Itinerary
The medieval-era Great Coastal Gate (Suur Rannavärav) and Fat Margaret tower (Paks Margareeta) were built not only to defend the city from the seaward side of town, but also to impress any visitors arriving via the harbour.
Tour starting point is City Bike.
Visitors can see beautiful, manicured gardens and flowerbeds here, but most of the park has retained the look of the natural landscape, with meadows and forest groves.
This grand, baroque palace built for Peter the Great in 1718 now houses the Art Museum of Estonia's foreign collection.
This sprawling event venue in Kadriorg holds a special place in Estonians' hearts as the birthplace of the Singing Revolution.
The Maarjamäe memorial depicting the journey of the victims of communism is dedicated to Estonian people who suffered the terror of the Soviet regime.
This striking monument on Kadriorg’s shore is a memorial to those lost when armoured ship Russalka sank in 1893.

So happy we booked this tour. We've been to Tallin before and glad to return with a much better experience! Roland was amazing. We had about 9 people and he paced it perfectly, giving us the history along the way. He was professional with a great sense of humor which we all appreciated. Would refer anyone wanting to get out and see more of Tallin than old town - great experience!
It was by far the best tour ever. Roland has a fantastic knowledge of Tallinn and its history, and shares lots of interesting insights. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to really get to know the country and its people from a local’s perspective. We could have carried on driving with Roland and listening to him for hours!
Excellent way to explore Tallinn beyond the old town. Great way to learn about the history of Estonia. Suggestions included for ongoing visit.
Thank you for the feedback Tallinn has 45 km of seaside and lot of areas to explore. On our tours we ride 10-15 km and it will take us 2-3 hours with stops.

Thank you for the feedback. No race, stops and relaxed atmosphere. We have tested other tours in other cities and adjusted our tours accordingly. Suitable for everyone who can ride a bike.
My husband and I took the city bike tour with Thomas. He was a great guide who gave us many facts about the lovely city of Tallinn. The riding was easy and the bikes were fine. It was good to leave the old part of town and see more of the city. It was a fun tour!
