Riga tours, things to do and tickets

Riga Old town walking tour runs every day at 10.30! It is ALL in ONE TOUR concept, with true local stories on Riga's and Latvia's history, introduction to art nouveau architecture, local food guidance, and tips on what else to explore in Riga! Welcome to join us - it will be both - informative and fun.

Our Daily Bike Tours at 15:00 explore the historic suburbs of Riga, covering the most interesting sections of Riga.

The bike tour rides along the river before entering the Moscow district. The area which became the Jewish ghetto during WWII is one of the most interesting areas in Riga. We then explore the trendy Central district to find some nice bars and cafes and street art.

These tours ride off the tourist route, showing a different, more realistic side of Riga, from the comfortable saddle of a city bike.
