About
Old Town is the heart of Riga. However, not all the places of it are shown to the tourists. There are many fascinating points, corners, and streets that even the locals would be surprised! You will discover the different face of Riga. You will hear fascinating facts and stories. Who and why hated the sculpture of the black cat in Riga? Why did Latvians put the golden roosters instead of the crosses on the church towers? Did you know that Latvian women are the tallest?! Why the world has to be thankful to Riga for Christmas tree decorating tradition?

- markomX8055OH0 contributionsA delightful and unique experience for wine enthusiastsWe saw and learnt how the winemaking process goes in Latvia. During the tasting sessions, we personally experienced how some of these Latvian wines differ from classic grape wines. This is a delightful and unique experience for wine enthusiasts.Written 7 March 2024

- arewehavingfunyet40 contributionsPlease read before booking!I should have questioned why this had no reviews. I’m sure people who booked it on Viator don’t know the can review it here. Please save yourself the hideous amount of money this costs -283.00 US dollars -as you will be so disappointed and you have no recourse. This is presented by opatrip.com as a 2 hours wine tasting with professionals that know about wine. They say there will be snacks and a dungeon etc. none of it is true except you will taste 7 wines. 5 of which you can go there yourself and try for 10 US dollars as advertised on the chalkboard. The other 2 are at a bar served by a girl with absolutely zero wine knowledge. No snacks no dungeon no k Pelegrín of wines…A person brings you there and taps about what they think is important in Riga…not interested-I booked a Latvian wine tour not a city tour-already did that. So when I complained they offered me a beer to compensate and told me it was my fault because I was 15 minutes late. Really? That didn’t change the blatant false advertising and to add insult to it. They marked my booking as canceled on Viator do I can’t leave a review. This company OPATRIP. Com is as shady as they come. I encourage you not to waste your time or money on anything to do with this company. They have treated me very very badly.Written 20 October 2023
- rhiannonk2850 contributionsWe saw the biggest market of LatviaThe tour guide enlightened us about the lifestyle of Latvia. The biggest market of Latvia was interesting with so many products and we purchased a few products. Riga Central Market has almost anything one can think of. We also ate a delicious local Latvian food dish made from fish. My family enjoyed this tour.Written 25 September 2023
- bdatraveller4fun0 contributionsCulture and historyThe guide was very informative and gave us a wonderful history of Riga and the Central Market. The tour was very fast paced and felt a little rushed at times. Also after the first stop we had to tell him it was too much food and could he ask for less as it seemed a lot of food was going to waste. Also when we didn’t like something at times he felt offended which as a guide he should not have shown our group. There was also some confusion about the tip in the end which we felt bad about. In our confirmation email it would have been nice to advise us what was customary.Written 3 August 2022

We visited areas out of Old Riga and Riga Central Market. I asked the tour guide a lot of questions, to learn more about the foundation and history of Riga. The tour guide was so patient and kind enough to give me all that information and I appreciate it. This tour also covered the Latvian National Opera, Laima Clock, Bastejkalns Park and a few other places. Overall, we enjoyed this tour of wonderful Riga.
