It's pretty fast paced,... - It's pretty fast paced, but gives a good overview of upper old town. Easy pick up from and return to ferry terminal. About 2-1/2 hour guided tour and 3 hours on your own.

Great Day Tour and perfect logistics - This was a well orchestrated tour. Pick up and drop off or punctual, and there was a perfect mix of tour guide and opportunity to explore on your own. The tour is relatively walkable, however, it should be noted navigating strollers or with walking aids may be a bit more difficult. Our tour was on a Saturday so the evening ferry ride back provided a wonderful glimpse into the local usage of the ferry as a means of shopping and nightlife activity (as there was a series of concerts across the ship).

This trip is a must when visiting Helsinki - Wonderful experience. The Ferry to Talinn was so much fun. it was like a mini cruise ship! Live bands, dancing, Bingo, Karaoke, entertainment, restaurants, bars, buffet and a massive duty free shop where people were buying liquor by the cart full. Our guide met us in Talinn and the transfer to the old town was easy. Julianna was super knowledgeable and the 3 hour walking tour was very informative! Love the history, lots of beautiful sights and scenery. Might be too strenuous for some, there is a lot of walking up and down hills on cobblestones. We had 3 hours to shop and dine on our own. We are big fans of the cafe culture and loved sitting in the square with a cold beer at an outside table. The transfer back was right on time. And the ferry back was fun with a great live band and dancing!

Beautiful day in Tallinn - Wonderful day in Estonia! Door to door service. The ferry ride is at least two hours each way so be prepared for that. Tallinn is a beautiful place. Our guide, Julia, was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining! Do not miss this experience!!

Take this tour! - This tour is a must do. Estonia is an incredibly unique location with fabulous architecture and a fascinating history. The guide and the tour planning were excellent. Everything was well-organized, on time, and with clear instructions. The guide was friendly and helpful, and very good at explaining the history and the architecture in an engaging way. Also, there are lots of gift shops and the prices are reasonable. The ship was very nice as well. I can’t say enough about it. I highly recommend this tour.

Pretty and informative day trip - The whole process was so smooth and easy which made the day trip so pleasant. Our tour guide Anastasia was knowledgeable and explained the history of the town and the country. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Estonia is so pretty and well worth the day trip from Helsinki.

Good way to see Tallinn in a day - This is a solid tour. It’s a hassle free way to go spend a day in Tallinn and they take care of everything from the transfers to the ferry ride to the city tour. We covered a lot of ground and had a great visit in the old town. Tallinn has an old world charm to it and city has done a great job of maintaining the older buildings. Our guide in Tallinn was adequate but sort of low energy. She did a good job of explaining the sites and explaining where we needed to be and at what time.

Disappointed - Could have been done in half of the time. Nothing special, too much travel time, guide was not flexible to understand needs and offer alternatives. Staying in Helsinki would have been much better.
