A surreal experience for anyone who has never held/shot a gun in his/her life. It was scary but weirdly exciting. Sure to get the adrenaline pumping! Picked up and dropped back off at the hotel. The shooting range is set inside in closed off rooms. Very nice people, and very flexible - if you want to shoot a different weapon, you can browse the catalog there and pay extra on sight.read more

The Riga Guide team were fantastic in helping me organise a Stag Do for 27 people. They are very responsive and helpful over email and quick to suggest alternatives if something doesn't work out (for example due to bad weather or traffic). They made what could have been a very stressful trip loads of fun and I'm very grateful - I'd definitely recommend using them for group trips. Steph and Irina were particularly helpful! Thank you!read more
