Very nice tour with a very competent guide from the city center. It was very informative to see what the Soviet era was like in Riga, the history, the lifestyle and the monuments. The tour also included a small trip on tram to the market place which was nice to experience Latvians daily life. The guide shared with us part of her own experience and life during the Soviet times as a Latvian, and also shared with us a special black bread drink on the roofs on the Academy of science building :).

Got back from Latvia the other day and wow - Raami Travel's Soviets Ghosts of Riga was amazing. Tour operator Liga was knowledgeable and professional. She obviously knew Riga's history and culture. I was pleased with my booking and will definitely use your service again. I give my tour 5 stars. Since it was early in the season, I had a personal guide and my tour was less cumbersome and expensive than doing it myself.
