“Krista was fantastic, very pleasant and knowledgeable about Salaspils, the monument and overall general knowledge about Soviet Union times. Great short tour if you’re interested in history. Moreover, Krista gave us several recommendations for other trips and sights to see/do in Latvia. Would absolutely book a tour with her again! Thanks!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $174

Private Riga day tour to Gauja National Park, Turaida Castle, and Soviet Bunker 9M, with pickup, guided hiking, and easy logistics.

“Ruined our day. Driver didn't turn up despite us paying £450 for a private trip well in advance. Customer Service was useless and we wasted time trying to find someone to talk to, plus no one responded on the Chat. When we did finally get someone on the phone the only alternative was a tasting tour or refund. No one wanted to help us try and fulfil our trip, we suggested a taxi to the bunker and forfeit walk and castle. No. Our driver had been put on another tour and there was no one available. The lack of empathy and the fact that they had ruined our day was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $455

Explore Latvia’s Cold War relics with a private visit to an abandoned nuclear missile base and a secret Soviet bunker near Riga.

“I'll start off by saying I went solo but for the price I should have dragged along some other friends. Even so, it was still very worth it compared to something cheaper like a chartered tour bus. Pretty certain I got an experience a bus tour won't give you. We'll start right at the beginning. Martins shows up at the hotel lobby with my name on a sign, like a driver at the airport. Already a great first impression. Mind you, the trip to the missle base is a 2-hour drive so having a personable driver for a lengthy road trip helps pass the time quickly. Then we get to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $0

A small-group Riga day trip to Līgatne and the Secret Soviet Nuclear Bunker, with a guided Cold War visit and comfy round-trip transport.

“My wife and I had been communicating with Krista, at Latvian Gem, since April. I was interested in both this tour, and the Iron Curtain Adventure tour. The Latvian Gem website was discovered with a google search. I am so glad we discovered them. The communication I had with Krista, and Latvian Gem for the months leading up to our arrival, was wonderful. Everything was arranged wonderfully. We were picked up from our Riga accommodation by Krista, introductions were made, and off we went. We had a 3pm start time for our Ligatne bunker guided tour. Krista got us inside, got us our tickets, and guided us towards one of…”
