We had a very comprehensive tour from Tarmi! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and answered all our questions. He took us to the mist beautiful viewing points and gave great suggestions on additional things to do in the city( museums, markets) as well as great recommendations for dining. He also followed up with links to other highlights and points of interest! Great tour from an engaging guide!

  • Discover the city with a local beside you rather than a pre-fixed itinerary

It's very personalized, and we were able to see things that I am sure we would not have seen on our own.

The Perfect Guide to Tallinn

Doug_L, Aug 2025
Lilia was absolutely outstanding as our guide in Tallinn. She had prepared beautifully, tailoring the tour to our interests with a perfect balance of history, culture, shipping, and art. Her kindness and thoughtfulness made the day feel effortless and special. We loved how she brought the city to life and shared details we never would have discovered on our own. Truly the epitome of a great guide—she made our visit unforgettable.

Great for Learning About Everything

Erin_H, Aug 2025
We had a wonderful time! We were connected with guide Lilia and she was so knowledgeable about all of the main attractions as well as sharing some of her own favorite spots. Since the tour is private you can customize it to your needs and pop in places as you go if you want to!

Exceptional walking tour and guide

Kate_S, Jul 2025
Jonathan was an incredible guide. So knowledgeable. Easily one of the best tours we have been on in any city, even in the pouring rain!

A great tour with a local

Great overview of Tallinn!

Gary_S, Oct 2024
Tarmo took us all over the city, the historic sections and the new sections. We learned about the history of the buildings, times of war, famous people, really covered a lot of territory in 4 hours, great way to spend a day in Tallinn since it was our first visit and we only had one day!

Cruise-eye view of Tallin

Nicola_I, Aug 2024
Deepak had a fascinating personal story and was totally charming. Tallin is an intriguing city with a tumultuous history and we would love to return.

Enjoyable tour with charming guide

Got a great tour of lower and upper Talinn with lots of great historical and current information from our friendly guide.

Excellent private tour

Lopa_S, Apr 2024
We had an excellent tour with Jonathan. He was very patient with a good sense of humor. It was a very cold day so we took coffee stops and still managed to have a great tour

Great Guide to a Great City

Juan_R, Dec 2023
Gianluca was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city. He took us to some awesome sights around Tallinn. My 8 year old son had a great time in the snow while we talked about history!

A great time in Tallin

Roslyn_G, Jun 2023
Anastasia was a wonderful guide - full of information and took us to places off the tourist trail. Very personable and flexible.

Wonderful!

Alex_R, May 2023
Wow! Anastasia was very informative, energetic, and everything you would want out of a tour! We did a two hour tour with her and did not give her any direction about what we wanted to see (we were blank slates)! She was interesting to listen to and checked all the boxes. We were visiting Estonia from a cruise, we just took a quick 5 min shuttle into town, then 10 minute walk to a meeting point. If you do the tour request Anastasia!

Gianluca is truly a special guide

Lisa_R, May 2022
We had a memorable day with Gianluca. His knowledge of this town and its history was superb, genuine, and he is very passionate. I had emailed a few things prior I wanted to see, and he planned our walking tour to include it all. His recommendations for our eating, snack, and shopping were excellent. From the moment we book the tour, he was very communicative and helpful. We were very happy and would fully recommend visiting this city with such a warm and knowledgeable person.
