Outstanding tour. Erlens was a fantastic guide and we thoroughly enjoyed this day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Riga and Latvia in general. Erlens didn’t just follow a script; he was engaging and answered our questions with thoughtful, honest responses.

I booked my private grand Riga city tour through Latvia Guide Tours as I was having problems trying to book a private tour. I was lucky enough to find this webpage and emailed Erlens and he was able to help me. He organised a driver and tour guide. I explained to him that I had mobility issues and could he advise the people conducting the tour. What a wonderful time I had as Victoria and Julia couldn't do enough for me making sure I was OK. They took me to the most wonderful places and Victoria gave me a full history of the places we visited. If you want a wonderful tour or private tour I would recommend Latvia Guide Tours, you will not be disappointed as they go out of their way to make sure see the tourist sites and take really good care of you.
