Our guide, Erlens, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He not only knew a lot about the towns and destinations but was a great conversationalist about everyday life as well.
The trip was just the right amount of time 9am-2pm and we had direct hotel pickup and drop off.
The castles, caves, and small towns we visited were beautiful and it was great to see parts of Latvia outside of Riga city center. Erlens also provided great recommendations for other things to do and places to eat for the duration of our stay.
One of the best tours we’ve done; highly recommend!
