“This was an incredibly disappointing customer service experience. I booked this tour the day of, and it showed confirmed on the app. I received the Viator countdown notifications til my tour. But when I showed up at the meeting spot, there was no one there. I tried reaching out to the tour company, but could not and live chatted with Viator. They advised that the tour company had canceled my booking because there were not enough people booked and that they’d reached out via email. I don’t typically check my email when on vacation and instead was relying on checking the app verifying that the booking was confirmed. This tour…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) Top rated

Walk beyond Riga’s Old Town with a private guide such as Emils or Eduards, tracing Art Nouveau from the Opera House to Alberta iela. In two hours, you’ll see vertical Art Nouveau, National Romanticism, eclectic decorativism, and apartment design. The tour is in English and suits groups seeking a focused, flexible introduction.

“This is a wonderful walking tour of the art nouveau architecture of Riga. Not limited to where all the larger group are focused, you get an informed tour of different building types in a wider set of “new” Riga (outside the walled old town). Emils was fantastic. He studied art history and does this for fun- so he shows real interest and passion. He can recommend great food, shops, etc. It was wonderful to meet him and see an introduction to the highest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe!”
