Explore Riga

A boat trip through Riga's canals and a ride through the old town by electric bus are fun ways to explore the city. They are offered as a combination but you can also book them separately. The boat trip is unfortunately less suitable for people with disabilities but fortunately I got help and I enjoyed it. Both on the water and on the pebbles I have seen a lot of beautiful things.

Basic and pricey

Underwhelmed. This was overpriced for basically a sauna. It was clean but thin hand towels and no sink for handwashing in the toilet

Operator response

It seems there has been a mix-up — we offer a boat tour, not a sauna.

Not really worth it

Very small and uncomfortable boat. Audio guide was very limited and didn't give much information. Prosecco is an extra euro! Not really worth it.

Operator response

The canal boats are not large, as big boats cannot enter the canal — this is what makes the experience so special and authentic. Most of our guests really enjoy the tour and find it very pleasant and relaxing.

AI tour guide

The audio tour is done in an AI voice obviously reading an AI script. This was really boring and you quickly tune it out so you don’t end up learning anything about the place. Be aware the ‘free drinks’ can only be used on soft drinks (although pics suggest prosecco). That being said, the captain was lovely and it was nice to see the views from a boat.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We’re continuously working on improving our audio guide to make it more engaging and give our guests the best experience possible. As for the welcome drink, guests could also choose coffee — not only soft drinks. We’re glad you enjoyed the views and the kind service from our captain!

Lovely and low key river cruise

Peaceful and beautiful sunset tour! The audio guide wasn’t super helpful with orienting to the specific sites from the boat but had a few interesting pointers.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful sunset and the beautiful views. We’re continuously working to improve our audio guide to make it even more informative for our guests.

Disaster

They will take your money within 24 hrs of event, but then not return it when you have to cancel, because you are within 24 hrs of event. They take your money before you find out that the meetup place is 20 minutes (by car) away from where the tour is. (No way I could get there in time.) Then no response when tried to contact them. Very not pleased.

Nice walk along the Daugava River.

Nice crossing with spectacular city views. The staff was very helpful and helpful. I missed an audio guide in Spanish.
