Toms was a fantastic tour guide! We had already done the Old Town tour with Toms and we were pleasantly surprised again by how much we learned about the ‘centre’ of Riga. It’s a fun, informative and engaging tour from start to end. My advice… get to this tour as early as you can during your trip and make sure you tip your tour guide based on how much fun you have, how much you learn and how much you laugh!

Definitely worth doing this tour. The guide was personable and friendly backed with a wealth of knowledge. The tour highlights amazing facts of the city and it's history, including some hidden gems I would 100% have missed without the tour. A great way to explore outside of the old town and get a great feel for the unique history of Riga.

This was our second tour with Toms. We really enjoyed his storytelling and his ability to explain usually plain history in a fun way again. Great way to get to know this city a bit more!!
