Free excursions in Riga
Yes Yes! There are free tours in Riga in English! Moreover, there are several thematic routes: the old town, Art Nouveau, Moskachka, etc. I’ve been on these excursions a couple of times and really enjoyed them. It was interesting.
Where can I find free excursions?
- Agency Free tours in Riga
- Walkative (platform with free excursions in different countries of the world)
- Guruwalk (platform with free excursions in different countries of the world)
The format of the excursions is as follows: you register online, come for the excursion (please, if you do not come, cancel the reservation so that the group does not wait for you).
At the end of the tour, you pay the guide as much as you see fit. Usually it’s about 10 euros. But you don’t have to pay at all.
After the tour, you can leave a review about the guide on the website. This is very important to them!
