"The Riga Scavenger Hunt and Walking Tour was a blast! It was exciting to solve the riddles and uncover the hidden gems of the city. The app was easy to use, and the clues were challenging but not too difficult. I loved how we could explore at our own pace and take breaks whenever we wanted. It was a great way to see Riga and learn about its history and culture. Highly recommended!" - Emily H. "We did the scavenger hunt as a team-building activity for our company, and it was a huge success! Everyone had a great time working together, solving the clues, and exploring Riga. The tour was well-designed and gave us a chance to bond outside of the office. It exceeded our expectations and made our trip to Riga truly memorable. We would definitely do it again!" - Mark S.
