Fue bastante increible ver como estabamos todos esperando al guia. Entiendo que puede pasar, pero al menos podría haber avisado o minimo responder a nuestros mensajes. Bastante decepcionada ya que, sin previo aviso, nos quedamos sin tour de la ciudad y ya no habia huecos en otros tours para ese dia

El mejor tour que he hechopor Europa, Riga no tiene tanto que ver como Praga , Budapest o Cracovia, pero el guía es puro entretenimiento, perfecto español, conocimiento y buenos chistes y graciosos comentarios que hacen muy ameno el tour. Felicidades.
