“My husband and I enjoyed our trip with Rolands. He was an expert on environmental issues and shared his knowledge and enthusisiam. with us. We enjoyed the diversity of the tour taking in bog, lake, forest and beach areas. He supplied a picnic of traditional Latvian fare, which we enjoyed. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and returned there afterwards.”

“Had a good day out with Janis. I very much enjoyed his company. Janis is such a friendly and lovable person, we had a good walk and even enjoyed a good local beer at the end. The tour was a success even though it was cloudy on the day. many thanks”

“We had a great trip with Erlens, who was very friendly and gave good information. It was well worth getting up that early, because we saw a beautiful sunrise. Afterwards we went to Jurmala for a drive around and walk on the beach. Perfect start of the day.”

“I booked a private hiking tour that was fantastic. Valdis (the tour guide) is a very enthusiastic person that knows everything one must see and visit. The tour even included some best homemade Latvian sandwiches. Highly recommended!”

“It was 10/10. I want to do it again whenever I’m back in Latvia. Absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere, great sites, perfectly chosen hiking trail.”

“It was an amazing experience, great views, beautiful river and forest. Very friendly guide! Definitely recommended to any nature enthusiast!”

“Our guide, Lauris, was very personable and knowledgeable. Aside from enjoying the walk through the nature trail, seeing many animals and birds, we learnt a lot about the history of Latvia. The site of the old mill with its caves carved out of limestone cliffs was also a highlight. We can recommend this tour”

“The sunrise tour with Krista was amazing. The tour was perfectly timed and well worth the early morning departure. Kemeri National Park is gorgeous. Both the forest and the bog are magical to walk through. I really appreciated Krista's positive energy. It was lovely to learn more about not only the national park but Latvia as a whole. I really appreciated that she still ran the tour even though I was the only participant. It was like going for an outing with a well-informed friend. My only regret is not having more days in Riga left so I could take additional tours with Latvian Gem. I cannot recommend Krista and…”

“This day was excellent value; a deeply informative way to explore Latvia's healthy and biodiverse countryisde, whilst staying safe in it's endless bogs and forests. Rihard is a thoroughly likeable guide, keen to bring to life Latvia's rich cultural history, and to tailor the tour to your specific interests. A surprise picnic was a really lovely idea and we enjoyed some of Latvia's favorite foods. We were thoroughly entertained and fit a lot into the day. Our teens loved the floating boardwalk and we came away with some great family shots. Remember your binoculars; apart from many species of dragonfly, we saw lesser-spotted eagle, red-backed shrike, red-breasted flycatcher, marsh harrier…”
