“This is a great way to spend an hour in Riga Old Town. We had great company with the other passengers and our hosts were good fun and seemed to really enjoy themselves as well. Don't expect a traditional guided tour, you're busy peddling, talking, laughing and drinking and thus won't hear most of it. They took well needed rests though, so it wasn't like a hard workout, more like intervals of exercise while having fun.”

“Great bike tour, we went all around the city, and really saw a lot in the 2.5 hours. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and enjoyable, and his English was very good. I really liked the earpiece so that we could ride our bikes while hearing him point out places and share bits of information, in between the stops we made. I also liked that he didn’t go too slow on the bikes, so we could actually enjoy riding a bike. I definitely recommend this tour!”

Ride an ebike through pine forests, dunes, and river views near Riga with a local guide on this private nature escape.
“We absolutely loved our bike excursion in the forested area near Riga! It was a perfect break from the hustle of city tourism, the trees are like a fairy tale and the air is fresh and fragrant! Pauls showed us some chantarelle mushrooms to pick and (my favorite part) wild blueberries! The bikes are super fun as well, make sure to speed up when you hit the sand so you don’t go wobbly! We enjoyed seeing the beach and the individualized pace of the tour was great—stop more or less depending on your preference! Great conversation throughout!”
Rent an e-bike in Riga for $14, with a helmet, lock, route tips, and up to 80 km range for Old Town, parks, and riverside rides.
“For the first time, I tried exploring Riga by e-bike, and it was truly a wonderful experience! It turns out the city’s infrastructure is actually very friendly for e-bike use. With it, you can easily get outside the Old Town and see places that would be harder to reach by public transport. The company itself was very helpful – not only did they provide excellent e-bikes, but they also gave tips on the best routes and sights to visit. I definitely recommend this service to anyone who wants to discover Riga in a slightly different and freer way!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
