The guide didn’t show up! When will I receive a refund???
We really had a great day on this trip, the itinerary was perfect and we saw a good variety of the Estonian countryside, from waterfalls to country manors. We even managed to get into the bog for a swim. The lunch was really nice and in a lovely restaurant. Paul is a great guide, he’s very informative and entertaining, we learned a lot about Estonia from him, including some good Estonian music. He modified the tour to suit the group so we got to see a lot and we never felt rushed. We’d highly recommend this tour. Cormac and Alice
Paul is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Throughout the journey, he introduced Estonian history and sights, brought us to places with gorgeous views and beautiful scenery, and took us to an authentic and off-the-beaten-path restaurant with great food and drinks. It was a long and tiring day but well worth it as we have learnt a lot more about Lahemaa National Park and the country in general.
Hi Alex, and thank you for this kind review for our day-trip to Lahemaa National Park! I am really glad you enjoyed this day with me, so did I. It was splendid time and little hikes here and there not to forget short time off for a tailored lunch at a harbor restaurant. Thanks for attending and you’re always welcome back!
Very interesting tour with a great guide. I would recommend it if you want to see more of the countryside and learn about the history of Estonia.
Thank you very much for your feedback to our day-trip to Lahemaa National Park! I am glad you liked this a bit spontaneous day we spent in the nature of Estonia. Welcome back at anytime to any of our food sightseeing tours we provide in Estonia!
A fantastic day from start to finish. Paul was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the region and took us to places we would never have had the opportunity to see otherwise. A frozen waterfall, hiking on top of snow covered bogs, authentic Estonian cuisine and villages, this trip had it all. A must-do for anyone visiting Tallinn and wanting to see the beauty of Estonia. Thank you Paul!
Hi! Thank you for your nice feedback to our day-trip to Lahemaa National Park! I am really glad you enjoyed the tour and the places visited along that, and it was my pleasure to conduct this tour to you on this nice and peaceful wintery day. You’re welcome back at anytime to attend some of our other tours when back in Estonia.
We had an unforgettable full-day trip to Laheema National Park with Paul! Our journey began in Tallinn's Old Town and took us through breathtaking stops, including stunning waterfalls, a historic captain's village, and a charming fishing village. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch at a seaside family restaurant. Paul's deep knowledge and passion for the region, along with his excellent English, made the experience even more enriching. The countryside was beautiful, and we would highly recommend this tour over and over! The 7-seater minivan was in excellent condition, and Paul’s expertise truly shone throughout the day. Thank you, Paul! Nefeli & Panagiotis from Greece
We had a great time yesterday with Paul - so many beautiful, natural sights and walking in nature. Woods, waterfall,bogs, beaches and seaside villages. Paul was very knowledgeable, friendly and overall a super guide
Thank you, Laura for this nice feedback for our day-trip to Lahemaa National Park in this nice summerly September day we had! Surely I always try to provide tours on which I’d feel as a customer equally interested on the sights and places visited. So thanks once again. You’re welcome back at anytime to attend either some of our food or craft beer tours or why not a fully tailored ones! Best! Paul

Since Saturday I warn about the dishonesty of this organizer. He planted us as recently as Saturday, August 17 and remains unreachable. The Tallinn tourist office turns a blind eye to its practices. I asked Get your Guide to remove the tour from their catalog. Especially don't book. I'm not the first. This man owes me money and I will leave my comments about him all over the web.:(

No one picked us up and the tour operator did not respond to contact from our group nor from Viator. This appears to be an issue from this company based on other recent reviews. Do not book this.
