We’re pleased to hear the tour gave you a deeper and more personal experience of Tallinn Old Town.

Bringing the medieval history of Tallinn to life through stories and context is an important part of the experience, so we’re glad it left such a strong impression. We appreciate your recommendation and would be glad to welcome you again.
