    We had a very pleasant walking tour with Santa through the Art Nouveau district. She did a good job of categorizing and describing what we were seeing and helped to put it in historical perspective. She did such a good job that the rest of our stay in Riga we were looking for more A.N. and recognizing the different categories she discussed. Excellent tour. On time. Highly recommended.

    Everything was awesome, well organized and on-time. I asked for the guide to meet us at the hotel (we were in the center) and she did, with no problem, then took us on a brisk walk up to the Art Nouveau district and told us the history of every relevant building present there (let me put it this way, every building you see in the postcards). Then took us into the Art Nouveau apartment (that cost a little bit extra) and went through the apartment, telling us the history of the place. Everything was awesome, as I have already said. Well organized, well planned and well executed. One funny aside, our tour was just me, my tour guide and my pal. Through out the tour, we kept getting funny glances at much larger groups doing the same tour of Italians, Germans and Argentinians, who were in groups of twenty, twelve and thirty respectively. They were confused as to how I managed such a private tour.

    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!
