just some random touristy anecdotes. I learned a great deal about the architecture style and recommend this tour to people interested in architecture.

Richards hat die Tour freundlich, charmant und mit unglaublich viel Wissen zu einem wunderbaren Erlebnis werden lassen. Absolut empfehlenswert. Danke

Ewa hat mit großer Begeisterung und kleinen Anekdoten Wissenswertes über Jugendstil und auch über wichtige Orte in Riga erzählt. Sehr sympathische Stadtführerin!
