This exclusive Riga Out There Sightseeing tour allows you to gain an informed insight and knowledge of Riga old and new as well as enjoying a presentation and tipple of Latvia's infamous national beverage Riga's Black Balzam
Depart from your hotel by bus to enjoy a panoramic tour of the city of Riga. The bus will take you across the river to Pardaugava to explore the very interesting and less chartered regions south of the river - some say the true and authentic Riga.
You will also venture in to millionaire's avenue - a district where the rich and famous reside overlooking Riga's unique panorama, before being overwhelmed by Victory Park.
Then we will head to to Alberta and Elizabeth streets, the 2 most beautiful Art nouveau streets in Riga.
Then the guide will take you to the colourful Riga Central Market to get a taste of Riga local life. From this point, you will have a glance at the Academy of Science, a relic of the Soviet past.
After this stop, the group will enjoy the rich architectural heritage of Riga, an elegant mix of Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and Medieval style. You will discover St Peter church, the house of Blackheads, the guild houses, the Latvian parliament, Dome Church, the three brothers, the National Opera, the monument of freedom and the Swedish gate.
The grand finale of the tour will be a very entertaining and informative presentation about Riga's Black Balzam, the Latvian national beverage created by loving hands from 24 natural ingredients. Balzam adds up to a harmonious blend of extracts made of herbs, flowers, juices, roots and berries. The unique recipe was created in the 18th century by Riga pharmacist Abraham Kunz. You will visit a reconstructed 'Balzam's pharmacy' to enjoy a complimentary tipple and show about Latvia's number one cure for all ills! Click here for more info on Latvia's Black Balzams.

Testimonials
Dear Riga Out There - We were unable to pull up your feedback questionnaire. We had a very good experience and were very impressed with Pierre who led us on two trips through Riga as well as a third one to the Ethnographic Museum. His knowledge of history, and political events surrounding Riga and Latvia were much appreciated by everyone in my family. Though I was born there and spent the first 13 years of my life in Riga - I too learned quite a bit. Thank you Pierre very much. Austin, who led us to Rundale and Jurmala was very professional and helpful , but it is hard to match Pierrre for charm, patience and knowledge. Thanks to both of you.
