We had a lovely time walking to the market and devouring some unique Latvian food. A great addition to the tour was stopping at the National Library too. A great time. Great food tour and history

We had an amazing afternoon with Margita! The food she selected was varied and delicious. On top of learning about the food culture of Riga and Latvia she gave us many insights into the history, architecture and culture of the country. She also gave us many recommendations of restaurants to try and places to visit which made our trip so much more special!An amazing afternoon

Margita was very personable - we enjoyed our time together. The information she shared with us gave us a great overview for our short stay in Riga. We loved the wide boulevards and the Christmas Market still in operation during our stay. We were able to wander around looking at some of the museums she suggested. The art nouveau recommendation was perfect. A great "taste" of Riga

Margita is an excellent guide with a great knowledge of her home city Riga, historically as well as contemporary. She has a good feeling of which areas, buildings, shops, spotlights are of interest for her guests. We achieved a very good impression of a wonderful city in a 3 hour walk. Thank you, Margita for this exceptional experience!Best of Riga

Margita is such a good guide. She really loves Riga and is eager to show the hidden gems of this beautiful city. It was the second time I booked her and it felt like coming back to a friend.What a wonderful tour in the rain

We did two tours with Margita in Riga—The 10 Tastings of Riga and Highlights & Hidden Gems of Riga—on consecutive days, and both were excellent! Margita has incredible knowledge of Riga, showing us all the highlights of Old Town and the Art Nouveau neighborhoods while sharing fascinating insights. Her English is excellent, and her passion for her city really shines through. The tasting tour was a highlight—stopping at spots like Lido in Old Town and exploring the market, where Margita picked out local foods to create a delightful picnic for us. It was a fun and unique way to experience Riga’s food culture. Margita has lived in Riga her entire life, and her deep connection to the city makes her tours truly special. I highly recommend booking with her for an engaging and memorable experience!Fantastic Tours with Margita

We had a pleasant time with our guide in the market and seeing the sights of Riga. She was pleasant, seemed knowledgeable and experienced, and proud of her city. However, we felt that the value of the food purchased at the market was not worth the price paid for the tour (bread, cheese, berries, pastry, smoked meat, and one small beer).Pleasant but pricey
