- SimSimone1200Great service!Our driver was on time, helped with our luggages and off we went. Drive to Tallinn was great, we had a nice conversation with the driver, he stopped for us at the seaside and for coffee. Definitely great service!
- Getaway6131736112200Riga Latvia to Vilnius Lithuania via Hill of CrossesKarlis our driver-guide met my wife and I at our hotel in Riga. He was punctual and prompt in meeting our needs. He has extensive knowledge of the places we visited and we enjoyed his sharing of the history of both Latvia and Lithuania. He made our trip so much more memorable and special.
- Christine A00A personalized and professionalized transfer for your money’s worthMy husband and I got a first hand experience of a very professionalized treatment by this tour transfer who did not just bring us to Vilnius safety and on time but also to three different stops in between. The car was clean and so was the driver who was well dressed and well mannered. The driver never took advantage of us . If I had another chance of coming back to this part of Europe , I will definitely contact them. I will also definitely recommend them to friends for their services…… By the way they can even assist you with your tour around Europe☺️
- Gary T00Kurt was very nice and helpful.Kurt was very friendly. We were the only people sign up, thus we have a private tour/transfer. Wish we would have stay longer in Cesis. Cesis was our highlight of the 4 places that we visited.
- David_842300Reliable and efficient transfer service in RigaWe needed an early morning (5AM) transfer from Old Town Riga to Riga Airport. There were just two of us, but we had many large suitcases so were a bit worried that a normal taxi or Bolt driver would not be sufficient. Baltic Transfers and Tours was recommended to us and turned out to be the perfect answer. Setting up the pickup was easy with immediate response to questions followed by email confirmation. The driver arrived 15 minutes early, which was helpful because of the extra bags. The driver was pleasant and polite, and even helped us get two trolleys at the airport for the many suitcases. I highly recommend this service.
- alisonhC2436MR00Fantastic tour!We had an enjoyable and informative tour with Aldis as our driver and guide. An experience not to be missed!
- ptirichyrich00Great Driver, very friendly and knowledgeableOur driver for the day was very friendly and provided us with great local knowledge. He was on time, a great driver and the car was very clean. Highly recommend.
- hamitaf00Great tour outside the cityWe enjoyed the tour. From the pick up from our hotel it was already professional with the ipad having our names on it until the drop off. Carlos was nice and told us information about the city. He even gave us a mini city tour which we appreciated a lot. The castles are a must see for those who are into history. Rundale Palace is a bit big but there is an option to do the short circle tour which doesn't include the gardens. You can see the gardens from the windows anyway so we didn't choose this. Also the weather didn't help as it was raining and snowing. We had our ljnch in the Palace too, there was a restaurant. Overall I recommend this tour and hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.
- KellyKayaPaul00Great Day OutMy guide Martynas was polite, friendly, professional, a careful driver and exceptionally knowledgeable about Latvia's history. He explained each venue on the way and was able to answer all my questions. Huge advantage of going in the low season (November in my case) was that I was the only person touring around all three venues!
- Elcowen7500Siguida trip.A great historical place to visit and you can climb the steep and narrow staircase to the top of the tower for wonderful panoramic views or the whole area itself
- oldleftcoastdude00Looking for history of the Baltic statesMartin, our driver and guide was a young man with a lot of knowledge of the history of the Baltic states. He was eager to answer any questions we had. On this trip, it was only my husband and I so it was a very personal trip. The guide escorted us to the entrance of each place we visited and made sure that we knew how to get to the car. We had a certain amount of time at each site but we were able to adjust based on our personal interest. We recommend this trip and hopefully you will get Martin as your guide.
- Jane S00Half day trip to SiguldaWe were very fortunate to have our own personal driver who couldn’t have been more helpful and courteous. The only down side was that there was a long way to travel and a lot to see and do in half a day. Would recommend this tour over a full day.
- Selga5500Trip to SiguldaThis was an excellent day out to Sigulda to see the two main fortress sites. Driver was on time, very informative and he timed the day to suit what I wanted to do. Simply a great day made all the better by a friendly attentive driver.
- YO_LOOK_AT_ME00Great Visit to the Palaces and CastleExceptional experience; the vendor was in constant communication with me prior to my arrival and my driver, Raivis was very punctual, arriving exactly on time. He was very friendly, professional and communicative. As mentioned in other feedback, you are pretty much hiring someone to drive you to these locations. If the driver may/may not have additional information, etc., they can share with you regarding the locations you'll visit, but I suspect not always. Our first stop was to visit Mezotne Palace, followed by a visit to Bauska Castle and then the finale, Rundale Palace. Each location had its own interesting aspects and history to explore. Rundale Palace felt a bit like visiting a mini Versailles; Raivis recommended I take the "long tour" and it didn't disappoint. Raivis allowed me to pretty much take my time on touring each location and I never felt rushed. I would definitely recommend him and this tour for those wanting to get away from the city and experience a bit of the countryside.
- Pradipta B00Good because of our guide Krista and AvaRundale palace was nice though not overwhelming. Sigulda was nice too. However, these visits were made memorable because of our guides Ava and Krista of Red Fox tours.

