The tour bus dropped us in the upper town with our guide, and we leisurely walked through into lower town, with plenty of stops for pictures. Our guide, Vedrik, was very personable and interesting, with a lot of historical knowledge and interesting stories and humor that even kept our 10-year-old engaged. There is a decent amount of downhill walking on cobblestone or tiled sidewalk so you are aware. We had about 1.5 hours at the end to explore on our own before the bus came, or you could take a taxi back to port if you were ready to leave. Great city to explore!

Great tour with knowledgable engaging guide. Recommendation for lunch was great. No negatives- much better with a small group.

Pros - our guide was Miley and she was very good. Very knowledgeable and spoke in excellent clear English
Cons - had this tour booked for weeks. Booked the 10.15am tour and with less than 24 hrs notice they emailed to say this was not available and that only 9am was available. This left us very little time to make alternative arrangements if we needed to. We had to speed walk from the ship to the city gates in time for the bus leaving!
We arrived back at the bus 20 mins early as it was freezing cold but the driver would not let us on the bus and basically sent us off walking again. Crazy!!

Thank you for your kind words about our guide. Regarding the concerns you raised, please note that the Additional Information section on your booking clearly states that the time mentioned on the ticket may differ from the actual pickup time, which is communicated via email closer to the tour date.
It remains unclear why you chose to arrive 20 minutes earlier than the communicated time. The bus you attempted to board was scheduled for a different group, unrelated to your tour or route.
We hope this clarifies the situation, and we wish you safe and pleasant travels ahead.

Tallin is a wonderful city, very beautiful and quaint. It's nice to walk around and observe the people who live there.
Jason_S, Jun 2025
Great tour. Tour guide should have some flag of some sort since there were a lwhole ot of tour groups. One person got lost, there's just a lot of small always and turns in addition to hundreds of people.

This supposed to be a 5 hour guided tour. The guide spent 2hours briefly describing what we were seeing with over half of the group not able to keep up with her. Then she left us with 2 hours of free time and sowed us where the bus would pick us up and left.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We regret to hear about your disappointment, let me address the concerns you raised:
1. In full accordance with the tour itinerary, the total duration of this tour is 5 hours, which includes transfers from the cruise port, a 2-hour guided tour, and 2 hours of free time.
2. The tour description clearly states that the tour includes significant walking and is not recommended for guests with limited mobility such as yourself. We always encourage guests to review the accessibility notes before booking to ensure the experience suits their needs.
We hope your future travels are smooth and enjoyable.

Nice short tour, bus driver drops us off in the old town, keep in mind this is mostly a walking tour thru the Old Town of Tallinn, not to difficult with a bit of up & down paths, only one bathroom break,, tour lasted about 2 1/2 hrs, than we are all left on our own for about a 1 1/2hr to explore on our own before meeting up with the bus again to take us back to our cruise ship,, all & all a nice way to spend some time in Tallinn. Only issues was meeting up with our JAT guide at the start, some confusion with the meeting point pickup and time, which seems like a regular thing with JAT tour operators as I have had the same issue with them in the past.
