Ulrika was fantastic! Great sense of humour, very personable and had a good mix of personal anecdotes and history.

An excellent tour, super-informative and a real insight into Latvian history. Marics was a very entertaining guide.

Emils was super-interesting and shared his parents’ and grandparents’ stories of the Soviet era - as well as the official history. Great tour!

I've learned new facts about Soviet times in Latvia, Ulrika was very engaging and enthusiastic, time honestly flew by. I highly recommend this tour!

This tour is a must if you want to understand better Latvia’s history. I would not skip it at all.

Really interesting tour with great knowledge of the Soviet era in the Baltic's.

It’s so nice

Emils really knows his job! Really great family stories.

A really interesting and informative experience with a clearly passionate, knowledgeable and entertaining guru.

Very informative, well presented tour slightly outside the old city enabling a difference perspective of their history

Excellent tour delivered with enthusiasm and humour with a bonus architectural info highly recommended

This was a great tour and I gained alot of knowledge from our guide over the 2 hour tour. Would recommend this tour as a background for life in Soviet Latvia.

Loved this tour. About the right amount of information to take in. Emil was an excellent guide. Would highly recommend

Artur, our guide, was a very knowledgeable person. He is a great storyteller and happy to answer all questions, giving us a lot of details and sharing stories about the architecture and the local life habits. We totally recommend this tour!

Emils’ tour was a wonderful experience. Full of information, historic and personal. He was enthusiastic, entertaining and extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer questions as we walked along. It was special how he combined the historical information with stories that happened to his family. It made the learning more realistic. Thank you Emils

Excellent, informative tour, which our guide Emil made as humorous as possible despite the tragic history. Don't miss this tour, readers!

This was a very informative and entertaining tour. The guide did it with fun and supported it with personal stories. I would definitely recommend him.

Great experience with a lot of history references

Excelente

A wonderful journey through this sensitive period of Latvian history! It really does make you think about how far we still have to go in terms of freedom and intelligent political choices

A great opportunity to look at Riga from a slightly different perspective, completely unknown to tourists. Our guide with Polish roots brought us closer not only to the places but also to the history of the Soviet occupation of Latvia. All in an interesting and engaging way. You are curious about history, it is definitely a trip for you

Experiencia muy recomendable para entender la historia reciente de Letonia y su relación en el pasado con la URSS y actualmente con Rusia. El desplazamiento a pie limita el número de edificios y entornos que se visitan, pero nuestro guía fue capaz de compensarlo con sus explicaciones.

Emails was a great tour guide, and presented his personal family history during the tour. This is going over and above in my book, because he allowed us to have an intimate look at history.

Interesting tour that gives a different perspective of history of Riga during Communist era. Recommended to learn more about Riga not just typical old town.

Richard was a brilliant tour guide. We took our 2 year old and turned up a few mins late and were still welcomed very warmly and professionally. We managed to stay for the entire tour as it coincided with nap time and then we bribed our toddler with snacks. Richard was very articulate and explained multiple view points without offending any parties involved. He was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject and drew upon his academics and real life experiences to explain the history of Riga. Thank you!
