Beautiful town - Tallinn is a beautiful town. Really enjoyed the walking tour. If you go during winter dress in lots of layers. We had plenty of free time. Transportation was very punctual.

Excellent and well organised tour of Tallinn - would definitely recommend - This was a really well organised tour. We had a change to our itinerary which was clearly communicated to us as were all the instructions. The transport from our hotel was on time and by high quality car. The driver accompanied us to the ferry terminal and helped get our tickets from the machine. It was easy to join up with our small tour group at the other end and there was very little waiting around. Our tour guide was excellent and informative and the tour was great despite the fact that it was incredibly cold. We were given lots of options of things to see, where to eat and where to shop in our free time and they were very good recommendations. The instructions for the pick up in Tallinn were really clear and again the transport was on time. We arrived back in Helsinki at 21:30 and were very grateful to be met by the same driver for the return to our hotel. We basically could not fault the whole experience.

Guided tour exceeded my expectations! - As a solo female traveler, I really enjoyed this guided tour of Tallinn. Our guide, Olana (or Olanka), was outstanding—her deep knowledge of Estonia’s past and present brought the city to life and added so much context to everything we saw. She shared history and contemporary insights in a way that was engaging, clear, and thoughtful. The entire day was exceptionally well organized. The hotel pick-up was punctual and stress-free, the ferry transport was smooth and efficient, and the return was just as seamless. It made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed, allowing us to focus fully on enjoying Tallinn. An added bonus was meeting fellow travelers along the way, which made the day even more enjoyable. Overall, this was a well-run, enriching tour that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Estonia.

We would have liked our... - We would have liked our guide to be a little more outgoing, use humor, and be more approachable. She was very nice but very sober in her expressions and stories.

Day trip to Tallinn Estonia - I was surprised that we were left to get on and off the ferry ourselves but it was a pretty simple process. The ferry was a real pleasure of a ride but you do need to make sure you are in the first half of the group getting so so you don't miss out on a table. Climb the stairs to level 6 and you will have plenty of options. Tallinn was a lovely old town to visit and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Old Town Tallinn Estonia - Fantastic History. Stunning buildings and architecture. But hope you don't get our guide. She was very bad. Waited for no one. Even though we were a small group of 10 Many times had no idea where she was. As she would walk off ahead (with that disinterested, I am doing you a favour face. We had no idea where she was. Just heard her through our ear piece. She was either having a bad day or this type of job is not for her personality.She just seemed like she wanted the tour over as quick as possible. Finntastic Walking tour, on the other hand , in Finland had a stunning, knowledgeable guide. She knew what guiding and imparting information was about and a joy to be with.
