day trip to tallinn from Helsinki - This trip was a full day. Guide met us at the ferry terminal with a car on the tallinn side of the harbor and we did a walking tour of the upper and lower part of the historic old town. Saw the lovely russian church and several nice photo stops. Some lite shopping along the way. Very informative and felt we saw what we needed to see in a short amount of time. We have free time later in the day for lunch and more touring or shopping on our own. If you have limited time in Tallinn, this is a good way to see a good bit of it. Driver met us and took us back to port afterward. Was a small group (5 of us total). would recommend this for a great day trip.

A Walk Through The History of Tallinn - The history that goes with the various buildings and dates of their construction are very interesting. The ethnic backgrounds of the builders during the past are quite fascinating

It's a good value for the... - It's a good value for the money, given that transportation and a basic tour are included. For me it was great because I was in Helsinki for a very limited time and the tour helped me make the most out of it. The tour guide was nice but she could have been perhaps a bit more enthusiastic.
