Edvards Rutkis

Hi, I'm Edvards and I am a professional tour guide in Riga.

I’ve spent the last ten years helping people look past the postcards to see the real Riga—from the grit of the Soviet era to the vibrant energy of the modern Baltics. My background in Political Science means I’m always ready to dive into the "how" and "why" of current events, but my life in improv theatre keeps the conversation light, spontaneous, and far from a dry history lecture.
Beyond the city , I’m deeply connected to the quiet beauty of Latvian nature and the quirky stories that make this place home. My goal is to give you an honest, unvarnished, and witty look at Latvia that stays with you long after the tour ends.
Having travelled extensively I've come to appreciate the unique charm of my home region and hope to share it with you!

Hope you like my tours and enjoy Riga!
