          Unforgettable, precious experience in Latvia
          I had a wonderful day with Rihards from Discover Latvia Tours in September. As I was traveling alone, he had planned and personalized the Baltic Sea Coast and Jūrmala Seaside Resort Tour according to my interests and physical fitness. Rihards has a deep knowledge and insight into Latvian history, nature (flora and fauna, especially birds, insects, trees, mushrooms, etc.), and various modern statistics, and I learned a lot by the end of the day touring the forests, lakeshores, and coastline of beautiful Latvia with him. I would highly recommend this tour to people of all ages and with a variety of interests.

          Great trip to Latvia
          Great experience! Rihards from Latvia Tours dedicates himself a whole day to give his Latvia visitors the time of their life, discovering the beautiful surroundings and the magnificent nature of Latvia's national park, the bogs and Jurmala. Perfect way to discover places you usually don't discover, being a lone tourist without perfect guidance from someone like Rihards.

          Must Do in Latvia!
          Rihards and Discover Latvia are the best tour group in Latvia! My mom and I were interested in doing a tour of Sigulda, Turaida, and Cēsis and spent a lot of time looking at different options before landing on Discover Latvia which we chose both based on price and the fact that it did all three cities. Rihards was incredibly communicative in terms of booking on the front end which made us feel even better about our choice. The tour itself was absolutely excellent, giving us a great feel of each of the places we visited and a better understanding of Latvia as a whole. We got to visit all three castles as well as Gutman's cave, and there were additional stops along the way that enhanced our tour even more. My mom and I cannot say enough good things about Rihards and Discover Latvia and encourage anyone and everyone who visits Latvia to book a tour!

          Great day with Rihards
          I booked a private one day tour tour with Rihards and it was great experience. We went searching for wildlife in Kemeri National park; taking the bog trail, visiting the seaside at Lapmezciems beach and other places. Rihards is very good company and knows a lot about the history of Latvia.

          Excellent Way to Experience the Baltics countryside
          We booked Discover Latvia Tours for both our transfer from Tallinn to Riga, via Parnu, Along the Seaside, and from Riga to Vilnius, via Rundale Palace and Hill of Crosses. Both times we had Rihards as our driver. He was incredibly professional, courteous, kind, and regaled us with many interesting stories about the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian people, their relationships with each other, with the land, their histories, food, and culture. The stops we had along the way were interesting and he always offered to tailor stops to our needs. We probably would not have seen these places if not for this tour and certainly would not have learned so much about the Baltics! I would definitely recommend Discover Latvia Tours for anyone travelling to the Baltic States.

          Bog Boardwalk in Kemeri National Park and Baltic Seaside Tour & Tour to Sigulda
          Due to the lack of snow the Huskie Ride was cancelled. We were disappointed, but Rihards rearraigned everything for us. Both tours were outstanding , to be able to witness the beauty of Latvia remains with us. Rihards was outstanding as a guide and so helpful, we cant thank him enough for making our Latvia trip so memorable.

          Unforgettable experience and a great tour guide!
          Unforgettable experience, definitely worth the price! We had a great tour guide Rihards who picked us up in Riga and gave us a lot of info, not only about the dog sledding, but about Latvia in general. We had plenty of time and were not rushed. The whole experience was as described in the offer, and even better. If you love dogs, just go ahead and book this activity - you will not regret it!

          Amazing experience
          Amazing tours with Rihards. He collected us from our accommodation and took us into the forest where we had a very memorable ride with the dogs as well a walk through the forest in the snow. Rihards was very knowledgeable and would have no hesitation recommending or booking again.

          3 km Dog Sledding
          If you are thinking about booking this activity, just do it and you won't be disappointed. Whilst the dog sledding is the highlight of the tour, it offers so much more. It is a wonderful way to spend a few hours and all the photos that you are sent after are an added bonus. Thank you Rihards.

          Brilliant Husky Experience
          Hiya Rihard, we thank you so much for our Husky experience on Saturday 9thDec. It was a real joy to see the dogs and drive the sleds, it was an experience we will always remember. We also loved the walk we did with you after and the climb to the viewing tower. Was all fantastic and would recommend it to others.

          Husky ride through the snow.
          A beautiful experience. Rihard picked us up from our hotel. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. It was a winter wonderland when we got to the destination after about 45 mins ride out of Riga. The Husky dogs were friendly and obedient. They are well cared for by the Handlers. We went for A scenic walk to the watch tower first and then had a lesson in mushing for the sleigh ride. It was a really great day and a highlight of our trip to Riga.

        They made it easy to organize a customized day tour. Excellent communication leading up to our event.
        Met us shipside. Could have told us to meet them outside the port, but Rihards went the extra mile and sought out permission to come into the port to meet us right off the gang way. Made it so much easier.
        Rihards Was an excellent guide. Had a lot of information and folklore to share with us during the entire day. Took us to all the requested stops and added in a few more as time allowed.
        Absolutely recommend this company for your tour needs.
