Your Private Tour Guide
Anna
Hi, I'm Anna,
I am a certified guide from Riga (FR, ENG, RU).
In 2006 I received my diploma in humanities and my first guiding diploma.
Today I work as a guide in Riga, Latvia and I am a guide for French speaking groups in the three Baltic States.
I love Riga for its mix of architectural styles, its narrow winding streets, its charming little cafes ... The city is a compendium of architectural treasures of Art Nouveau and Slavic and Germanic influences that shape a historical city, where the must-see sites are a must. My mission is not only to unveil them to you, but also to take you to unknown or more hidden sites and places and show you "my" city as I love it and would like to make you love it!
During my excursions I do not only tell historical facts, but also legends and stories of the inhabitants of the city.
Solid knowledge, responsibility and friendliness are my three pillars.
