I find Latvia, and Riga, a welcoming place in general and that positive impression has just been so reinforced, and greatly exceeded by my experience with Rolands on the kayak tour. With great environmental and local knowledge, as you would expect, Rolands went above and beyond bringing everything to life with a depth of personal experience. But he need not have done as the environment itself was so breath taking - with mist rising from an untouched natural world absolutely full of river life it felt at times like you where paddling down the Amazon or were an extra on the set of Jurassic park. More was provided than could have been expected in the tour description. I was left feeling looked after and thoroughly contented. If you want a TRULY unforgettable experience and experience a different side of Latvia, the "real Latvia" whatever that means, book this tour. You will be glad you did.

Our canoe tour of the Gauja river valley was great. Everything was excellently organized. We started from a perfect spot (tributary to the Gauja) and paddled along the most beautiful part of the river valley. This would not have been possible without the canoe transport and the perfect local knowledge of our guide. Ronalds, our guide, spoke perfect English and, thanks to his broad knowledge, was able to tell us a lot about nature, Latvian history and the current situation. The route was a good length - we were challenged but not overwhelmed, we were able to paddle to our liking, take a break or just watch and enjoy nature. The atmosphere was always good. In the end, we felt very enriched - with impressions of the wonderful nature, with information, with our own experiences and those told, with a good atmosphere. I can warmly recommend the tour.

Ein Highlight unserer Reise. Was an einem sehr professionellen und sympathischen Guide lag und einer atemberaubenden Landschaft. Wir können dies uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
