★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 52 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $356Our pick

Review of Riga’s private castle day trip to Turaida, Sigulda, Cesis, and Araisi, with honest advice on value, guides, timing, and what to expect.

“Three of my brothers-in-law and I were touring the Baltics for my 50th birthday. Perhaps the best part of the trip was spending the day w Normans. He gave us such good info, was fun and happy, took us to a great meal, showed us his fisherman's village he lives in, and gave us options throughout the day on how to customize our tour. I can't honestly tell you how great it was. If you're on the bubble deciding whether or not to book the tour, please do. I don't think it could've been any better.”
