A real professional
We were a group of friends and spent really high quality 3 hours with Janis. He has a lot of nice and detailed information about the city that impressed all of us. It is obvious that he likes what he is doing. Moreover, he attracted all of our attention during the tour with cool and funny stories about the city.

Most intersting and also entertaining.
Janis was knowledgeable, funny, even witty and over two hours informed us about historic facts, the electoral system, current affairs, but he also mentioned details a normal tourist would not discover and even gave personal advice concerning nice bars and good restaurants.

We enjoyed our tour of Riga with Janis. He was very knowledgable of the history and buildings of Riga. He was a joy to be with and gave us many recommendations for restaurants and other things to see. We would definitely do another tour with him when we go back, and we plan to go back to that beautiful city!

Janis Delivers!!
Janis was waiting for us at the agreed upon meeting spot. He immediately told us what he had planned for our tour and asked if it was alright. Openly answered all of our questions about Latvia and their relationship with Russia today. Would recommend him to other Riga visitors.

About local
very nice and competent guide
Janis doesn’t only know about all the historical background facts you need to know when looking at the great old buildings of the old part of town, but he also showed us cute places like hidden cafés and restaurants which we would never have found. He also recommended current events that are worth to be visited.
