“What a unique and enjoyable evening! The stop off at the beautiful beach at Jurmala was beautiful and was followed by a fantastic walk at Kemeri National Park. The bogs here really are very interesting and getting to see the sunset from the watchtower was very special. Both Janis and Richard were great guides! They were full of interesting information, looked after our every need and were just all round very good company! Thank you Janis and Richard! :)”

“We had this tour with Mikalis and he has been willing to help and to show us around. Our first stop was at the beautiful Kemeri park and it was infestated with mosquitoes, so please don’t forget to take some repellent with you. We saw the magical sunrise from the watchtower and wow…what a beautiful view! After that we went to Jūrmala beach and town and had a breakfast there in a nice café. It was worth to get up so early, we definitely recommend this tour if you pass by Riga!”

“The sunrise tour with Krista was amazing. The tour was perfectly timed and well worth the early morning departure. Kemeri National Park is gorgeous. Both the forest and the bog are magical to walk through. I really appreciated Krista's positive energy. It was lovely to learn more about not only the national park but Latvia as a whole. I really appreciated that she still ran the tour even though I was the only participant. It was like going for an outing with a well-informed friend. My only regret is not having more days in Riga left so I could take additional tours with Latvian Gem. I cannot recommend Krista and…”
