"Each one of us represents a story, but our stories need focus and context. CAPITAL R are passionate urban storytellers with great experience working with city organisations, including us, and helping to form more knowledgeable visitors and more responsible Rigans."
Gvido Princis - former Riga City Architect (2012 - 2022).
"Despite the cold and gloomy weather during our visit to Riga in February, the tour, tailored to our needs, brought the city and its stories to life. Avoiding the usual routes, it opened the door to a whole series of unexpected and unique new highlights."
Hans Venhuizen - Department Head of Master Interior Architecture (INSIDE), The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK).
"...There are only a few matches to their erudition and knowledge of the history of Riga and it's culture (and particularly cinema), especially to the ways and techniques this knowledge is made available to others."
Agnese Logina, former Minister of Culture (2023 - 2024)
