"Great day outside of Riga - Rundale & Mezotne Palaces and Automuseum"

Rihards and Maija provided an excellent day trip south of Riga. Mezotne Palace has a nice river side setting while Rundale is a fantastic palace reminding us of the Russian influence on the nobility. Bauska castle was closed but we went to the Automobile Musuem which was a great find. An eclectic collection that was unexpected. The museum guide had enthusiasm and knowledge for cars that made it fun.

"Two great tours with Discover Latvia"

Rihard was an excellent guide when I took two of their castle/palace tours in October 2013. The fall colors were at their peak and I really enjoyed the Latvian "golden autumn." I decided to visit Latvia on a whim and was very impressed with everything I saw and with the quality of these tours! Rundale Palace, Segulda and Turaida castles were well worth the trip.

"A very good day excursion from Riga"

Our charming, knowledgeable driver/guide picked us up from our hotel at 09:00 am and drove us into southern Latvia (Zimgale province), making a first stop at Bauska, visiting both the town centre and the castle, then on to the extremely impressive Rundale Palace, where we spent two hours visiting the interior, followed by a drive through the extensive grounds in an electric buggy. Finally we crossed the river to visit another palace - Mezotne - before returning to Riga in the evening.

During the course of the day, our guide explained many aspects of the history, culture and geography of the country, so not only did this tour give us a very good insight into rural Latvia, and three in-depth visits of delightful examples of Latviian national heritage, but we also gained a much better understanding of the country and it's people, building on all we had discovered during our stay in Riga.

Highly recommended.

"Professional team"

Although we made contact with them at the last minute and after hours, we received a perfect trip. Maija and Rihards showed up at the appointed time at the hotel entrance. Picked us for a very nice trip as planned. Professional explanations and kindness all the way.

"ZEMGALE: A WONDERFUL DAY TOUR FROM RIGA"

Visiting the interior of Latvia gave us an idea about how is to live there: remarkable landscapes, full of green, being prepared to receive the seeds. Notorious was the lack of people in the rural area, because many young latvians went to Ireland, British, Sweden, Norway in search of better works. Our trip to the Southern part of the country (Zemgale) was so easily and comfortable made by our guides, Maija and Rihards, who were so patient in answering all our questions, doing the best to fulfill our needs. Thanks a lot for your support. Rundale Palace, Bauska castle and Mezotne Palace were a very good experience for ending our trip in your country.

"Castles of Zemgale"

I recommend tour to Sigulda in fall. The season makes the environment one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. We walked in the Gauja National Forest, in the caves of Sigulda, visited castles and met some of the history of Latvia. In addition, Rihards and Sergejs are friendly, pleasant and very funny. I really loved the tour.
