With great pleasure, I am ready to show you my native and beloved city - Riga. Particularly the Old City. I love to communicate with people from other countries and share my impressions of the beauty of my hometown. History has been my passion since childhood, I have been studying it all my life. In addition to the completed courses of the guide, I received a master's degree in history, and I have experience in guiding tours.

It is my great pleasure to show you the remarkable wonders of Art Nouveau architecture in the city of Riga. Riga is considered one of the world’s capitals of Art Nouveau architecture and continues to amaze visitors with its charm and beauty.
