This Soviet Riga tour provides a compelling view of life under occupation, grounded in the memories of those who lived it.
Our local guides use significant city centre landmarks, such as the imposing Latvian Riflemen Monument and the notorious KGB "Corner House," to share personal accounts and human stories of survival, quiet resistance, and the struggle to maintain Latvian identity right here in the heart of Riga.
The tour offers a nuanced understanding of the heavy shadow the Soviet regime cast and the resilience shown by the people until independence was regained.

Exzellent tourguide and very interesting tour

5.00Guide Edvards explained the Soviet Era history of Riga very well to us, accessible to the layman, but not dumbed down. Especially interesting was the history of several monuments and buildings, which over their existence were redefined in their meaning according to the ideology of the government, such as transforming a church into a a planetarium. I definitely recommend. We had a splendid tour!

5.00Edvards is so extremely passionate about this topic! His knowledge is immense, yet he conveys it in a way that is easy to understand and follow along. I really enjoyed this tour and it’s the perfect way to actually understand the history of the city you’re visiting, rather than just check out some coffee shops and move on to the next city. Thank you Edvards!
Totally worthwhile and incredibly interesting

5.00A great tour from Edvards. What made it really special was how he wove the history and experience of his own family into things - really brought everything to life. And then, as we walked between sites, he was happy to answer further questions with even more knowledge.
Excellent and personable overview of Riga

5.00Edvard was exceptionally personable, highly knowledgeable about history, geography, cultural, and current affairs. Our time with Edvard flew by as we walked Riga. He provided suggestions for meals, local food dishes, and offered a wonderful overview of the country and city.
