Tailor-Made Travel

Private & custom Latvia tours, designed around you.

Latvia is the surprise of the Baltics — Riga has the world's largest concentration of Art Nouveau buildings, and on Alberta Street their façades writhe with stone serpents and grinning masks. Inland, the Gauja Valley is forested and castle-dotted, with Sigulda's cable car hanging above the river, and to the south stands Rundāle Palace, the baroque masterpiece of the architect who built St Petersburg's Winter Palace.

Every Black Deer Travel Latvia tour is private and fully custom. From a deep immersion into Riga's Art Nouveau quarter and the Central Market's bustling energy to the castle-filled Gauja Valley, Rundāle Palace and its rose gardens, and the windswept Cape Kolka where two waters meet, we build the journey around you — with architecture historians, forest-guide expertise, and evenings in neighborhood restaurants where locals dine. Latvia pairs naturally with Lithuania and Estonia for a complete Baltics experience. The best time to visit Latvia is May to September, when the forests are green and the coast is accessible.

Good to Know

Latvia tours — your questions answered

What is the best time to visit Latvia?

May to September is the best time to visit Latvia, with mild weather and long daylight. The Gauja Valley forests are lush and green; the coast is accessible. June brings long, light evenings, with sunset after 10 pm.

How many days do you need in Latvia?

Five to seven days is ideal — enough for Riga's Old Town and Art Nouveau quarter, a day or two in the Gauja Valley and Rundāle Palace, and time to linger. Latvia pairs naturally with Lithuania and Estonia.

Are your Latvia tours private and customizable?

Yes — every Latvia tour is private and fully custom. We tailor the route around Riga's architecture and food scene, the Gauja Valley castles, the manor houses, or a combination of all three.

How do you get around on a Latvia tour?

A private driver is essential for the countryside (Gauja Valley, Rundāle, Cape Kolka); within Riga, walking and local guides are preferred. We arrange every transfer, guide, and reservation.

What is Riga's Art Nouveau district?

The quiet streets around Alberta and Elizabetes iela, just outside the Old Town. Around a third of central Riga's buildings are Art Nouveau, many by the architect Mikhail Eisenstein, and a guided walk there is one of the best mornings in the Baltics.

What is Rundāle Palace?

An 18th-century baroque palace about 80 km south of Riga, designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who also built the Winter Palace in St Petersburg. The gilded state rooms and the restored French garden, with its large rose collection, make an easy day trip from Riga.
