“Guta was a fantastic guide! She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Art Nouveau architecture in Riga. She even offered to take us through the Riga Central Market afterwards because the tour we had arranged canceled at the last minute.”

“This is a wonderful walking tour of the art nouveau architecture of Riga. Not limited to where all the larger group are focused, you get an informed tour of different building types in a wider set of “new” Riga (outside the walled old town). Emils was fantastic. He studied art history and does this for fun- so he shows real interest and passion. He can recommend great food, shops, etc. It was wonderful to meet him and see an introduction to the highest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe!”
