With great pleasure, I am ready to show you my native and beloved city - Riga. Particularly the Old City. I love to communicate with people from other countries and share my impressions of the beauty of my hometown. History has been my passion since childhood, I have been studying it all my life. In addition to the completed courses of the guide, I received a master's degree in history, and I have experience in guiding tours.
