I am specializing in private tours for individuals and small groups in Riga and Latvia. Key of my tours is the small groups where we can personalize, adjust to your every wish. In large groups, it is not possible. My aim is that you leave Riga or Latvia satisfied, excited and fully understanding it regardless was it a 3-hour tour or 2 days with me.
I describe myself as educated and open-minded person. I love my family, history, innovation, science, cryptocurrencies, politics, sports, art, travelling and a lot more.
I love to share my opinion about life in Latvia, Riga because only from locals you can get the best point of view! Currently, I am living in Riga but have been born in the countryside (150 km from capital) and visited a lot of countries around Europe. I am half-blooded – father Moldovian, mother Latvian from eastern Latvia that has their own dialect. I would say that I have experienced and still living in a colorful life where east meets west and future meets the past.
I am flexible and opened for different tours according to my guests' wishes. For example Riga running tour, beer tour.
Usually, if the group is between (1-4 people) I offer tours by car. If you are more in the group, it is also possible to organize a minivan or a bus.

We will then explore the left bank of Riga where you'll have the chance to see small wooden houses, the controversial Victory Park, Old Riga Airport and the old train station which is steeped in history.
During the tour you will hear many fascinating stories about the history of Latvia as well as fun and quirky facts. For example, did you know that the man who invented modern jeans was Latvian?
