Customer Feedback for Riga

“I'm pretty sure I talk for the whole group when I say we all had an awesome couple of days. From the moment we arrived, our guide made us all feel welcome and filled us in about everything we needed to know for our weekend in Riga - which turned out to be invaluable after talking to a few other visitors to the town.

Riga itself is a beautiful city, with plenty of drinking establishments and amazing sights, which was undoubtedly helped by the mediterranean feel and the 18 hours of daylight we had in early July.

We wanted to have some time to ourselves, so we only took part in one day activity (karting) which was well organised, and great fun, albeit not long enough!! I personally thought the breathalyser was a good touch!

Everybody congratulated me on organising an entirely satisfying break (little did they know I hardly did anything!”

“I really would advise big groups not to go here as it is just so dangerous. there seems to be a constant threat of getting a right hander and getting robbed by locals, bouncers, police and taxis. plus side was the activities and your staff. excellent. hotel and weather was another bonus”

“The Stag had the best weekend of his life. Not only the Stag, there were 13 of us and everyone said it was the best organised and generally the best stag do they had been on! The guide was excellent, the activities excellent, far too much beer, not enough sleep etc. The Stag liked the stripper meal although I think he was a little afraid!!! Brilliant!”

“Riga was a quality stag do from start to finish. The venue was exceptional and the Last Night of freedom representatives were outstanding throughout. Highly recommended ”

“Great weekend, really good activities”

“The activities were good. food and beer was ok, we were not told the banquet was in a night club we thought it was in a private resturant but the dancers were hot. Shooting was good but still a little expensive ”

“Great stag location. No longer cheap but great fun. Would thoroughly recommend taking the bar crawl on first night as a way to find the decent venues. Once our guide, Lana, had worked out what we were looking for she took us to the best places in town well away from the rip-offs. Kalku Varti is a great club in the centre of town. Not too big and packed out with the local types you want to see ;-)

Shooting was excellent. Karting was a real hit - we expected some rough dirt track but were pleasantly surprised with the modern well-equipped indoor centre with a fast track and fast cars. Thankfully we all managed to pass the breathalyser test - just!

All in all a super weekend. 5*.”

“What a weekend! Brilliant time was had by all. Would defo go again!”

“After booking Riga I did some research on the net which lead me to believe it was a bit of a dodgey place, with many groups getting into trouble. I found Riga to be no trouble at all. We did stick to all the main bars and clubs but these are the bigger, better and busier ones anyway. Had a wicked laugh, hotel was great for the price. I'd also recomend the night club you use for a top club to go to.”

“Riga is a top spot for stag/ hen do's, in fact its just a great place generally. The night life as expected was top draw. However on my stag weekend we did encounter some problems, on the first night one of my friends had his credit cards cloned, (my advice is only take cash out, go back to the hotel for more money if needed)on the 2nd night the same friend got drugged and went missing for 8 hours. Be aware of the "Pink Panther" club and the "Pub" next door, (they're in the main plaza) we are pretty sure this is where it happened. Also be aware of th Russians conning drinks out of you, they always pick the most expensive drinks, (always look at the menus in bars before you buy drinks. Never work up a tab, just buy the drinks your going to have there and then. If you work up a tab and don't have enough money they will try to make you pay with a card in the bar..... DON'T! If anything go to a cash point. Try to go to bars/ clubs that don't have bouncers on the outside, the more reputable ones have the bouncers on the inside.”

“We had a great weekend. We were met by our rep in Latvia even though we landed early. It was a 10 minute transfer to a hotel, that was far better than I was expecting. the hotel had all the mod cons as well as a cheap mini bar in each room.

We headed off into town and the nightlife in the old town is very cool. The beer and girls weren't as cheap as expected (are they ever?) but what ya gonna do. Anyone worried about trouble shouldn't fear, it's easy to find but only if you go looking for it. i.e. don't touch a stripper if they say don't touch. We saw a guy get carted away, but you know he did something dodge. All in all, great trip, great service and will recommend LNOF again...”

“The activity (indoor karting) was in a superb & modern complex, with clean facilities and a great track, however the instruction & explaination of the rules/race type/itineraty was poor. The karting complex seemed to be run efficiently - i would say too efficient.

Airport/hotel transfers were on time. The minibus was modern & clean. The rep, Elina was friendly.

Riga is a beautiful place with many types of bars/restaurants for all tastes. Prices were roughly the same as the uk - Riga have realised the value of tourist money & are exploiting this.....Beware of taxis

Overall, a good place to visit. I have been very satisfied with the customer service from lastnightoffreedom. In particular Paul was particulary helpful. ”

“Location was great, good organisation and services overall and very professional (especially the guide on Sunday). ”

“Delighted we went to riga. Great place, great women, great bars - would go again.”

