Summary:
This is a great short introductory walking tour of the key sites/sights in Riga. Met at hotel
by delightful guide Valentina, who was both personable and very knowledgable of the history, culture and current affairs of Riga and Latvia. Blessed with a dry, sunny day, this was a nicely paced introduction tour from which to base your future time and visits in the old town of Riga. Highly recommend this tour and Valentina.

Summary:
This was a case of the guide turning a run-of-the mill tour into something more. Valentina's knowledge (and love) of the city made this tour great. It was a great introduction to the city and the country for our first full day in Riga. We paired it with the Art Nouveau tour and were lucky enough to have Valentina for both. She gave us two hours on hour own for lunch then met us again for the second tour. It was a great day in Riga topped off with an evening at the Christmas Market.
