City Sightseeing Riga — Local services in Riga

We did this hop on hop off bus tour today. Reasonable tour route over to the left bank but mostly around old town , art nouveau area, etc. Map is on the website. Would have said 3.5-4 star, except for the confusing timetable. More below.

To note: headphones are already provided and plugged in. Not disposable/ single use like some other companies. if you want to get off, walk downstairs and let the driver know. They don't automatically stop at every stop. tickets are valid for the day/date - NOT 24 hours. Keep this in mind if you buy later in the day.

Confusing timetable - the pamphlet available on the bus says last tour at 16:45 in High Season, with interval of 30 mins. We arrived at 16:40 and a bus came and set down a minute or two later and said no more tours for the day - weekdays they are apparently less frequent and last tour is at 15:45. The reduced frequency and less tours on weekdays which is not clearly communicated needs to be improved. (the website does show the less tours - but not all customers can view the website, especially if you don't have data roaming / access to wifi). However - a redeeming factor, after a few people asked the question, the driver called his manager who agreed to do another run (there were ~8 potential passengers). Thanks to the driver for taking the initiative here (and I assume getting home a bit later to...

I have to echo previous reviews about the older man who stands in the city plazas trying to advertise this bus tour. I felt attacked and degraded as he very angrily tried to push a ticket sale on me, becoming irate and even throwing personal insults at me until I agreed to take a brochure. I understand Latvians tend to have a more abrasive personality, but this type of behavior in public is inexcusable. If you want to keep up with the tourism industry in Latvia and stop losing American dollars as you have been, you’re going have to develop the sense to turn these types of people away from working for the face of your...

We used this hop on hop off bus tour on 28.06.2023, and paid for each person 25,00 Euro / day. It was really disappointing.

Old dirty buses with dirty and partly broken headphones. Disgusting.

Two times the driver doesn't stop at the locations on the map. We talked to the driver but she doesn't care about this fact. There were also no extra signs along the route, to know where hop on the bus and you don't know when the next bus come. There are much better services in other cities.

Riga is just a small town for the hotspots to explore by foot. You really don't need this...
