Just had this tour. It was very well put together! I loved the order of the tastings, and it wasn’t too long or too short. Very kind and informative...

An excellent tour and introduction to some Latvian history and cuisine. An hour tour is very much worth a stop with lots of snacks throughout.

Great tour with plenty of snacks along the way. A clearer meeting point would be appreciated as well as more time to finish the tasters 🥹
