(Update as of October 2009!!!) Unfortunately the already terrible state of escort service in Latvia has taken a turn for the worse as changes in the law have driven all of the good agencies out of business leaving only rip off artists, scammers and the occasional independent in business. Rigavipescorts.com is now selling erotic massages only and escorts-latvia.com is now a companion service that includes no “special” services. Basically at this point in Latvia it is either an erotic massage or risk being ripped off by criminals and scammers working the streets and illegal underground brothels.

(This is old information. Please see the update above!) There are a few Latvia escort agencies that operate like typical western escort agencies.  They are more expensive then the “independent” escorts but the quality level is usually higher as well.  They usually have English speaking staff who answer the phone and they are more likely to try and accommodate your requests for type of girl and timing.  While their quality is higher it still can variable.  The two most well known Latvia escort agencies are escorts-latvia.com and rigavipescorts.com.  Unfortunately on both of these sites the girls pictured in the profiles are not the escorts that are actually available.  Escorts-latvia.com is English owned and they are generally pretty friendly and helpful.  They are almost always available and usually have some girls working.  Unfortunately their prices are on the high side (250 EUR for two hours) and their girls are often somewhat mediocre (although not terrible).  Rigavipescorts.com also has friendly service but their prices are even higher than Escorts-latvia.com (150 EUR for one hour or 275 EUR for two).  Their girls are also not the ones shown on the website but their quality level is usually pretty high.  Both are good choices but they both will cost you.  Escorts-latvia.com is easy to reach and usually has something available.  Rigavpescorts.com has higher quality escorts but at a higher price and they are not always available.

In general dealing with these Latvia escort agencies will keep you from getting ripped off and you are likely to get a decent girl out of the deal.  They are a lot more expensive then the “independent” escorts though so it depends on your budget.

There are a large number of Latvia escort websites which post advertisements and profiles of “independent” Latvian escorts.  They usually feature a few photos, some personal information about the girl (age, measurements etc.) and the services she claims to provide.  Some of these sites include intimmeitene.lv, intimservis.lv,  ladylux.lv, sexylady.lv, escortservice.lv, ladies.lv, rigaescorts.com, exclusivescort.com and sm.lv.

All of these Latvia escort sites are similar in the sense that they accept advertisements from “independent” Latvia escorts and provide a phone number to contact the girl directly.  Unfortunately typically most of the phone numbers go to any one of a number of illegal brothels in Latvia.  The profile and photos attached to the number most likely have relation to what girls will be available at any given time.  Our experience with these sites has shown the the quality of what you receive will range from very poor to pretty good.  It is usually a very “hit or miss” type of situation.  Many of the pics used in the advertisements are fake or else the girl in the photo is unavailable.  Often a girl will show up who is not acceptable and then will demand some amount of money (usually 20 LVL) to go away.  It is also often difficult to transact business in English and the price is always higher for “touristas.”  The price for these girls is usually around 60 LVL per hour.  It is often possible to negotiate a cheaper deal but it is not advisable to pay etra as increasing the price is unlikely to effect the quality of the girl you are sent.  Typically you get sent whoever is available regardless of how much you offer to pay.

Despite the pitfalls it is possible to get a good girl using these Latvia escort sites.  It ussually takes a lot of trial and error to find a good Latvia escort on these sites but it can be done.  Unfortunately when you do get lucky and find a good girl you cannot count on being able to reach her again unless you get her real phone number from her.  In most cases all the phone numbers on these sites lead to brothels or “managers.”

Latvia is a beautiful country that features the most beautiful women per capita in the world!  Because it is part of the European Union and therefore relatively tourist friendly (at least compared to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) Latvia offers a unique opportunity to meet some really spectacular model quality women who would be well out of your league (or price range) anywhere else.  Unfortunately for every guy who comes to Latvia and has a great time with a gorgeous Latvian model there are many others who come and fall victim to one of the many pitfalls that exist.  As you have probably heard, Latvia, while being safer than most Eastern bloc countries, still is home to many scams artists.  They particularity like to take advantage of single men or stag parties that are looking for a good time with some local Latvian ladies.  Because of that it is very important to understand the local Latvian scene before going out so you can experience the incredible Latvian girls without falling victim to some rip offs or criminals.

In past few years Latvia had become very expensive and a somewhat difficult environment for tourists but the recent economic downturn has started to change that and now Latvia is starting to have a lot of good deals and and lot of lonely Latvian girls looking to meet some nice “tourista”.  Latvia is starting to look and feel a lot more like the “good-ole-days” before the European Union when there were plenty of available sexy girls and not too many tourists.  Prices for accommodations, services and entertainment are nearing half of what they were just a year ago and with no end to the economic downturn in sight, this should only continue to get worse (or better if you are looking for a good time in Latvia.)
