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.

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.
