Our Riga free walking tour is a great way for small groups or individuals to join on a tour and to make the most out of your stay in Riga.

What will you see on this awesome free tour? Well, it depends which of the themes you wish to explore. From Old Riga and its classical historical centre, to the Central Markets and Moscow district or why not discover the magic of Riga Art Nouveau architecture.
The guides who lead the free walking tours in Riga are the same high quality guides who run our paid services. We work specifically with people of academic or cultural backgrounds, those who are enthusiastic, entertaining but at the same time, fountains of knowledge. These are not tours run from a script, each guide expresses their own interests and knowledge
