Great experience!
I attended a private Tour with my girlfriend, and we loved it! You get to see the rather big central market, learn about the cultural and historical background, and taste a variety of latvian foods

Tasting Tour as it should be
Our guide Markus didn't show us not only the halls of Riga's Central Market, but let us know much of Letvian cooking and eating today.
At the end of the tour we tasted some of the very special latvians pickels, cheese, bread and drinking (non-alcoholic). Every question was welcomed and as we were only 4 guests on this tour it was realy personal and we enjoyed it very much.

Just returned from Riga last weekend, and we went on an Alternative walking tour booked through your app. We had already done the old town tour ourselves, so wanted something a little off the beaten track! What we got was a 3 hour journey through places and history we never would have made it to ourselves. Our tour guide James was welcoming and so knowledgeable, it really rounded off a great trip to a wonderful city for us so thought I'd let you guys know and say thanks!

Very recommendable!
We we're very happy with our tour - a really nice guide with a lot of knowledge of Riga/Latvias history (eventhough he wasn't very local) :-). A luxury to have him all to ourselves.
If 5 is the best rating then he shall have 5.

James was so informative!
We had a wonderful time in Riga and we really warmed to the place.
James was a fabulous guide and we thank him for his knowledge and his enthusiasm
it all made the tour so much more interesting.
I do not think the tour was quite what I expected? I think this may be because we
had visited places before (Auschwitz in Poland) as an example, so we had a pre conception which of course
was wrong. However we thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and seeing how very different
the buildings are and the area, also the wonderful commentary from James.
