Trip from Riga to Jurmala – Town on the wave

An enjoyable half day tour to the sea-shore and the most popular town – resort Jurmala

Jurmala is a wonderful place situated on the shores of the Riga Bay.
Fine white sands, pine-trees on the dunes, fresh air and blue waters of the sea – all this makes Jurmala attractive for Latvians and our guests. Jurmala boasts its wooden architecture, most of the buildings are safe since the turn of the 19th-20th centuries.

Driving & walking along the main streets of Jurmala you’ll enjoy the specvial spirit of the place, enjoy it`s endless beaches  and listen to exciting, funny but always historical stories of the city.

I love telling stories to my guests finding something special exactly for them! If you enjoy listening to historical facts inter-weaved with funny stories about local traditions and jokes – welcome to my tour in one of the most wonderful towns in Latvia.

During the tour I will recommend you places to see, meals to taste, traditions to follow, museums to visit, shops to souvenir.

I like your questions to be answered – prepare many of them as you get ready to tour with me!

My tours are often booked by my partners and guests 1 – 1.5 years in advance. It is important especially for those who are on a shore-trip and depend very much on the time of arrival & departure. Please care of your tour arrangements as much in advance as possible!

From my experience of having tours booked with different partners please contact me first before booking about my availability on the day of your tour to be sure.

If you are a cruise-ship traveller please contact me to precise the port of docking. For the ports in suburbs of Riga you have to take a shuttle bus or you can book me for transferring you to the centre. In this case we are able to start the tour even at the transfer time in order not to waste time.
