    The tour was great. We first visited Catherine's Palace which was amazing. Then went to Old Town. A ton of information about a beautiful place. I would highly recommend

    Good Tour Not For Mobility Impared

    Steve_L, Jul 2026
    Your starts with a short bus ride and continues with a walking tour. The walking portion was fine unless you have mobility issues. Think Cobblestone and stairs. Guide was sweet but we had informational overload which other tourist may enjoy.

    Maria did a wonderful job. She is so knowledgeable about her hometown. She answered all of our questions and was very positive and upbeat. We enjoyed this your very much.

    A really good introduction to Tallinn

    Mike_H, Jul 2026
    There are two 2 hour sections with initial walk in parkland with Per The Great's Cottage etc (short car journey). this was conducted by Maria who was very informative. On returning to the Old Town Helena took over and did us proud, actually going over the 2 hours. 4 hours may seem excessive but in fairness this is the best way to get your bearings in this fascinating town.

    Great tour of Tallinn

    Evelina_E, May 2026
    I was waiting for the tour to start at 10:00 AM, and at 10:05 I received a message saying the tour had been canceled because the group did not reach the minimum size.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Tallin tour

    Gary_S, Sep 2025
    Mostly a walking tour. Some sights from the bus but most of the time you are walking. Cobblestone streets so if you’re not able to walk with balance you should try something else. Good tour. Knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed.

    Wonderful Guide

    Brenda_P, Sep 2025
    This was an excellent tour and our guide, Elina, provided information and context for the places we visited. She was thoughtful, informative, and enlightening in her presentation of beautiful Tallinn.

    All aspects of Tallinn

    IAN_H, Sep 2025
    Elina was great and gave a very indepth history of all aspects of Tallinn and Estonia. Also recommended places to eat. 10 out of 10.

    Tales of Tallinn with Elina

    lesley_H, Sep 2025
    This is a great tour to understand the history and layout of Tallinn. Elina our guide was very knowledgeable and made the 4 hours fun and kept us on time, not easy with a group! Gave good recommendations if you wanted to explore further.

    A nice overview of some of the outskirts plus a very thorough walking tour of the upper and lower old town.

    Maryellen_D, Aug 2025
    The half hour or more time in the park exceeded my expectations. There was much to see with palaces and designs by Peter the great. Note though that there is much walking. Our van held 18 people on that size was not allowed to come into some of the smaller closer parking lots. I was a little underwhelmed by the stop at the Abbye which I was looking forward to. There is a lot of maintenance going on with the foundations and the yards so they are all fenced off and you stand just at the entrance to the fence and look through while you hear some history About the Abbye The walking tour of the upper and lower old towns was just right. Our guide Maria was excellent.

    Great overview of Tallinn

    AnnMarie_C, Aug 2025
    A lot of information and walking, but worth it! Knowledgeable guides and understandable English. Fact filled 4 hours.

    Very History detailed about everything. Too much walking on Cobblestones. Can't think of anymore to say

    Cobblestone streets, wonderful guides

    Leslie_W, Jul 2025
    Tour guides are wonderful. They are very passionate about their town, rightly so, it is beautiful. There are cobblestone paths to walk so wear comfortable shoes.

    Excellent Tallinn Tales

    Julie_H, Jul 2025
    Excellent way to discover Tallinn and its history and culture. A good mix of guided and independent time to take photos.

    Great Introduction to Tallin

    John_G, Jul 2025
    This tour was a great introduction to Tallin. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared personal stories and experiences as we toured the city. Definitely saw more of the city than if we did it on our own. Communication before the tour was great and the small group size made it easy to get around. Arrived by cruise ship and pick up at the port couldn’t have been more convenient. Definitely would recommend this tour above a ship tour.

    So glad I booked this tour

    Colleen_S, Jun 2025
    Tallin is an amazing town and this tour was a perfect way to see it and learn some history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was quite a bit of walking so make sure you’re up for it with lots of steps and uneven surfaces.

    Excellent tour

    Mukul_B, Jun 2025
    The tour was excellent. I slept through the car part and they were so gracious in getting me to the walking tour part. Informed guides and great customer service!

    Fabulous time in Estonia

    Laura_W, May 2025
    Irina and Constantine were wonderful. She was a great tour leader very knowledgeable and met all expectations of the tour.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that Irina and Constantine made your tour memorable. We've shared your feedback with them — Irina was especially glad to know she met your expectations. Wishing you many more great travels ahead!

    Tallin Old town and beyond

    Chris_B, Apr 2025
    Our tour guide showed us that there was much more to Tallinn than old town. And she told us so much more about Estonia and it people that we could never get by reading a book. We now feel Estonia is in our minds and hearts.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you for such a heartfelt message. Your guide was truly touched by your words — she always hopes to share more than just facts, and it means the world to know that the stories and spirit of the place stayed with you. We’re so glad Estonia found a place in your hearts — and you’ve certainly left a warm spot in ours too.

    Old City and beyond

    Lee_K, Oct 2024
    Our guide, Maria, was so knowledgeable and made everything we saw interesting. She gave us the backstory and hardly took a breath the entire time. She not only gave us a walking tour of the old city but took us to some areas that we would never had seen on our own. I highly recommend the tour and especially Maria. I am a licensed tour guide and I have high standards. I would give her a 10 out of ten.

    Everything we needed. And more.

    P_H, Sep 2024
    Fascinating detail about history, culture, folklore, art and local customs. Our guide, Maria, had excellent English and answered a range of questions knowledgeably. A splendid experience, thanks Maria.

    Very informative

    Berthold_H, Sep 2025
    The tour was not limited to the old town, but also outside. Thus, the Catherine Park, the Olympic Village and the Remote Tower could also be viewed. Of course, the main part was confined to the two old towns. The guide Anastasia shone with a lot of information here.
