Latvia · GREAT KEMERI BOG TOURS

“This was a great trip from start to finish and really added some lovely memories to our holiday in Latvia. Armand was on time to collect us, very friendly and chatty and was attentive to our needs the whole time. He knew so much about Latvian history and nature and was very willing to answer any questions and share his expertise. I don’t think you could ask him a question he doesn’t know the answer to! We were so lucky and had the whole Kemeri Park to ourselves as we arrived so early in the morning, it was so beautiful and peaceful. I really recommend even in winter, the snow…”

“My sister and I booked this tour with Jimmy as we were looking for a tour to get outside of Riga and explore more of Latvia. There were surprisingly not many tours like this offered, besides private tours. It ended up only being the 2 of us though, but can be a small group. Since it was just us, Jimmy picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and we could be more flexible with the schedule such as spending more or less time at certain stops. At first I wasn't sure since there were not a lot of reviews. However, Jimmy is an experienced tour guide who…”

“We really enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide Rolands was very friendly and informative. We were picked up from our hotel at 9am and returned at 2pm. In total we were 4 people, us plus another couple. The guided walk on the boardwalk around Kermeri Bog was spectacular! We were also lucky enough to see some wildlife including a Stork, Crane and Lizard! After we finished the 4km walk Rolands offered us some traditional Latvian sweets and tea. We were pleased we opted to do the Jurmala extension where Rolands drove us through the town pointing out things to see before we made a short stop at a viewpoint overlooking…”

“The sunrise tour with Krista was amazing. The tour was perfectly timed and well worth the early morning departure. Kemeri National Park is gorgeous. Both the forest and the bog are magical to walk through. I really appreciated Krista's positive energy. It was lovely to learn more about not only the national park but Latvia as a whole. I really appreciated that she still ran the tour even though I was the only participant. It was like going for an outing with a well-informed friend. My only regret is not having more days in Riga left so I could take additional tours with Latvian Gem. I cannot recommend Krista and…”

“Das war für uns ein wirklich toller Morgen, Krista war sehr bemüht, die Kommunikation per WhatsApp schnell und unkompliziert, wir wurden mit Getränken versorgt. Es war an diesem Morgen sehr kalt (ca. 1 bis 2Grad), sie hat mir sofort ihren langen Pullover geborgt, ich hatte damit nicht gerechnet, Handschuhe habe ich auch bekommen, es ging nämlich zeitig um 3.30 Uhr los ab unsrerem Hotel. Auch für Leute geeignet, die so etwas noch nie gemacht haben, kein Problem. Mit dem ortskundigen Führer auf dem Wasser waren wir gut unterwegs und mehr als gut versorgt! Ich würde das wieder machen! Die Aussicht mit der Vogelkolonie, dem Nebel über dem Wasser bekommen wir…”
