Explore Riga by bike, from Old Town and the Daugava to the Moscow District, Art Nouveau streets, parks, and the Freedom Monument.
“I had a great time exploring the Moscow District on this unique tour. I was lucky enough to be the only one booked in for the bike tour with Arseny, my own private tour. He was a great guide and i had opportunity to find out about the city in depth and ask all the questions. Arseny made me feel comfortable and I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company.”

Review of the 5.5-hour Hill of Crosses tour from Riga, with border stop, small-group transport, guide tips, timing, and honest value advice.
“Fantastic experience with our guide Viesturs - was very happy to answer our questions. The hill of crosses was interesting, Viesturs also offered other stops if we were interested in them which was nice. It is 1hr30-1hr40 in one direction on a very straight, uninteresting road, but Viesturs kept up entertained throughout.”

Race through Latvian forests with a husky team from Riga, then warm up with hot drinks and a snowy nature walk.
“Just over an hours travel from Riga, picked up from our hotel. No snow but that wasn’t a problem we rode on a cart. There were 10 of us each couple got to ride their own cart but only one cart. The dogs were amazing and I can reassuringly say not mistreated or exploited. This family use their dogs to enter competitions. The keen ones get to pull and the ones that are having an off day just stay with the pack. Lots of conversation with the wife while the husband follows you on a bike for safety. To be honest the dogs know what they are doing I just…”

Travel from Riga to Vilnius with stops at Bauska Castle, Rundale Palace, and Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses in one practical day trip.
“This tour is a brilliant way to travel from Riga to Vilnius whilst seeing more of Lativa and Lithuania. All 3 of the stops were really interesting and worth a visit. Our guide for the day, Andrew, was another story. All day he was aggressive, condecending and quite frankly rude. The atmosphere was uncomfortable all day and was run like a military operation. You were told where to sit, and were told he would open the boot only once to get out any stuff you needed. He was very strict on timings, accusing a girl of being late when she was on time. He clearly doesn't enjoy the job and…”
See Riga’s Art Nouveau streets, Central Market, parks, and Soviet-era landmarks on a guided 2.5-hour city bike tour.
“Great bike tour, we went all around the city, and really saw a lot in the 2.5 hours. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and enjoyable, and his English was very good. I really liked the earpiece so that we could ride our bikes while hearing him point out places and share bits of information, in between the stops we made. I also liked that he didn’t go too slow on the bikes, so we could actually enjoy riding a bike. I definitely recommend this tour!”

Our guide, Maria, was absolutely incredible, very talkative and friendly, gave us very interesting information about the history of the castles and the area, as well as the broader history of Latvia. Also, enjoyed visiting the bobsleigh court.”
Review of Riga’s Hill of Crosses and Jelgava tour, with border photos, Orthodox cathedral, transport, timing, price, and booking advice.
“It was very enjoyable. It’s quite a long drive in a minivan but it’s ok. Our tour guide Tomas was very friendly and informative. We also stopped at the border and one other stop to look at the cathedral- that was a nice extra. The hill is really a mount not a hill but out guide warned us. Well worth the trip.”
Pick a street, a castle or a bog.
