About this experience

To avoid all confusion the driver will speak English, so you can get information from them as well as get to your hotel safely. With this level of service it is only to the hotel and not the return trip to the airport, but at least you will know which way is best and what it should cost. If your flight is delayed there is no need to worry as there will not be an extra charge for the driver waiting. It will take around 30 to 40 minutes to get from the airport to your hotel in Riga.

What you'll see

Regardless of the time that you arrive at your holiday destination, it is nice to be able to walk straight into a minivan and be taken to the hotel. No queuing for taxis and no need to worry that whoever does pick you up will take you the right way – too many visitors to a city will be taken the wrong way and charged a great deal more than the actual fare. The service starts while you are still in the airport and here there is a meet and greet service so you will know right away who your driver is.
For all the activities we require the minimal amount of participants (8 people).

In some cases, particularly during peak booking periods, the transfer start time may be subject to change. Any adjustment will be communicated in advance and confirmed with you to ensure it works for your schedule.
