You hear quite a lot about Riga without walking around town. We came to Riga in the afternoon and wanted to start by learning a little about the city from a Guide and that was exactly what we got. We paid 15€ per person on site because we were unsure if we will catch the tour. Highly recommended!

Great boat trip to kill an hour in Riga. Really informative and good boat. Captain was friendly and the commentary was great - In English and at times a little quirky with the translation… I’m not sure that the Latvian poet was incarnated by the Russians… probably just incarcerated!! Goes out on the river Daugava and gets a bit chilly - mind you it is October! But blankets provided. All in all, recommend this to see all of Riga - very pleasant hour spent.

River ride with audio guide in English or other languages in private headphones via app, but not in Italian. The ride also seen the sunny day was pleasant and relaxing. It starts from the inner canal at birth and reaches the great river and then returns to the opposite side of the canal docking at the same point.

Nice relaxing tour along canal and river with comfortable and silent eco-friendly boat. Great views on the Old town and modern part of Riga, best activity so far! We also purchased tickets through their website with a great discount.

Part of the route was blocked off so we didn’t do the circuit. It was pleasant to be on a boat, but there is really very little to see. Unfortunately, although the guide’s vocabulary in English is good, his pronunciation is not and therefore we didn’t understand much of the information of the few places of any interest. Expensive for what you get.

Nice and relaxing boat tour. Good views of the city from the and river Daugava. Captain kindly told us about every building, interesting facts and stories about Riga. This option is much more better than sightseeing bus tour. Highly recommend!

Visited riga and the canal and river cruise is a must. You get to hear the audo guide as you see the historic sites. The boat departs and returns to a lovely Quay in the park and is a short walk from the center of the old town

Great trip. Lasted about an hour with commentary. Electric boat so very quiet. A different perspective to see the city. Quite a small boat so was pleasantly surprised when it went right out to the middle of the main river. Would recommend.

Enjoyable and relaxing sightseeing canal tour.
The boat was very busy so it was a bit squashed, but we had a lovely time nevertheless.
The captain was friendly and informative, and the commentary was played in English which was great.