“Our host, Lana, was excellent. ”

“The weekend was brilliant! havent had fun like that for a while! the shooting is a must & what a experience! Our guide was called Svetlana and she was very helpful in finding the best bars & clubs on the bar crawl.

And what a great hotel, the bar inside is amazing! I also lost my wallet as soon as we got to the hotel so Svetlana rang the minibus guy and he brought is straight back as I left it in the bus! and all the money and cards were in tact!(very nice people!).

Basically, go to Riga with Last night of Freedom!”

“We had a fantastic weekend. Everyone really enjoyed it and our guide Lana made sure we had a great time. Please praise her for our great weekend. If I were to organise another Stag Event I will defnetley be using your services. Thank you for all your help and services. Dilip”

“Type Stag party in a search engine and you come back with hundreds of thousands of results. What a headache?! Fortunately Last Night of Freedom was just the relief for my headache!

I had heard great things about this company from friends who had been on LNoF parties before and they certainly didn’t disappoint this time round.

Their professional, friendly and importantly consultative approach ensured that my brother (the stag) and his 15 mates had a weekend never to be forgotten! Everything went as planned as per the LNoF itinerary, which meant all we needed to do was turn up on time, drink, eat, shoot from an AK47, crawl around some pubs with a local guide, gorp at some amazingly beautiful Eastern European women, Go Karting, Spa and pool (with beers), and leave with a head full of stories and a lot of laughs. 10/10 LNoF, thank you very much.”

“We were deeply impressed by the perfect services, punctuality and our host (Vita) in Riga.

We can only say .... WELL DONE !!! We will absolutely recommend "Last Night of Freedom"

We had a great time. Thanks a lot to the whole team!!! ”

“Firstly I would like to say how easy you guys made it for me (The best man) to organise the trip. Your website is very well presented and made it easy for us to choose what we wanted to do.

When we arrived in Riga we were met by the guide (Katrina) and taken to our hotel, which we were really pleased with, nice location and nice and clean.

Katrina then took us around town going into a number of different bars which gave us a good guide to the city as well. Would recommend a guided bar crawl on the first night – Not they we remembered much the next day.

We were then picked up early to start the activities. Both the paintball and bob sleigh were excellent, the guys at the paintball were very professional and made it a real fun day.

I would have to recommend the Bobsleigh though – It is something that everyone should try.

Medieval Banquest in the evening was a nice simple meal to line the stomach for the night ahead and was a good experience.

All in all we had a fantastic time. Our guide Katrina was excellent and really made the trip what is was. So many thanks to her.

Best Regards ”

“We booked the shooting and the pub crawl. We were picked up at the right time and treated in a very friendly and efficient manner by a very pretty young lady. The shooting at first seemed a bit tame until we heard the ear splitting boom and saw the flame shoot out of the muzzel of the kalashnikov after that we had a bit more respect for the guns. It was great.

The pub crawl could have started a bit earlier (but then it did give us the opportunity to eat) The girl - a hairdresser and part time finance student- very pretty and pleasant. We went to pubs and clubs that we would not have found ourselves and everyone thought the evening was a great success. Initially some people thought the price was a bit much, but once things got going most people though it was good value.

A great time had by all.”

“First, thanks for your first class service on assisting me in arranging what turned out to be a great week end! 15 Scots had an absolute ball however the weekend did have its ups and downs! The ups first.

Great host Marija who was first class and looked after us with great respect for most of our trip. Her organising skills were great and i ask that you pass on my thanks 15 fold.

The events were also great and actually made the trip, Bobsleigh 5* fun, paintball 5* fun apart from the running STAG (me) covered in bruises, Shooting 5* fun.

The downs, Well!!! We chose to arrange our own unguided bar crawl on the second night (big mistake) as after several drinks 4 small groups were loured into strip clubs and robbed! I know the warnings were there from Last Night of Freedom however one could never expect the robbery and threats from these clubs. I personally was involved in a exit doorway scuffle where one of my mates was marched to an atm for 200 lats even after i had bought all the drink at the bar! Another was bullied by the police at the door for 150 lats for a bottle of wine in the PINK PANTHER BAR/CLUB. The sourest was the one lonesome pissed guy who has had 900 lats and 500 lats swiped on his debit card and another 900 rejected by my companies VISA (he works for me) by BAR ANGELICA’S after he was there for half an hour or so!!!!! We are perusing this with his bank and the fraud squad however fear little hope of getting anything back.

Marija took us on our bar crawl to a bar which was great however everyone we spoke to who was on the same Ryanair flight as us, 3 other stag nights had exactly the same stories with one group nursing nasty injuries where they had no money to pay!! Disgusting is the word i use to describe these people now. To summarise; I would recommend Last Night of Freedom to anyone who is looking for Stag/Hen assistance as complimented above, however, i would strongly recommend NOT going to RIGA!”

“The weekend went exactly to plan.

Your guide met us at the airport and took us to the hotel then straight out to the strip dinner. It was an excellent night.

