Summary:
It was an unforgettable experience. We were picked up from the hotel in Riga on time, our driver, Sintija, was very personable and friendly. The drive to Sigulda took about 50 minutes. The experience with the Olympic bobsleigh was unique and definitely recommended!

Summary:
Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Just one thing I would do differently… after a long time of driving one quick trip down the bobsled track was too fast. Really should have been at least two trips down. Would have made it more worthwhile and entertaining. The first ride to know what to expect and the second to enjoy.
