Fantastic alternative tour, definitely recommend. Kaspas was funny, engaging, very smart and full of knowledge. The tour covered a wide range of locations and lots of interesting elements of Latvian and Rigan history. It was light-hearted and Kaspas’ style and way with words really maintained our interest, even in -5 snowy weather!

The tour covered the part right behind the central station. It was really interesting and entertaining as our guide was telling us some fun facts besides to the history of this part of Riga.
