Wonderful tour and guide

Priscilla_C, Sep 2025
Lena was the most amazing guide! She was knowledgeable, articulate, funny. We loved her engaging storytelling style and the way she made historic events come alive! It was like we were hanging out with an old friend.

Tallinn Ghost and Legends walking tour did not disappoint!

Nicole_R, Feb 2025
One of our favorite things to do in any city we visit is take a ghost tour, and the Tallinn Ghost and Legends walking tour did not disappoint! The tour operator, Janne, contacted us through Viator to ask what time worked best for us to take the tour. We agreed on 1700. Our tour guide, Liisi, met us in the lobby of our Old Town hotel and led us all over the cobblestone streets of Tallinn. She spoke English very well, and she did an outstanding job of telling the history and ghost legends of Tallinn's many medieval sites. Dress warm and wear comfortable shoes, because it's cold, windy, and icy in Tallinn in February.

Great Tour!!

Our guide Ray was great giving plenty of interesting information to take our minds off the freezing cold night. We learnt so much about Tallinn's history and who doesn't like a good ghost story.

Heli was an excellent tour guide, she was excited and seemed pleased to be guiding us round despite the appalling weather. You get a hot chocolate at the end from a small cafe which is delicious. Definitely recommend this tour to others.

What a great introduction to Tallinn. Lena, our guide was great. She had interesting information and she was a great story teller. We laughed about her stories as we passed by her story locations over the next couple of days. We also learned a great amount of information about life under the soviets. I have used Great a lot in this review but it really does exemplify what we felt about this. Plus, Lena took took us to a great cafe Chocolate afterwards for hot chocolate The tour really stretched into almost 4 hours. We were enthralled. What a unique, quaint cafe!! Everyone that visits Tallinn should consider this tour. She really made Tallinn's history come alive.

A fast paced and frantic tour with Helen who was full of energy and fun, trying to keep us comfortable in the sub zero temperatures. Lots of cool historical city facts mixed with the spookier tales.

Great way to see old town at night with a lot of history. Our tour guide Liina was excellent. She was easy to understand and very personable. The stories she told us helped us to understand the people from long ago Tallinn.

Sjov i mørket

Isa L, Nov 2019
Rigtig god og informativ tour. Sjove og spændende historier om byen og dens fortid, som man ikke får ved selv at gå rundt i byen. Guiden var super sød og rigtig entusiastisk om at fortælle historier. Kan varmt anbefale touren og det giver lidt mere stemning hvis man går touren når det er mørkt udenfor.
