Adventurous day trip to a beautiful and historic city.
Talinn is lovely, and definitely worth the investment of a long day. But be advised that it involves a lot of walking over rough cobblestone and some steep stairs. Be sure to make return dinner reservations on your way over.

Thank you very much for booking our tour and for taking the time to leave a review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your visit to Tallinn and rated the tour highly.
I would just like to clarify the amount of walking and the stairs for future guests reading this review. The bus takes guests almost all the way to the Upper Town, so there is no long uphill walk. The route includes only one staircase of approximately 50 metres, leading down from the Upper Town to the Lower Town.
The total walking distance is approximately one mile, or around two kilometres, spread over about two and a half hours. It is not a continuous walk: the guide makes frequent stops along the way, and there are many benches and places to rest.
Tallinn Old Town is historic, and many of its streets are paved with cobblestones. They have been this way for centuries and are simply part of the character of the medieval Old Town.
Of course, everyone’s level of mobility is different, and what feels easy for one guest may be more demanding for another. We simply recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, as this makes the tour much easier and more enjoyable.
Once again, thank you very much for visiting Tallinn, and I wish you many wonderful travels in the future.

An adventurous day trip
This trip is wonderful, but be prepared for physical challenges in touring the steep cobblestone alleys of Old Town Tallin and negotiating the crowded ferries. Not a trip for the faint of heart.

Dear Steven,
Thank you very much for booking our tour and for visiting Tallinn.
I would just like to point out that everyone’s physical abilities and level of fitness are different. The ferry is a very large passenger ship, with plenty of places to sit and relax. For example, you can sit in one of the cafés, order a coffee, and normally find a comfortable place away from the crowds.
As for the steep cobblestone streets, our transfer from the port takes guests directly to the Upper Old Town. From there, the tour follows streets with only a gentle slope, mostly downhill, so there is no need to walk uphill.
Once again, thank you for coming, and we wish you many wonderful trips in the future.
Best regards,
Dmitry

This is a long day but...
This is a long day but the guide made it worthwhile with her knowledge of the city of Tallin and Estonia in general. The small group of six made it easy to move around.

Lack of communication and poor customer service led to missing ferry and very bad start of my trip!
The person that communicated with me via TripAdvisor did a very poor job in letting me know when I had to be at the ferry terminal and where. I only received an email that indicated that I had to be at the ferry terminal for a start time of 9:00 am. When I showed up with my friend at 8:30 am, I was informed by the Eckero Line that I missed boarding and the ferry left early. When I called the contact number for TripAdvisor, a man who said his name was Dimitri lecture to me that I did not follow the detailed instructions sent via WhatsApp and in an August 14th email. He was very defensive and not informative or helpful, and actually very rude. Rather than helping me to attend the rest of the tour, he kept sending the same text to me over and over again telling me that I should have been at the ferry earlier than 8:30 am that morning. I looked to see if I received the email and WhatsApp communication but never did until after I contacted him that morning. Consequently, there was no way of me knowing that I should have showed up before 8:30 to catch the ferry as all I was informed of was a start time of 9:00 am. I purchased a second ferry ticket for myself and my friend on the MyStar ferry line to be able to go to Tallinn and catch up for the remainder of the tour that I paid for. Once there the Tour Guide was very nice and informative. She made sure that we received the correct instructions on where and when to catch the bus that took us to the ferry back to Helsinki. I was extremely disappointed at the lack of communication provided prior to the trip. I believe that I should be reimbursed for the 86.80 Euros that I had to spend for the ferry because of missing the first one in order to get to Tallin. I have done many TripAdvisor trips before and never encountered this lack of service and rude employee. Dimitri should not be allowed to do any customer service!!

Thank you for booking our tour.
Regarding your review, I would like to clarify several important facts for anyone reading about this experience.
Your booking voucher clearly stated that you needed to be at the ferry terminal at 8:00 AM and board the ferry no later than 8:30 AM. Unfortunately, you arrived at approximately 8:30 AM, when boarding had already closed.
The ferry was scheduled to depart at 9:00 AM, but, just as with an airplane, the departure time is not the same as the latest boarding time. If a flight departs at 11:00 AM, arriving at the airport at 11:00 AM does not mean that you can still board it. The same principle applies to ferry travel.
In addition to the information provided directly in your booking voucher, we sent you your ferry tickets and detailed boarding instructions by email approximately two weeks before your trip. We also sent the same essential information, together with your ferry tickets and boarding passes, via WhatsApp in order to make sure that you had everything necessary before departure.
We have timestamped records and screenshots confirming that this information was sent before the date of the tour.
When making an online booking, customers agree to the booking conditions and are responsible for checking the voucher and messages relating to their reservation. The required arrival and boarding times were therefore provided to you through several different channels before your trip.
After missing the ferry, you contacted us and requested reimbursement for the replacement ferry tickets. We explained at the time that there was no basis for such a refund because the original ferry was missed after the stated boarding deadline.
Despite this, we did not simply leave you without the tour you had booked.
After you purchased another ferry ticket and travelled to Tallinn, we arranged for you to join another group so that you could still experience the tour. You received the sightseeing service, a professional guide, and the return transfer to the ferry terminal. We were not obliged to rearrange the service after the original ferry had been missed, but we did so because we wanted you to be able to enjoy Tallinn and not lose the entire day.
We are pleased that you were ultimately able to visit Tallinn and that, as you also mention in your review, you had a positive experience with the tour guide.
We regret that the beginning of your day was stressful, but we believe it is important to clarify that the required boarding information had been provided in advance in the voucher, by email, and via WhatsApp, and that we still made every effort to provide the tour after the original ferry had been missed.
We wish you all the best in your future travels.

A lovely day in Tallinn
Accessing the ferry is very easy and well organized. The whole day fitted together perfectly but be aware that you will have 4 hours to amuse yourself once the walking tour finishes.

A touch of Estonia.
Guide, Sergei, was excellent. Met us at the exit from the ferry and transported by van to the old city. Wonderful overview, knowledgeable, fun, and left us with reviews of the many choices of restaurants. Pickup van for transport back to ferry right on time. Suggest getting to the ferry earlier than recommended because it is very crowded. A lot to do on the ferry...eat, shop, music, game rooms.
