      Beautyful horse riding by the sea
      Despite they were quit busy Vadim manage to schedule for me last day in Riga. It was a great experience riding by the sea. The horses are looking good and well cared for and was very easy and nice to ride. Both the girl from the stable and the guide was kind to take pictures as memories. I was picked up at hotel, the stable is appr. 30 minutes drive from Riga and Vadim was nice providing information about the surroundings and also additional tip about what to see and experience in Riga. Very good experience, would for sure book again if I visit Riga in the future.

      Awesome Shooting Experience
      The pick up was exactly on time. The guide shared information regarding the history of the places we drove through. Preparation for the shooting was quick, orientation was great and a lot of nice photos to record this unique experience. Totally recommend the company and tour.

      'Riga with us' ruined my Girlfriend's Birthday
      It is now the morning of my Girlfriend's Birthday, we had booked through Viator to go Horse Riding at 11:00 with this 'company' 'Riga with us' and after having the first 2 hours of our morning wasted our with excuses of how 11:00 wouldn't work and blaming the weather, it has now been cancelled. Interactions from the start with this company have been questionable from the start. It initially showed up when I searched for horse riding at Jurmala, once booked though I looked for the exact address as we had other events booked in Jurmala and could not find 1. When I contacted the company for an exact address I was told it was not in Jurmala but in Vecāki (50 minutes away) and still I got no exact address. We rescheduled our plans in Jurmala to make the time work. Then last night (the night before our booking) I decided to contact again to get an exact location as we still had none and then the stories started. Today is blue skies and sun and the operator initially said that he could not do 11:00 as it was windy and cold. Anyone used to being out on a horse would find this a strange reason. We were then asked if we could do 10:00 to which we said yes. Then he said 13:00 at which point I called as this would not work. The operator was rude and patronising. He had no solution and hung up. He then called back and asked if 12:00 would work, we said yes and then within 10 minutes received an email from Viator saying it was cancelled. This 'company' is a sham and has just ruined our day. Company called 'Riga with us' initially offered a service that came up under Horse Riding at Jurmala, but there was no address.

      A great adrenaline kick + sightseeing tour
      Having only 48 hours in Latvia, I had to go for the most memorable experiences and this was exactly what I needed - a great adrenaline kick (3,5 g), guided tour through the only bobsleigh track in Eastern Europe and a wonderful trip in the surroundings of Riga! The guide (Vadim) was highly knowledgeable about the area, culture and lifestyle in general, which is essential when having so little time on disposal in a new part of Europe. The bobsleigh tour itself felt highly exciting and safe at the same time, as the professional driver was very experienced and routinized. Highly recommended as an experience where you both get to learn a lot and that takes your breath away, regardless if you have a month, a week or a single day in this wonderful capital!

      Amazing guide and tour!
      I’ve had a very nice experience. It was a gift for my boyfriend birthday and the guide brought a muffin and a candle to surprise which was a very nice thing to do from him :). The trip with the horses is very peaceful along the beach. They are lovely and we had amazing views and cool pictures which the guide also took during the riding.

      Nice experience
      The service was really good as the driver picked us up from our hotel and afterwards drove us where we wanted to go next. The ride was also a great experience! However, we thought that the travel time from Riga to the Bobsleigh would be around 20 minutes but it turned out to be one hour long each way so it took a lot longer than expected. So that was a bit disappointing as that information was not available at the website. Also, there could have been more information on how to prepare for the ride as we didn't know if we should wear sportwear etc.

      Reservation
      The days you can book it they are not available later. They try to change it several times on the same day after they said it was full. They try I will pay again even if I didn’t receive the refund from the first reservation.

      Amazing experience
      It was a gift from my husband for our wedding anniversary. I didn’t know where we were going and when I saw horses I was almost in tears, I love horses and it was my dream to ride horse close to the sea side! We had a wonderful time! Everything went smooth and relaxing, Thanks again for this amazing experience

      Great view of Riga
      I was driven by Vadim and guided Anastasia and it was great. She tailored the tour to my interest, she was very knowledgeable about town history and architectures. I strongly recommend it.

      Great tailored exploration of Riga
      I had the chance to be guided by Anastasia and drove by Vadim. They tailored the tour to my interests, discovering Riga's architectures, going through history, highlighting Latvia culture, religion, and politics. I strongly recommend it.