This was a disaster from start to finish. The driver arrived 30 minutes late in a van with dirty windows, no Wi-Fi, no water, and did not speak one word of English. Once on the road, he drove 138 km an hour with a speed limit of 110kph. It took my husband some time to communicate to him while he was driving that we wanted him to slow down. We didn’t even see Sigulda because we couldn’t understand where it was. It just seemed to be a reconstruction of an old farm. This was in no way a tour since it was impossible to communicate with the driver. II would like my money back.

Dear Carol, Just admit that you wanted to scam your money back for the service you have received.
Our driver that provided this service for you works with us for more then two years, he speaks good English, never has dirty car and there is always water in the vehicles. So what you are writing here is a lie.
I hope that honest customers will read this reply and understand nonsence of your review that was put up here just to scam your money back. Shame on you.
Kind regards,
Karlis Blums

This tour was great because Mr Heincis was a great guy and great tour guide. Also it’s amazing to just tell him where you wanna go and pick the spots that you are I interested in. He told us a lot about Latvia and much more, but we had our space when we wanted to explore something. Big thanks again and good luck for the future!

We had a great tour around cesis, sigulda and turaida. Aldis was amazing! He was informative and was very enthusiastic until the end of the trip. He was sweet and sees to it that we were comfortable.. Knows a lot of local places to try and tajes, a lot of pictures, too! I recommend this hassle free day trip.. 👌👌

A nice tour. As we did not want to take a risk because of the situation around Covid-19, we (2 persons) booked this private tour in July 2020. We were picked up in front of our hotel, were driven to the different sights one after the other and then brought back to the hotel in Riga. Everything worked out fine, so I can recommend this tour. Our tour guide did not accompany us inside the different castles, but he instructed us well before. First we were surprised that we still had to pay all entrance fees separately. But after the tour, this was clear to us: beside the sightseeings we visited, there was a choice of different other options. Only during the trip we decided together with the guide which places we would visit, in which order and which options we would better leave out. It was indeed good that an individual arrangement was possible. Beside the three prominent castles we visited the beautiful Āraiši windmill and also the "permanent exhibition on the resistance of the people of the Cēsis Region to the Soviet and Nazi occupations from 1939 until 1957". The guide told and explained (good English, easy to understand) a lot during the trip, focusing on political and historical aspects.

We had an excellent guide Karlis who was passionate about Latvia. We learnt about the country, culture.
He was very flexible in the itinerary and we were able to re route to see the White Dune which was a worth while detour. Price was reasonable.
We recommend booking Karlis when you are next in Riga

Normanse was a good companion and guide, very personable and knowledgeable. One of the sites was closed for repairs so he adjusted according to what I wanted to do.

Not particularly interesting. I would not recommend. There is one castle and not much else besides the woods.

Dear Emil,
Please let us know on what date did you had this day trip. Can't find any bookings on your name. Need to understand which driver was driving you.
Regards this full day trip, we always visit all three castles (Cesis, Turaida and Sigulda) as described in this product. If clients go thru castles rapidly and there is spare time, our drivers will always add additional sights to fill in the time and will advice best local restaurants for lunch.
Hope to receive more feedback from You regards our service to understand why you have submited this negative rating for us.
Kind regards,
Karlis Blums
