Explore Riga’s medieval Old Town with a local guide, visiting St Peter’s Church, Dome Cathedral, Swedish Gate, and more.

“We absolutely lucked-out with a terrific guide Marija who was so passionate about her city, she filled you with her enthusiasm and thus you just loved the city. She had terrific historical background information, knew her history and led us around parts of the city we never would have known about had we not signed up for this tour. Furthermore, she advised us on additional things to see/do during our stay for which we will be forever thankful. It made our visit to Riga, and we would happily suggest anyone visiting take a walking tour of the old town. It absolutely brings it to life!”

Explore Riga Old Town with Lina, from medieval legends and hidden passages to Black Balsam, guilds, churches, and Soviet-era memory.

“Lina is an amazing tour guide and this tour is a must if it is your first, or even second time in Riga. Lina had a wealth of historical information intertwined with some good stories and showed us many places that we would never find on our own. She had some great food and other sightseeing recommendations and was very generous with her time on the tour. We could not recommend Lina enough!”
