Explore Riga’s Jewish heritage, the Peitav Shul, Maskavas wooden homes, Rumbula Memorial, and Eisenstein architecture in a small-group tour.
“Armands is fantastic. The tour is great and provides so much history about Riga. This is the second time we have been to Riga and on tour with Armands and we would come back in a heartbeat.”
Explore Riga’s Jewish heritage in two hours, from Peitav Shul and the former ghetto to the Old Choral Synagogue and cemetery.
“Gunta was very helpful answered questions and showed me what we needed to see. Unfortunately, for me, the Holocaust Museum and the synagogue were closed for a holiday. Fortunately, for me, I was able to go at another time to both locations and they were amazing. The tour covered the highlights in the lowlight of Jewish life in Riga. I walked away with a great understanding of what life must’ve been like in the early 1940s. I also realize you could never know what life is like until you’ve experienced it. Thank you for a great tour.”
Explore Riga’s Jewish past, Art Nouveau, ghetto sites, Holocaust memorials, and synagogue with a private local guide.

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
