Riga: Behind the Iron Curtain 3.5-Hour Communism Tour
1.Behind the Iron Curtain 3.5-Hour Communism Tour
Explore Riga’s Soviet past on a private 3.5-hour tour of Ķengarags, with local stories, deportation history, and everyday life behind the Iron Curtain.
“This may not be the sort of tour you’d sign up for. However, for a deeply personal sense of what life was like under the Soviet regime and how, especially now, Russia is seen as an ever-present threat to this young country, this is an excellent trip. You travel to various points of interest by car, each with a short or longer walk - nothing too tiring! Richard provides an excellent and informed commentary throughout but in a style that is conversational rather than formal or academic. Really, don’t miss this insight into a period of Latvia’s story that is, perhaps, overlooked.”
