Perhaps the best your we've ever been on.

Published on Apr, 2025

Three of my brothers-in-law and I were touring the Baltics for my 50th birthday. Perhaps the best part of the trip was spending the day w Normans. He gave us such good info, was fun and happy, took us to a great meal, showed us his fisherman's village he lives in, and gave us options throughout the day on how to customize our tour. I can't honestly tell you how great it was. If you're on the bubble deciding whether or not to book the tour, please do. I don't think it could've been any better.

Insightful and fun tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We had such a fun time with Normands, he gave us lots of great insight on our tour and was just a lovely warm character. His passion for his country was great to see. Book this tour and you will learn lots and have fun, if you ask nicely Normands may even show you some of his traditional Latvian dancing!!

Fantastic day with a great guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

My husband and I had a fabulous day with Normunds. He was super knowledgeable about the sites we visited and the tour was engaging and well paced. We had plenty of time to see all the things we wanted to and do some shopping. He also took us to his home town, Saulkrasti, and helped us get info for a hike along the Sunset Trail we took the next day (easy day trip from Riga). 10/10 would recommend going on a tour with Normunds. We hope to see him again on our next trip to Latvia!

Latvia castles and scenery in 6 hours.

Published on Sep, 2024

Overall, Excellent tour in every aspect. There were four of us (2 couples), and we booked this tour instead of the large-group bus tour from our cruise ship. Normunds was a great driver, and a wealth of knowledge. Yet, he would not overwhelm us with minutia details. His English was very good. The Mercedes van was comfortable and had plenty of room. Normunds was very attentive, and emphasized that this was a private tour, so we could go and visit as we pleased. At the same time he would offer suggestions for specific sites to see and things to do. He seemed to quickly pick up on our interests and pace, and adjust his suggestions accordingly. Beautiful scenery, interesting sites/sights, and great weather contributed further to make it a most enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Wonderful day with Normunds & our family of 6!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our visit throughout the Latvian countryside with Normunds was absolutely incredible! We were with my parents and our two young children, and he came prepared with a beautiful car equipped with car seats for the kids, and several options of itinerary routes that we could 'choose as we please' to adjust for our day based on our family's interest (and attention level!). Normunds was a wealth of knowledge on Latvia and was a wonderful guide for us in both Latvian (which my father in law speaks fluently) and English (for the rest of us!). Highly recommend any tour with Normunds or his company!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
