Explore Riga live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Old Town is worth asking about: the medieval core of squares, churches and merchant houses.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

Good to know about Riga

Do I need to be in Riga to join a session?

How long does a session last?

Between 0.8 and 1.5 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

What language is the session in?

Guides here offer English, Latvian, Russian and German; pick the one you want when you book.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.

Can I ask the guide anything, or is it a fixed script?

Anything. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
