It was definitely worth the time and money. Erlens is fluent in English and took his time to walk us through highlights of Riga at a good pace. We saw more than we ever did before. Thank you Erlens for an amazing time and your attention to detail. Thank you for prompt pick up at the hotel and drop off. We will absolutely recommend this tour!”
