Overall the trip was successful. Everything planned worked like a clockwork.the drivers were polite smart and I enjoyed talking to each one of them.they spoke perfect English. The tour guide in Riga was exceptional. She knew a lot about architecture art and history. She went well over her time slot to accompany me to different areas to experience the city..
The same goes for Rolanda in Kaunas who was extremely informative and friendly..
Ramune in Vilnius was one of the best. Not only her vivacious and energetic personality but her knowledge and efforts to learn more about me and from me. I must point out that she visited the towns I requested a few days beforehand so she can learn and prepare herself. That is remarkable.
Emerson and Moonika were on top of things and were accommodating,responsive. I had the pleasure of meeting them both.
Ad I mentioned to Emerson ,I would not recommend the Koventa Seta hotel in Riga but rather choose a smaller more intimate hotel . This one was noisy ,it has a few bldgs which don’t have elevators that they don’t tell you even when you check in.
I will definitely choose KimKim again for my future travel.
Hotel Reviews
A beautiful old town charm
The location is fantastic but the hotel has 5 bldgs all on the same old street. The ONLY BLDG which has a lobby is the main one where the reception is. It has a restaurant across the main bldg which serves as a beer garden during the evening. Extremely noisy if you stay in one of the bldgs close by. The restaurant for breakfast is excellent. Most of the bldgs they assign to you DO NOT have elevators.they don’t tell you this when you check in. I asked for a high floor so they gave it to me upon checking in not fleeing me I am in a separate building without an elevator. Upon asking the front desk they responded I should have known!. The room was above the noisy rest where music was on until 2 am. I would think twice before staying there again..
Clear cut modern hotel. With everything you need. The restaurant for breakfast is clean spacious and elegant, it has everything you need.warm and pleasant staff
One of the most beautiful places on this trip. Quite serene and simply elegant . The dinner at the restaurant is top notch. Breakfast unfortunately starts at 8:30 which is late for early risers. The manager was willing to accommodate me for a 7:30 room service but the kitchen was not prepared and I received it 30 minutes late. It would have not been an issue but I had preplanned a guide and driver picking me up. I suggest to staff to open early to accommodate the guests.
Great location rooms and staff. I love the rooftop bar and view
Activity Reviews
Jonas is a pleasant experienced tour guide
Our guide Kristo Parne is very good. He is polite knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him
Beautiful scenery although the guide’s English could be better. She was not very talkative and didn’t know much of the history. It was a very long walk of 12 kms.
The guide was fantastic. Unfortunately I forgot her name but she was very knowledgeable of the history and architecture. She went the extra miles to accommodate me and walked extra time to see a very different area of the city
Very good guide ant tour
Rolanda was one of the best guides. Pleasant fluent in English very knowledgeable in her history .
Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your feedback. It was a pleasure helping you with your trip, and Moonika and I were very happy to meet you in person as well!
Thank you also for the feedback about Konventa Seta. I’ll definitely keep this in mind when planning future trips to Riga.
I’m glad everything went smoothly overall, and I hope we’ll have a chance to help you with another trip in the future!
