April ‘23 my mom and I had an amazing day with Paul! Latvia is small, and does not have as many tour options as bigger Euro cities. This was the only tour we could find that offered the best variety, and someone who was more than just a driver. Paul did a great job explaining and connecting. My mom and I are Latvian-Americans that haven’t spent much (or any) time in Latvia. Paul was very easy to talk to about our background, as well as share his. He even looped in a request for an extra stop along the way. It was a big and sometimes emotional touring day - but totally perfect. For anyone without a personal connection to Latvia, you will learn a lot along the way.This was an amazing tour. Paul was a great tour guide, answered all my questions and helped me take the best photos! I couldn't recommend this tour more, especially if Paul is your guide. Thank you so much for a wonderful day.

Pauls was a very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide; very attentive and made the tour a very memorable experience; very safe driver also!The trips was great everything was arranged and sorted out for me. The guide was fantastic and so were the conversations in the car. It is amazing how much you can learn about a country and get new perspectives on a few hours trip with a stranger. Safe for solo female travellers.
