Feel like a true Estonian Viking! We are going to learn how to throw axes, knives and other kinds of weapons, how to shoot from bow and cross-bow, and have a lot of fun during our special workshop in Tallinn! Real professional Estonian Vikings of the 21st century will be our shooting instructors. We will get to know about life and traditions of Vikings, remember the famous episodes from their military expeditions, and talk about the world of Viking gods. More than a thousand years have passed, but up to now people at the Baltic coast have kept the art of throwing axes and knives, spears, as well as bow and crossbow shooting. They are quite good even at target throwing with nails and sows, and as for women – they can manage with a rolling pin or a frying pan right from the kitchen! Do you think you cannot do it? Oh yes you can! Vikings started from learning how to do it, too. And a little secret is – girls are usually better at it)

True Viking day

Walk along Tallinn’s seafront, from Noblessner to the Cruise Terminal, tracing its long, complicated relationship with the water. Once a military-industrial frontier, closed off and controlled, today it is a city rediscovering its shoreline. Pass Patarei Sea Fortress, first built to defend the empire, later used to imprison its own people. Stand atop Linnahall, a Soviet monument to ambition—grand, imposing, and now fading into memory. Moving along the shore, see how the city is opening itself to the sea once more, replacing old barriers with promenades, harbors, and open horizons. The waterfront is a place of shifting tides, not just of water, but of history. Walk through its past, its present, and the future taking shape before you.

Join us on a tour where we introduce you to Tallinn's and Estonia's past and present. We will walk along the medieval streets of the Old Town, the pathways of Kadriorg park and see the spectacular views of the Song Festival Grounds. Tallinn and Estonia have long been at the meeting point of two very different worlds. Since the viking age and through the medieval era this location has served as a vital trade route between east and west. For centuries it was seen by many as the very edge of civilisation. From German crusaders to Russian czars and communist occupation, Estonia has never forgotten its culture, language or identity. Come and find out what makes this country unique. How a once thriving center of trade fell by the wayside; how a land held by foreigners for centuries won its War of Independence; and how a small occupied nation defied the Soviet Union to not only restore its own freedom and destiny but also become the Silicon Valley of Europe. This is the story of Estonia.

What are people saying about Tallinn

Nicola_B, Jul 2026

A wonderful view of Tallinn’s Soviet side.

A ‘must’! Really interesting and engaging tour with Tom. Buildings you’d walk past without a second thought, and areas you’d simply pass through, suddenly become meaningful when you hear the fascinating stories behind them. It feels like if you only stick to the Old Town, you’re getting just half the story. Do it!!

Estonian food, drinks and history tour

Jb102896, Jul 2026

Must do!

Small GREAT group so maybe that made the experience that much better but Anastasia was also a FANTASTIC guide. I know I’ll be back and even if we go to the same places I’ll probably still enjoy it. I’d like more drinking or more time but it is a do not miss. And the weather was bad so if it’s not I’m sure it would be that much better.

Great tour

Our guide Helen (not the Estonian pronunciation) is terrific. She knows Old Town like the back of her hand. She’s funny, entertaining and made our tour a delight. She kept us moving at a decent pace so we saw a lot but did not feel rushed. I highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed this...

Really enjoyed this 3-hour tour. Our guide was terrific and was able to share some unique insights at some stops based on his own military service in Estonia. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about the history of Estonia as well as details about Old Town Tallinn and the nearby areas.

Laehaema national park tour from Tallinn

This was great tour of the natural beauty of the Laeheama national park wetlands and the manor of the 1800s wealthy manor, a great Estonian restaurant for lunch, and a nice walking visit to the old fishing village, and beautiful waterfalls! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome!

Great walking tour of Tallinn

Our guide, Herman, was fantastic. He shared so much information about Estonian history and culture, as we walked through the various areas of Tallinn, including the seaport, upper old town, and lower old town. It was a really great experience and I highly recommend this tour. Do it upon your arrival in Tallinn, and you will have an overview that will allow you to self-guide the rest of your visit.

Tallinn Private Walking Tour with a Local

Dani_B, Jul 2026

GREAT Tour!! Worth it!

Tarmo, our guide, was awesome. He walked us ALL around Old Town—upper and lower. We walked over 7 miles in 5 hours, with one break for snacks and drinks. Tarmo is a native of Estonia. We have noticed recently that more and more tour guides in Europe are not natives of the cities that they are touring you through, but rather have lived there for four or five years. While they can still give a great tour, they cannot match the experiences and insights of a true native. By the end of the tour, we were already to move to Estonia. Who knew? 😉

Day Trip to Lahemaa National Park

Katherine_E, Jul 2026

Stunning Estonian landscapes

My 15 year old daughter and I, together with four other tourists from various countries, had a very interesting day with our fantastic and knowledgeable guide, Sirli. She brought us to the Jagala waterfall (make sure to wear a waterproof jacket and good walking shoes or boots so you can go behind the waterfall, which is really fun) and a nearby suspension bridge which touched the immaculately still water below in the middle, as well as the Lahemaa national park where the landscape was unlike anything we had ever seen, and after the 45 minutes or so of walking the boardwalk through wetlands, we hopped back in the minibus and went for a traditional Estonian lunch in a fantastic thatched restaurant (very good portions and very reasonable prices). The second part of the day (which was long, so be prepared to be very tired on the way back...most of our group fell asleep on the return journey!) was spent touring the grounds of a beautiful manor house (where we moved quite a few tiny frogs off the path...to save them from a somewhat flatter future!), and then the last stop was in a really quaint traditional fishing village, where we also got to try out the huge wooden standing see-saw swing, (which is big enough for six adults and used to serve as a meeting place and was the highlight of the social calendar for local villagers, even bringing together courting couples) which was great fun. Highly recommend this tour, to get out of the city, see the stunning landscape and vegetation and learn about some of the history, nature and culture of Estonia, as well as tasting some local cuisine. Thank you, Sirli!

Tallinn Bicycle Sightseeing Tour

The best way to not only...

The best way to not only see but get to know Tallin, but think twice if you’re not used to cycling with a regular good bike without battery. Our guide (don’t remember his name but his mom was Russian) gave us a very good picture of Tallin and the Estonian history and of course we saw Tallin

Beautiful Medieval City bike ride

Easy bike ride traversing the city of Tallin. Our guide Thomas showed us all the highlights of this historic medieval city. Loved that the city has bike lanes that made us feel safe. Thomas was very accommodating and made sure we were always within his sight and he took into account our age! We had time to stop and get a coffee and cinnamon bun at a local indoor market. Really lived the integration of old and new architecture and the fascinating history of the city!
