Tour precioso por el caso antiguo de Riga. Eva, la guía letona, nos explicó mil cosas de historia y curiosidades de Riga, y su comparación con Tallin (Estonia) y Vilna (Lituania). Nos habló del tiempo, la cocina letona y las atracciones. Y hablaba perfectamente español, pues había ido a universidad, máster, etc por España. Se le nota que ama tu trabajo.

Beautiful tour of the old town of Riga. Eva, the Latvian guide, explained a thousand things about the history and curiosities of Riga, and its comparison with Tallinn (Estonia) and Vilnius (Lithuania). She talked about the weather, Latvian cuisine, and the attractions. And she spoke perfect Spanish, as she had gone to university, master's, etc. in Spain. You can tell she loves her job.

El tour duro algo más de dos horas por el casco histórico de Riga. Nuestro guía Maris, nos hizo que las dos horas pasarán volando, contándonos la historia del país letón con un toque de humor y con unas anécdotas que nos mantuvieron en todo momento conectados con la visita. Sin duda es una actividad muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour lasted just over two hours through Riga's historic center. Our guide, Maris, made the two hours fly by, telling us about Latvia's history with a touch of humor and anecdotes that kept us engaged throughout the visit. It's definitely a highly recommended activity. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos ha encantado el city tour con Zane, una mujer de origen letón pero que habla español increíblemente bien. Una visita cargada de historia y de cultura que ayuda a entender la Riga que vemos hoy. Además nos dio recomendaciones estupendas de dónde y qué comer, qué visitar… un 10!! Translate this opinion into English.

We absolutely loved the city tour with Zane, a Latvian woman who speaks incredibly good Spanish. It was a tour packed with history and culture that really helped us understand the Riga we see today. She also gave us fantastic recommendations on where and what to eat, what to visit… a 10 out of 10! Opinion translated. Show original.

Una de las mejores visitas guiadas que he hecho. Maris es un auténtico súper clase, conoce el oficio, cómo llevarlo a cabo de forma amena e ilustrativa y además su manera de conducir al grupo y el hilo narrativo de todas sus explicaciones es entretenido y con un envidiable sentido del humor. Translate this opinion into English.

One of the best guided tours I've ever taken. Maris is a true pro; he knows his stuff, how to do it in an engaging and informative way, and his way of leading the group and the narrative thread of all his explanations is entertaining and full of an enviable sense of humor.

La ruta en si y las explicaciones estuvieron muy bien y muy completas. Lo único que no nos gustó ( y supongo que será más culpa de la empresa que de la guía) es que íbamos muchísima gente en el grupo y a la guía le vendría bien para ello un micro o hacer grupos más reducidos, pues había ocasiones en que costaba más trabajo poderla escuchar entre tanta gente y ruidos de la calle. Por lo demás todo muy bien. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour itself and the explanations were excellent and very thorough. The only thing we didn't like (and I suppose it's more the company's fault than the guide's) was that there were so many people in the group. The guide could have used a microphone or made the groups smaller, as there were times when it was difficult to hear her over the crowd and street noise. Otherwise, everything was great.

Ieva (I hope I spelled that right!) gave us a comprehensive overview of this very young country, highlighting its main points of interest, its history, and its cultural and artistic offerings.

Muy dinámica, había mucho que contar y el guía Mag lo hizo de forma amena. Si bien a veces hablaba muy rápido y no modulaba bien, si le volvías a preguntar él respondía sin problemas. Con este tour conoces básicamente todo el casco histórico de Riga. Translate this opinion into English.

Very dynamic, there was a lot to tell and the guide Mag made it enjoyable. Although sometimes he spoke very fast and didn't modulate well, if you asked him again, he would respond without any problems.

Hubo mucha descoordinación de la central. De esta misma central anularon el tour a última hora a una serie de viajeros, no a todos. Por este motivo el tour se inició con unos 25 m de restraso. Eramos muchos viajeros para un solo tour pero gracicas a la buena voluntad y predispoción del guía el tour se pudo realizar en buenas condicones. Translate this opinion into English.

There was a lot of disorganization from headquarters. They cancelled the tour at the last minute for some travelers, but not all. Because of this, the tour started about 25 minutes late. There were a lot of us for a single tour, but thanks to the guide's goodwill and helpfulness, the tour was able to proceed smoothly. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me encantó el tour gracias a Maris. Es un guía con muchísimo conocimiento y una gran capacidad de resumir las cosas bien. Es muy gracioso y el tour se hizo ameno, además de muy informativo. Además, Maris supo diferenciar estupendamente los hechos objetivos y la opinión del pueblo letón subjetivo, presentando ambas partes para que nosotros mismos entendamos mejor la situación. Mil gracias Maris, aprendimos mucho contigo y nos hiciste enamorarnos de esta gran ciudad! Translate this opinion into English.

I loved the tour thanks to Maris. He's a very knowledgeable guide with a great ability to summarize things well. He's very funny, and the tour was enjoyable and very informative. Furthermore, Maris brilliantly distinguished between objective facts and the subjective opinions of the Latvian people, presenting both sides so we could better understand the situation. Thank you so much, Maris! We learned so much from you, and you made us fall in love with this amazing city! Opinion translated. Show original.

Noi avevamo prenotato la visita in lingua inglese, ma quando abbiamo visto che c'era anche il tour in spagnolo (che non era disponibile quando avevo prenotato) abbiamo fatto il tour in spagnolo e siamo state molto soddisfatte. Mario è una guida molta preparata, empatica che sa dare le informazioni precise, ma allo stesso tempo sa sdrammatizzare al momento giusto. Sarebbe interessante avere la possibilità di "cambiare la lingua" nel caso si crei la disponibilità. Translate this opinion into English.

We had booked the tour in English, but when we saw they also offered a Spanish tour (which wasn't available when I booked), we took the Spanish tour and were very satisfied. Mario is a very knowledgeable and empathetic guide who provides precise information while also being able to defuse situations at the right time. It would be nice to be able to switch languages if available. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un tour bastante interesante que te acerca al pasado y presente de Riga, el guía, lastimosamente no nos acordamos de su nombre, pero se nota la pasión con lastimosamente que hace sus tour. A pesar de no tener un español perfecto se le entiende todo y se esfuerza en hacer que entiendas todo y lo disfrutes. Ha sido un placer tenerlo como guía! Translate this opinion into English.

A very interesting tour that takes you through Riga's past and present. Unfortunately, we don't remember the guide's name, but you can tell how passionately he conducts his tours. Even though his Spanish isn't perfect, he's very easy to understand and makes sure you understand everything and enjoy the tour. It was a pleasure having him as our guide! Opinion translated.
