“Everything was great! We should’ve biked counter clockwise instead because we had a long stretch from Allan Scott to FROMM only for FROMM not to have room — and then we had to bike another long stretch after. Would’ve been awesome if the company could help secure a few spots at each winery although I get that might be challenging :)”

Old Riga Heated E-Bus Tour with Audio Guide & Mulled Wine

13.Old Riga Heated E-Bus Tour with Audio Guide & Mulled Wine

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 50 reviews · 30 min · from $8Best value

Ride through Old Riga for 30 minutes in a heated electric bus with an English audio guide, blankets in cool weather, and a welcome drink. The route covers the historic center and sights such as the castle, with time before or after to relax at Jēkaba Barracks.

“Tour path itself (via city center) was good and we seen interesting places and buildings. However, the information we got about the places was mostly basic and obvious, e.g. we seen the castle and got information that president lives there, but no information about who is the president, what political system they have, what taxes they pay, how school system works or some curiosities or interesting non comonly known local stories. Compering to tours in other cities, this was below average. But considering the price, if you do not have too high expectations, could be ok.”
