Thousands of Happy Customers

"a tour, which i strongly recommend".

A very interesting tour, with a magnificient guide (Laura)! All the more so considering that it provides best value for money!

"Great tour from Riga to Vilnius"

Tour guide was very enthusiastic and fun. Stopped at interesting places, we had enough free time at each stop. Laura gave us a quick over view/history about each of the places we visited. Only 4 people on the tour so nice small group.

"Unforgettable tour with an amazing tour guide"

Mikelis gave us a pleasant drive to Kaunas following with Hill of Crosses and Rundāle palace. The city, Kaunas, definitely is worth a visit. The walk is easy and relaxed. Mikelis adjusted to our pace and left us time to shop or have a coffee break to slow down if we need to. We are lucky to have Mikelis - He is very engaging, calm and accommodative. He shared with us the interesting details about life in Latvia. We enjoyed every second of this highly interesting tour.

"Excellent way of travel from Riga to Tallinn"

We booked a private tours for my parents (in their 60s) and I to travel from Vilnius - Riga - Tallinn. We took the Vilnius - Riga tour first, then this tour Riga - Tallinn. Our tour guide for this tour was Mike, he was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable at the locations we visited. The trip was such a great experience, I'd highly recommend this to anyone. Zero complain.

"Beautiful Gauja"

We had the pleasure to be shown around the Gauja nationalpark area by our guide Mikelis. Also, we were lucky enough to visit the Gauja river when no one else was there - truly magical! Can only recommend!

"A fun and interesting way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

We were a group of eight friends who decided to use this tour to get to Riga. It was a great decision. We got to visit the town of Kaunas that we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The stop at the Hill of Crosses was both eerie and interesting. We were then lucky to have the most beautiful light when we got to Rundale Palace. Because we travelled in the very late Autumn, the days were short and saw the most beautiful sunset there. Laura, our guide, was enthusiastic and gave a fantastic energy to the whole tour and agreed without hesitation to try to see Salsapils in pitch darkness. Thanks to one of our friend’s strong photography lighting we got to experience this place in a very different way. It was intensely emotional. All in all, we had fun and saw so much more than we would otherwise. For a great price. Thank you!

"Informative, scenic and well managed."

Anna was welcoming, warm and clear. The long tour had a good balance of traveling, walking, history and explanation. The meal stop was memorable. We learned a huge amount about Latvia and Estonia during the day.

"THE BEST TOUR EVER!!!"

Ahhhh.. I couldn’t exactly put into words how happy and contented we are. It was an AMAZING tour with LAWWWWRA (Laura)! She’s amazing 😉 There are no dull moments at all. She’s informative, energetic, friendly and obviously witty (Oh, and a great singer,too! 😉) We travelled for about 11 and half hours with 5 stops including the lunch and I will tell you guys, paying 65€ for a full day tour is all worth it!! I highly recommend this tour. Good job,guys! Til next time!

"Flexible and informative"

We were met by our guide, Beatrice, who was welcoming and relaxed. She gave a good overview of the tour, assisted with the stowage of the luggage and got us underway promptly. We visited several places of historical interest, where just the right amount of information was given. The group followed Beatrice's lead and relaxed and joked happily together for the day. Her love of country and delightful personality made the rather long day a very pleasant and informative time for us. Highly recommended tour.

"Very Worth It!"

Mike was a fun tour guide and had a ton of knowledge about the history of the Baltics. He told a lot of jokes and even sang multiple times in Latvian for us. I was surprised at how quickly the 9 hour day went. All the stops were really interesting, with a good mix of city and nature. This tour was a good chance for us to visit places that we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise and we had a great time getting to know our fellow travellers. I would highly recommend this sightseeing tour, especially with Mike as your guide!

"It’s the way to go"

Loved this tour. Mike made it so much fun with his lively commentary, his love of the region, and his own enjoyment in being with us. I enjoyed each activity. And it was well-paced. The 9 hours flew by and I felt no fatigue. Enjoyed the others as well. Excellent value for the money too. Thank you so much.

"Really nice venturing off the beaten path near Jurmala!"

