An excellent introduction to all aspects of life in Tallinn and Estonia generally. Covered more recent history, relationships with key countries, showed us the different styles of buildings and key historical sights. Well paced and some good anecdotes and facts. Excellent English and dealt with all questions well.

Our guide Katre was excellent and so knowledgeable. She explained and took us to all the key points in the old town and nothing was rushed. Small group definitely a way too go. Great experience Stephen and Georgia from Australia

Fred_G, Aug 2026

Herrman is a very knowledgeable guide. Provides a lot of history about Tallinn and Estonia. In addition to sights in old town he took us to modern area outside the old town which was amazing and which we would never visit if not for this tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Herman was outstanding!

xiaoli_y, Aug 2026

Herman was an outstanding guide. His informative and entertaining manner was well received and he covered all questions with super knowledge and insights about Tallin and Estonia. With my poor hearing, I really appreciated his enunciation and strong voice and excellent English.

Hermann went above and beyond to create a phenomenal educational tour

Glenn_E, Aug 2026

Extensive, educational, individual walking tour by an experienced, knowledgable guide. Hermann was in the top 1% of all guides I have had. His depth of knowledge, willingness to share detailed historical and cultural insights, and lived experience through the drastic changes in Estonia over the past several decades made this a tour to remember. Thank you, Hermann, for an extraordinary experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

"Top 1% of all guides" is about as high praise as it gets, thank you! Glad Hermann's depth of knowledge and firsthand experience through Estonia's changes over the decades made this such a memorable tour. We'll be sure to pass this along to him! Thanks for joining us at Amitylux.

Great walking tour of Tallinn

Carla_F, Jul 2026

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.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

What a wonderful review, thank you for sharing this! It's great to hear Herman brought so much Estonian history and culture to life as you explored the seaport, upper old town, and lower old town together, and what a great tip too, doing this tour on arrival really does set you up perfectly to explore the rest of Tallinn on your own. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Herman, thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back soon!v

Marta was very nice and knowledgeable , but tour was slow

Diana_K, Jul 2026

It was quite slow paced And very dofficult to here of all the viatpir a walking towards iwe have taken This was my least favorite because we stood around so much and couldn’t hear a lot of the information

Response from Host, Jul 2026

We're sorry to hear this tour didn't quite meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Our public tours are designed to cover as much of the city's key sights as possible within the time given, which naturally means keeping a certain pace to fit everything in. With a full group of 10 guests with varying paces and physical abilities, we understand this made for a more uneven experience at times, and we're sorry you found it difficult to hear some of the information along the way, that's something we'll work on, including making sure our guides project a bit more for larger groups. It's worth noting that we did receive positive feedback from other guests on the same tour, which suggests the group dynamic played a part here too. That said, your feedback is valuable and we'll take it on board to help improve the experience for larger, more varied groups going forward. Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future.
