Riga Boat Tour with a Live Guide + Riga Central Market Tour with Tasting

2 hours

Easy

Discover Riga from both the water and its most authentic local market in this unique combined experience with a live guide accompanying you throughout the entire tour.

The tour begins with a scenic 30-minute boat ride along the Riga Canal, taking you from Andrejosta directly to the famous Riga Central Market. Unlike standard boat tours with audio guides, this experience features a live professional guide who stays with you from the very beginning of the journey, on the boat, during the market visit, and on the return cruise back to Andrejosta, sharing stories, history, and insights along the way.

Upon arrival, step into the vibrant atmosphere of one of Europe’s largest and most authentic markets – Riga Central Market. Explore its bustling pavilions, learn about Latvian culinary traditions, and enjoy a tasting session featuring local delicacies.

Our guide will lead you through the market, share its fascinating history, and introduce you to authentic Latvian specialties. During the tour, you will enjoy a tasting of local products, including hemp-based specialties, locally produced cheese, and a special Latvian craft beer available only in selected places in the city. You will also hear stories directly from producers, gaining insight into the traditions behind these foods.

The tasting is included in the tour price, and guests will also have the opportunity to purchase products at a special price available exclusively for tour participants.

After approximately 1 hour at the market, you will rejoin your boat for a relaxing return journey back to Andrejosta, once again accompanied by your guide.

Join us for an unforgettable experience combining scenic boat views, local culture, and authentic Latvian flavours — all in one seamless journey.