We liked this tour because it took us to hidden spots we never could have located on our own. Our guide Anna was so knowledgeable and could answer all our questions about Latvia, especially about history! We enjoyed the mix of contemporary culture, abandoned Soviet era buildings and the nature of the sea and the forest in the national parks. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to be surprised by many sights that are not too far from Riga!

"My Lithuanian Ancestry"

Our guide was excellent in every way. She was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and helped us feel at ease so that we could really enjoy our journey. A great day. Many thanks. Ervin

"The perfect way to see the Baltics!"

Cheaper than flying and you see everything you didn’t know you wanted to along the way - can’t recommend it enough, the guides were really just awesome people - felt like a road trip with friends.

"Fantastic Tours"

We took the 12 hour trips between Tallinn and Riga and then between Riga and Vilnius. Both days were enjoyable and informative with excellent guides Olga and Triin. Whether stopping at historic castles, nature parks, monuments and museums, or even for lunch, our guides enthusiastically shared local folklore, personal stories, and knowledge of the Baltics. Seeing a little more of the Baltic countries outside of the capitals was a refreshing change as it is mostly gorgeous countryside with farms, forests, wildflowers, and storks! Don't look at any other tour operator because with Traveller Tours you've found the best!

"Very good tours with good guides"

In June I made three tours, Riga-Tallinn, Lahemaa National Park and Riga-Vilnius. I can recommend all three tours, they were really interesting and we saw a lot of things I didn´t read in a travelguide. Especially Riga-Vilnius was very interesting and we saw a lot interesting places. The staff is very helpful, Isabel answered all my mails very quickly. And Triin is an awesome tour guide. She told the history of Estonia very emotional with a very private character and she told us examples from her own family about the suffering time before Independence. The guides of the other tours were also good, but Triin was phenomenal.

This was a great tour and our tour guide was a hero. She answered any questions we had, and was very friendly. I don't usually leave reviews, but I couldn't help but share my great experience on this tour with this company. We heard about them in Tallinn and did the Free walking tour there as well and decided to see some Latvia also.

"Definitely do that tour in Riga"

I took one of their first Riga tours to Jurmala. The guide was really fun and the tour was awesome. She took us to a huge beautiful sand dune next to a river and showed around in Jurmala. The old wooden houses are so romantic and the abandoned area of Jurmala called Kemeri had mysterious park. And the bog walk was amazing. Definitely do that tour if you get to Riga. Jurmala is quite close, but It is difficult to find these places on your own.

Riga Sightseeing: The Best Tours & Day Trips in Riga, Latvia

Bordered by Lithuania to the south, Estonia to the north, and giant Russia to the east, the Republic of Latvia , or just Latvia as it is more commonly known, is home to just 2 million inhabitants. But don’t let its small population fool you, this small Baltic nation is full of charming towns, old castles, intriguing history, and beautiful landscapes.

We always love exploring on our own, but when arriving in a new country, a guided tour can be a great way to get the lay of the land quickly. And since Latvia is a relatively small country, many of the highlights are easily accessible via day trips from its capital city, Riga . A guided tour is also perfect if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of renting a car and driving in a foreign country.

Check out our list of the top Riga tours and excursions so you can experience the best of the city and the surrounding Latvian countryside even if you’re short on time.

Don’t forget to check out our web story: The Best Tours & Day Trips in Riga

How to Book Tours in Latvia

While there are several travel agencies around Riga, we always prefer to book our tours online. GetYourGuide is one of the best sites for booking tours and excursions and we always use it when we travel through Europe. The site allows users to see all of the available Riga tours and excursions, as well as ratings by fellow travelers. We find this type of crowd-sourced knowledge to be superior to what you’ll get from a local tour agency.

Like Latvia, the guided tours in Riga are diverse, historic, educative, and natural. And guided tours offer you the ability to gain interesting historical and cultural information, meet and socialize with new people, or simply save time with hassle-free traveling. Good luck!

Riga, Latvia: The Best Tours and Excursions

1. explore riga’s historic old town.

When it comes to Europe, one of the best things to do when you arrive in a new city is to explore the historic old town. European cities are quite charming with cobblestone streets, well-preserved architecture, and tales of those who call them home.

