“We were collected by Gints from our accommodation in Riga. The journey time was a leisurely 40 minutes into the countryside, where we met up with the dogs. They were really friendly, well looked after, ready and eager to be harnessed up to the sleds. Being Spring, the snow had gone, so the sleds had wheels on, like an elongated trike! We took turns in being the Musher and the passenger. Great fun and afterwards had a walk out to a fire watch tower. Fantastic views from the top. The trip was well organised, fun and we got to see the beautiful forests.”

“No era el ideal del viaje que quería comprar ,pero como se nos anuló el que teníamos comprado desde hacía meses tuve que contratar uno en el último momento...y resultó muy divertido . ¿Tuvimos hasta una nevada! Y castillos con nevada es diversión asegurada. Martins también eetuvo muy acertado. A pesar de no ser un guía acreditado nos dio toda la información que poseía . Hizo ameno el viaje. He dico que no era mi ideal de viaje, y esto es porque en este viaje lo que tú contratas es un coche que te lleva a todos lados, pero en nuestro caso Martins aportó sus conocimientos y se interesó porque…”
