Even though there was no snow, the ride on wheels was still a lot of fun – exciting, well organized, and a great experience with the huskies. The dogs were full of energy and clearly very well taken care of.

“Adam was our driver and he was so much fun. He always stopped by the curb so we would have an easy step down from the van. He gave us recommendations of where to eat and took very good care of us.

“This was a really good bike tour of Riga. We kept just the right pace, not too slow and not too fast. We were able to see some of the Art Noveau area and areas across the river from Old Town. I had rented an e-bike just in case I needed the assistance, but Riga is so flat, I only needed the extra help a couple of times! Still I was glad I had the option.”

“We were collected by Gints from our accommodation in Riga. The journey time was a leisurely 40 minutes into the countryside, where we met up with the dogs. They were really friendly, well looked after, ready and eager to be harnessed up to the sleds. Being Spring, the snow had gone, so the sleds had wheels on, like an elongated trike! We took turns in being the Musher and the passenger. Great fun and afterwards had a walk out to a fire watch tower. Fantastic views from the top. The trip was well organised, fun and we got to see the beautiful forests.”
