We enjoyed our tour and the guide was very well informed and provided a lot of useful background information. We particularly appreciated how she guided us through the Art Nouveau district and explained the symbolism behind the beautiful (and sometimes amusing!) architecture.

Nice tour with walk through old town and rebuilt areas picturesque. Kudos to the guide for deviating from the scheduled stops to take us, at our request, to the Bikernieki Jewish memorial.
