This is an excellent day out which is fascinating - particularly so if you are interested in military or cold war history - and allows you to access two previously secret Soviet Latvian facilities.
We were picked up from our hotel which was very convenient given it was an 8am (due to the distances travelled over the course of the day).
Our driver and guide, Martins, was brilliant. He was very informative, very friendly, very accommodating and, of course, a very good driver. Martins also acted as our guide around the former missile base and was very patient with our constant questions and photo stops! He is a great ambassador for his employers. He also took us to an excellent country restaurant for lunch - great food and great value.
Our guide around the underground bunker, Regina, was also excellent. She was full of information and had a great sense of humour.
Our party on this trip consisted of 4 adults so I thought the cost per person represented good value.
