Free walking tours in Riga

Overall it was an amazing experience and our guru guide, Gaspar, was very friendly and helpful!! He managed to guide us through the city in a very good -to-remeber way! Highly recommend it!

A systematic and engaging presentation of historical facts. A true professional.

Our tour guide was both factual and entertaining which you don’t often get. She showed a real passion for Riga and for Latvia

Un tour muy acertado y animado. Gita muy divertida y animada, siempre dispuesta a resolver cualquier pregunta.

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.

Une visite vraiment intéressante avec une multitude d'informations et d'anecdotes. Une véritable attention envers les membres du groupe pour s'assurer de leur compréhension et de leur confort. Une pointe d'humour et l'art de rendre les explications vivantes. Cerise sur le gâteau, des informations en bonus pour agrémenter la suite du séjour avec de bons co.seils et de bonnes adresses. Je recommande !!

Rita told us a lot of interesting information not only about history but also daily life in Riga. Very useful to understand Latvia people.

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

Even on a cold snowy February evening, Daniel showed us around the most interesting points in Riga Old City. Definitely a great opportunity to learn more about Riga as someone who has never been there before and knows nothing about the city and history.

We joined an evening winter walk in snowy Riga with Christa through GuruWalk and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Even with temperatures around minus twelve, the experience was excellent from start to finish. Christa shared impressive knowledge with a clear and pragmatic view of the complex and changeable history of Latvia, making it easy to follow and genuinely interesting. She was super friendly, jolly, and enthusiastic throughout, keeping everyone engaged and comfortable despite the freezing conditions. The delivery was lively, well paced, and interactive, with thoughtful answers to questions along the way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an informative and enjoyable introduction to Riga, even in very cold weather.

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.

Rita was informative and fun. There was a lot on the walk and keeping us all in the loop was no problem. It was very cold but Rita knew a couple of places indoors to give us chance to warm up. Would definitely recommend in order to learn more about Riga. 👍

Extremely informative and eye opening tour. Much more interesting off the beaten track route than the typical Old Town tour. Arthur’s English is impressive and his knowledge was enthusiastically shared. We both really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it.

This tour is about lesser known attractions of Riga. Informative but do your research so you can recognize the places quickly and have more time to look at few more.

Friendly guide. His enthusiasm and humour were very welcome on a cold snowy day. Good intro to the city. Recommended.

Great tour. Ella was really clear and clearly knew her stuff. She was full of great recommendations and made the tour interesting.

The guide was very informative and helpful! The perfect way to get to know better the history of Riga in a very entertaining and enjoyable way! Recommend!

Super coole Tour

The tour was great! Great historical context of the city and it's buildings, some cool legends and stories, really nice viewpoints and extra care and attention for the visitors. Also, some really good recommendations on what to do after the tour!

We attended the tour today with Edgars. It was our first tour of Riga & Edgars’ first tour in minus 16 degrees!!!! Despite the cold Edgars kept us entertained, took us all around the Old Town & told us lots of useful information. I’d highly recommend the tour, it was very personal & gave us a great understanding of Riga ☺️

Nice guide! We enjoyed the tour a lot in spite of the cold weather!

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 !!!!
