Voyzo runs 5 private tours across 1 destination in Latvia, covering 8 attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
Latvia is one of the three Baltic states, on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea between Estonia and Lithuania, with Belarus and Russia along its inland borders. It has a population of around 1.9 million, Latvian as its official language, and has been an EU, NATO, and eurozone member since joining in 2004 and 2014 respectively. Its modern history is marked by a hard-won independence — first declared in 1918, then lost to Soviet occupation from 1940 until it was regained in 1991 — which still shapes how Latvians talk about the country's identity today.
Riga, the largest of the three Baltic capitals, anchors most visits, with a medieval Old Town sitting alongside one of Europe's largest collections of Art Nouveau architecture. Beyond the capital, roughly half the country is forest, and the landscape opens into Gauja National Park's river valley and castle ruins, the Baroque grandeur of Rundāle Palace, the storybook streets of Kuldīga, and a Baltic coastline running from the resort town of Jūrmala to the port city of Liepāja.
A few of Voyzo's Latvia routes continue on into neighboring Lithuania, Estonia, or Finland for travelers building a longer Baltic trip, with every night's hotel and border crossing honestly disclosed on the tour page. Outside Riga's compact, walkable Old Town, a private driver is the practical way to reach the national park, the palace, and the coast within a single trip, given limited public transit between them.

Latvia sits on the Baltic Sea between Estonia and Lithuania, with roughly half the country covered in forest and its population concentrated around Riga and a handful of smaller cities.
Latvian is the official language. Russian is also widely spoken, a legacy of the Soviet period, and English is common among younger Latvians and throughout the tourism industry in Riga.
Latvia uses the euro, having joined the eurozone in 2014. Card payment is widely accepted even in smaller towns.
Latvia is part of the Schengen area, so most visitors from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and much of the world can enter visa-free for short tourist stays — check current requirements for your nationality before traveling.
May through September brings the warmest weather and longest days, best for exploring Riga on foot, the Jūrmala coastline, and Gauja National Park. Winters are cold and dark, though Riga's Christmas markets have their own appeal.
Latvia is calm, well-organized, and welcoming for visitors, with a well-established tourism circuit around Riga and the coast, and is generally considered one of the safer countries in Europe to visit.
