Kickstarting our travels in the Baltics after a long period of pandemic lockdowns was hard, but doing it with Discover Latvia Tours made it so much easier. My friend and I were looking for a guided transfer from Riga to Vilnius, and Rihards was absolutely helpful right from the beginning. He navigated through different options for us while we figured out our covid tests/border-crossing times etc. and gave us absolute assurance that we were in safe and good hands. Will recommend!

Rihards made this a really pleasant trip for us. He kept up a running commentary on places we saw as well as discussions about Latvia and Estonia. He was such an engaging person. We had a few sightseeing stops along our transfer from Riga to Tallin. My favourite was a boardwalk walk through the bogs. Such a different environment to experience. Very glad we decided to use This private transfer from door to door. Highly recommend.

We booked a Vilnius to Riga transfer with Rihards and had a fantastic experience. Rihards was very responsive over email and accommodating to tailor the experience to what we wanted to see. He picked us up outside our hotel in a clean, new vehicle and was very professional and fun to talk with. We stopped at both the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace. We were a bit skeptical to visit the Hill of Crosses as we weren’t interested from a religious perspective, but it was still totally worth seeing and very unique. Rundale Palace was truly spectacular, and unexpectedly beautiful. If you are traveling between Vilnius and Riga, don’t hesitate to book a transfer with Rihards!

Having read some of the other reviews there isn't very much that I can add! Rihards picked us up promptly from our hotel and took us to the door of our hotel in Vilnius. Along the way he explained a lot about the two countries and some things about their history and current situations. He also told us some entertaining stories about beavers, wild boars and hot air balloons!! We stopped at the Hill of Crosses which is well worth a visit as it's intriguing and fascinating. Rihards also managed to find a stork's nest with 4 young. Although this is a fairly expensive way to travel it is very comfortable with the best chocolates in Lativa also on offer and I would thoroughly recommend this service. We really enjoyed the trip and also enjoyed Rihards company. Very professional! Thank you.

I found out about Discover Latvia through their website and booked this tour via email, and Rihards responded promptly. To say the least, we had a wonderful trip with Rihards. He is an excellent driver and came to pick us up punctually from Riga in a comfortable and new Renault mini-van (even though there was only 3 of us). He was friendly, polite, well-spoken and extremely knowledgeable. He was very informative and shared about the history, culture and current affairs in the Baltic states. He brought us from Riga to Vilnius, and included stops along the way to both Rundale Palace and The Hill of the Crosses. He was patient with all our queries and exceeded our expectations by even helping to bring our luggage into our hotel in Vilnius. If we had an additional day, we would have definitely taken another day tour with him to explore the rest of the Latvia or Estonia. It was an absolute pleasure to have had him as a guide and driver! Thank you Rihards !

We used Discover Latvia for a private transfer between Riga and Tallinn. It was all booked and organised before we left Australia (a very easy process). This was the best decision we made on our trip. Our driver, Rihards, was a very safe and conscientious driver. He was so knowledgeable about Latvia and Estonia. He took us to some great places of interest on our drive between the two capitals. He was a great person to spend 8 hours with. Thanks for a wonderful day! A perfect way to end a perfect stay in Latvia. I definitely recommend ‘Discover Latvia’, the service was outstanding.

We booked a transfer from Vilnius to Riga including a couple of stops in Hills of Crosses & Rundale Palace and another transfer from Riga to Tallinn a couple of days later with stops at Sigulda National Park, bobsleigh tracks, castle, Gutmans cave & Parnu.

All these arranged via emails with Rihards who responded promptly with clarity. Rihards picked us up promptly both times & dropped us off in good time. The tours were well planned, informative & interesting especially the bobsleigh track stop. The van used is new, clean & spacious for 5 adults.

We had a wonderful time & would definitely recommend Discover Latvia.

We spent 4 days each in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius.

Instead of taking straight transfers from Tallinn to Riga and from Riga to Vilnius, we took 7.5 to 8 hour transfer tours between the cities. This included wonderful sightseeing along the way and time for lunch in beautiful and inexpensive restaurants.

We used Discover Latvia for both transfer tours. We upgraded from a car to a van because of our luggage and mostly because of our comfort.

The agreed upon itineraries were great and the places the driver/guide stopped for the two lunches were wonderful.

We also used Discover Latvia for a private tour from Riga to Sigulda and the surrounding area.

For everything, we were very satisfied with Discover Latvia. Nice vehicles, great tour guide, etc.

Discover Latvia's service was exactly what we needed for comfortable and enjoyable transfers from Tallinn to Riga and from Riga to Vilnius. Very good value at a reasonable price with Rihards as our driver. Both trips had well designed itineraries. The Tallinn to Riga trip included worthwhile stops at Parnu and at Turaida Castle. The Riga to Vilnius trip included stops at Rundale Palace and at the Hill of Crosses.

We would recommend Rihards and Discover Latvia without hesitation.

Rihards arranged a private transfer for me from Riga to Vilnius. Over several emails everything was set. Martin the driver picked me up promptly in Riga and off we went for a road trip. Martin was a delight. He loves a chat and was an excellent driver. My only regret was I didn't get a chance to see more of Latvia. I will be back and I will most definitely use this company again. They are first class!

I had contacted a few tour companies prior to leaving for Europe regarding a transfer from Vilnius to Riga with stops at Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace. Rihards was very quick in responding and we communicated very quickly via email. He came back with the best price and also suggested we visit Kaunas. That was greatly appreciated.

We had a great day and could not have asked for better service. I would highly recommend Rihards and his services.
