Gauja National Park Ultimate Hiking & Sightseeing Trip
We Have Top Rated Local Guides
A few of the birds we saw included a Bittern, Great White Egret, and Marsh Harriers as well as plenty of different flora in the different habitats we visited.
The Latvian picnic lunch was amazing. Traditional Latvian food and drink. Roland catered well for all the group, and as vegetarians we were not disappointed with the lunch he provided.
We were in a small group of 7 and Roland took plenty of photos which he sent to us later that day. A truly amazing and enjoyable experience! If we return to Latvia, we will certainly take another tour with Roland.
Visit to Sigulda town for lunch was excellent, and Rolands helped with recommendations for Latvian specialties. The visit to the open air museum and castle in Turaida was also very interesting.
Rolands was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the nature and management of the park, as well as Latvian culture, language and a large number of other subjects, and was a pleasure to speak with.
We have seen hidden places we would not have if we were on our own. Our guide shared with us beautiful hikes and interesting facts about living in Latvia, and we even tasted local food and drinks. He surprised us with an alternative gluten-free bread for one of our friends. He was very professional in his guidance, always making sure we were having fun.
If we return to Latvia, we will certainly try the longer Bog Shoe Tours! We cannot recommend this tour enough! If we had more time we would have taken up his offer to spend the rest of the afternoon on Jūrmala's silky soft, WIDE beach.
Thank you Rolands!!
