We loved our day visit to Sigulda. It was around an hour by train from Riga. Such a pretty town, spotlessly clean and very quiet in Feb but plenty to see and do. The Lutheran Church looked a picture infront of the frozen pond with clear blue skies above. The Livonian Castle was interesting with great views across the valley to Krimulda Manor and Turaida Castle. Plenty of places to get lunch and a drink. One of the prettiest railway stations I have seen and lovely and warm whilst we waited for the train home. If you want to go outside of Riga this is a great choice.

Absolutely incredible tour by visiting two castles, Segulda and Turaida on December 17 with Valdis. Even during the Covid timing the tour was magnificent to learn more about history of this incredible and lovely country. Valdis was knowledgable, friendly and lovely. The tour started with ruins of Segulda castle and finished with visiting Turaida. This time of the year with less people and some uncertainties it was magical to wonder around the castles in more tranquil environment and learn more about history of Latvia. Thank you very very much.

We had a lot of private guides in our holidays around the world, in almost 20 countries and every time we had at least two or three of them. Harijs, our today's guide, was for sure one of the best. Warm, friendly, even thrilled to show us Riga and to explain us a lot of very interesting stories and anecdotes. Four and half hours passed in a while. He speaks a perfect English and was always helpful to answer a lot of questions. If you are a family o a small group of friends, Harijs is the perfect guide to introduce you to Riga beauties. Thank you for your comprehensive and professional job!
