Die Tour mit einem der Boote ist total entschleunigend. Man kommt sich zuerst vor fast wie im Spreewald und dann außerhalb der Stadt auf dem großen Fluß beinahe wie in Amsterdam. Man bekommt einiges zu sehen und zu hören und ist für 1 Stunde sichtlich entspannt.

A very nice round trip in bright sunshine and little wind, half of it through the canals of Riga with a very well-kept park landscape, but the other half on the river Düna with great views of the panorama of the city with many historical buildings. An ideal relaxing complement to exploring the city by bus or on foot, opening up very nice new perspectives.

Wir sind kurz vorm Lockdown gefahren und hatten fast eine private Tour. Es war sehr lohnenswert. Der Kapitän war wirklich sehr bemüht und gastfreundlich! Das Boot war mit Schutzfolien geschlossen durch die man zwar gut gucken aber halt nicht lupenrein fotografieren konnte. Diese wurde extra kurz für uns geöffnet und dann aufgrund des Windes wieder geschlossen! Echt Top!
