“Krista was one of the best guides I have had in this trip. She went out of the way to go more than planned parts of Jurmila town to show us the architecture of the beautiful houses there. She was very friendly sharing the history of the country. The Bog walk was incredible. We decided to go early to make it back early since the sunset was after 10:30pm. So we didn’t stay for the sunset. Nevertheless it was a fabulous visit to Kemeri National park.”

“We liked the trip very much. We started the day with a walk around the Gauja National Park, which delighted us with its views. Lunch was planned in a very nice place, and it was very tasty. Then we went towards the castle and we stopped at the viewing point. We also loved the peaceful surroundings. The trip is perfect for people who want to take a break from the noise of the city. In these few hours you can calm down and spend a nice time close to nature. The guide is a true professional. A perfectly balanced dose of knowledge and a sense of humor. We had a…”

Watch sunrise over Kemeri’s Great Bog Boardwalk on a private small-group tour from Riga, with hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide.
“The sunrise tour with Krista was amazing. The tour was perfectly timed and well worth the early morning departure. Kemeri National Park is gorgeous. Both the forest and the bog are magical to walk through. I really appreciated Krista's positive energy. It was lovely to learn more about not only the national park but Latvia as a whole. I really appreciated that she still ran the tour even though I was the only participant. It was like going for an outing with a well-informed friend.
