We had a very pleasant walking tour with Santa through the Art Nouveau district. She did a good job of categorizing and describing what we were seeing and helped to put it in historical perspective. She did such a good job that the rest of our stay in Riga we were looking for more A.N. and recognizing the different categories she discussed. Excellent tour. On time. Highly recommended.