The next day the guide was exactly ontime to take us to the bobsligh which again was outstanding. Saturday evening she took us around the city on a pub crawl then into a nightclub. All the places we went to were stag friendly and a great atmosphere.

Thanks again”

“Excellent service and Riga was a very good destination. Although be careful if you make the stag do any embarassing stunts in public - they took the public nudity very seriously and we spent an afternoon at the police station and had to pay a fine.”

“The weekend went pretty much wihtout a hitch and everyone had a great time.

The guide was excellent providing help and information beyond what's typically expected. Riga was great fun too and a must for stag-dos!

only minor problem was with payment as I paid by cash and was overcharged (but the Riga folk were quick to rectify before I was even aware of the problem, so that ws great)...thumbs up all round really!”

“PRE-FLIGHT - Both Denzil and Elina were absolutely fantastic in arranging and checking details for the holiday. Can't praise either of them enough, they really made the whole booking process so easy. 10 out of 10!

FLIGHT - Very good flight time both ways, seemed to go very quickly. No issues at the airport and our Rep, Maria, was there to meet us as specified. 1 of our party didn't make it, through no fault of Last Night of Freedom, though we will be making a complaint to the airline.

TRANSFERS - Good driver (with a cracking moustache) - No complaints at all, got us from A to B every time with no hassle at all, even with several persons having some serious bodily odour/ gas issues.

HOTEL - Perfect for what we needed. Ideal location, lovely beds, good bathroom, tolerant staff (especially as some of the group were a bit rowdy!) There were some dodgy locals nearby who tried to drag us into various places of disrepute, but we managed to ignore them and we made our way to the decent venues nearby which Maria had recommended.

FREE-FALLING - Absolutely brilliant! Everyone loved it and it was bloody hilarious when various people landed on their arse or started doing acrobatics. Staff at the place were very professional and attentive to our concerns/needs. Top stuff

MEDIEVAL MEAL - Bit of a let down. The venue itself was great and clearly had a lot of history and atmosphere. However, the food wasn't great and, in hindsight, probably wasn't the best place for a dozen lads with bellies full of beer. Especially with locals/tourists trying to enjoy a civilised meal in the next room. Food wasn't great, though to be fair, very plentiful! Would probably book a normal dinner if I was doing it again.

NIGHT CLUB ENTRY - Bit of a let down. We tried to get in but told we were not on the guest list. Possibly our fault as we didn't go at the specified time though they claimed we were not on their list at all! Most people were too pissed to be bothered though...

REP - Maria was very helpful and answered all our questions. Very tolerant and understanding, which can't be easy with a group of 12 lads when you're the only female, so fair play to her. Thought she would be spending a bit more time with us on the night out but appreciate she had other commitments and things to be getting on with.

RIGA - Beautiful city. Locals seem a bit wary of us, which I suppose is understandable. Not as cheap as I thought it was going to be, but good value for what you pay I suppose. All those we spoke to had a good grasp and understanding of English, which helped a lot. ”

“Brilliant.... the whole weekend

accommodation was very nice, guided tour recommended!! no complaints at all.... thankyou!!!”

“Riga itself is a good place to for a stag do.

We didn't get to see the clubs, but there are plenty of bars there.

The food is ok, but the beer is not cheap.”

“All 15 guys in Riga had a superb time, the nightlife was excelent with Loads of bars/clubs all scattered everywhere.

Both the shooting and Karting were superb, best karting venue most of us have ever been to. Shooting is highly recommended, go for all 4 guns with the AK47 and the big pump action, you don't get to do this kind of thing back in the UK.

Svetlana the guide was wicked, really relaxed and spoke good english. Had great fun out with her and her mate, can't say a bad word about the whole weekend. Worth every penny going to Riga through Last Night of Freedom, would recommend it to anyone!”

“I would just like to say that our stag weekend in Riga was fantastic.

The organisation from the rep was impeccable and coupled with the excellent activities made for a brilliant weekend had by all.

Thanks very much and I would highly recommend you. ”

“Had a really great time in Riga, hotel was a good standard and our rep was really helpful making sure we were all on the bus at the relevant times (no mean feat !!).

A word to the wise, dont just wander into any old bar or club unless you dont mind being fleeced, try to find out a bit about it first, but generally had great drinking fun especially in the skyline bar on the 23rd floor( Riga Prices are also quite a bit more expensive than we were hoping) - not much cheaper then uk prices now, but dont let it put you off, was a brilliant weekend. ”

“We only booked the limo, bobsleigh & shooting through your company. Limo and bobsleigh were great but the shooting was average. Svetlana did a fantastic job. She was a pleasure to deal with and helped the 22 if us out if we needed anything”

“It was a great place to go with a bunch of guys good laugh and we were looked after from the moment we got there till we left.

Would say limited amount of pubs and clubs to go that are safe but had a great time and enjoyed it.”