Riga was first established as a city in 1225 and is arguably one of the most alluring cities in Eastern Europe. In the Old Town of Riga, you’ll find almost every architectural style imaginable – Gothic, Baroque, Romanticism – some dating back to the 15th century. With over 500 historic landmarks nestled in this picturesque medieval setting, Riga has been designated as a UNESCO world heritage site.

And the best way to experience the quaint old town of Riga is alongside a local! Book this vintage 2-hour Riga walking tour and let the passionate guide not only reveal intriguing historical details of the city but also take you through the time-lapse of almost 7 centuries. It’s a history lesson that you won’t soon forget. It’s one of the best tours of Riga!

2. Discover Delicious Latvian Cuisine

Chances are, you’ve never had the opportunity to try Latvian cuisine at home. And you may have no idea what to expect. The most common ingredients used in Latvia are potatoes, barley, eggs, pork, wheat, onions, and cabbage, and there is a strong influence from other Baltic countries. Milk products and seafood add to the richness in flavors, and tastes.

One of the best ways to discover a new country or region is to experience the local cuisine. And diving right into it can be overwhelming. You’ll need to research the best dishes to try, where to eat them, and be sure you’re selecting reputable restaurants to reduce your chance of an upset stomach.

That’s why our second favorite Riga tour is the food tasting experience at the central market. The location is one of the biggest markets in Europe which delivers a unique setting and is a heaven for food lovers. You’ll have the opportunity to explore Riga through local produce with your guide and gain invaluable insights on where to eat and drink once the tour is finished.

3. Get Out in Nature

Nature-lovers rejoice! If you thought you’d be spending all of your time in the city during your trip to Riga, then this lovely half-day hike through natural ecosystems will be a pleasant surprise.

Latvia is comprised of 4 national parks, 42 nature parks, 9 protected landscapes, and hundreds of nature reserves and monuments that harbor over 100 animal species both inland and underwater. And the best way to explore the natural beauty of the area is on a guided day trip from Riga where you’ll learn about Latvian nature, culture, and traditions.

This half-day guided nature tour will unveil four unique ecosystems in the spectacular Nature Park Piejūra. The hike is 6 to 9 miles and it’s done at a leisurely pace so that you can marvel at the secluded beaches of Riga Bay, the coastal pine forests, and silent lakes. This easy hike is suitable for children so you can make it a fun outing for the whole family!

4. Visit Rundales Palace

Rundales Palace is the largest and most famous palace in Latvia and will absolutely be a highlight of your trip to Riga. Built in the 18th century by Italian architect Franchesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, this amazing structure was designed as the summer residence of the Duke of Courland, Ernest Johann von Biron.

With lavish Baroque exteriors, incredible details, and elegant gardens, Rundales Palace is sometimes referred to as the Versailles of the Baltic states. The splendid grandeur of Rundales Palace is truly hard to match. And despite taking heavy damage in both World Wars, it is still a masterpiece that thousands of travelers admire today.

Luckily, Rundale Palace is easily accessible via a day trip from Riga. Book this tour of Rundales Palace and enjoy a one-hour comfortable ride from Riga where you’ll enjoy views of the Latvian countryside. During your tour of Rundale Palace, your guide will entertain and educate you with stories of the palace’s history, including a few scary tales.

Book A 5-Hour Tour of Rundales Palace

5. Explore the Canal of Riga  

If you enjoy exploring the city of Riga but want to escape the crowds, then a cruise on the Daugava River is the perfect excursion for you! You’ll get to experience the beauty of the city and the culture of Latvia but from a slightly different perspective.

You’ll board a small, eco-friendly canal boat for a relaxing cruise where you’ll be enchanted by the premier landmarks, historic bridges, and the iconic old Town, all without having to contend with any crowds. By booking this wonderful riverboat tour , you will get to experience the Daugava River, an important landmark in the Medieval ages for navigation and trading.

You’ll set sail from the pier next to the Freedom Monument and get a front-row view of historic bridges and landmarks during this one-hour Riga canal cruise. Boats depart every 20-30 minutes depending on weather conditions.

Pro Tip: The canal trip also offers an audio guide, but you’ll need to bring your smartphone and headphones to enjoy it.

Riga is an attractive tourist destination that boasts beautiful, ancient architecture and a renowned old town that has gained a highly desireable UNESCO World Heritage title.
