A fair amount of walking is involved including up and down medieval steps. A lovely place to explore though.
Overall, the experience is 5 stars. I appreciate the ease of being picked up at the hotel and then being dropped off as well. The tour guide at Tallinn, Roman, was pretty good. It was hard to understand him at times, but he did a good job overall pointing things out to us. It was nice being in a small private group tour. I will say that I was a little surprised that he didn’t meet us after our free time to make sure we got on the right van / mini bus, but the meeting point was easy to find so I guess that’s okay.
Experience: very good worth to go Guide: very friendly and knowledgeable and professional Arrangement: very smooth and clear instructions
Brilliant experience - Jean the guide was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with her - highly recommended
The guide was very good and the city is beautiful, highly recommended.
Our entire day was well planned, with the transport to and from the ferry we'll done, our guide Roman was very knowledgeable, and the experience memorable.
Outstanding experience. Our tour guide was Evgenia. She explained the history of the country as well as provided insight as to the culture. I was impressed by the scenery, the buildings, the people, and the stories. Evgenia made a true difference. The pick-up and drop-off logistics were perfect. Everything happened on time and with clear signage. The ferry ride was also straightforward. The ship does offer many food options. In summary it was a great day, in an outstanding city, with wonderful people.
Our driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us at the ferry terminal. He did not speak to us and was initially abrupt when I asked if he was picking us up for the Tallinn trip. When he dropped us off I had to ask him where to go. This should not put you off as soon as we met our guide Anastasia the trip really started when we got off the 2 hour ferry crossing. Anastasia was knowledgeable and friendly. The places we visited were lovely and interesting to understand the history of Tallinn. Once the tour was over Anastasia made sure we all knew where our driver was picking us up from to get back to the ferry and which terminal we head to make our way to. We had a good length of time to enjoy the streets of Tallinn and explore on our own. We were promptly picked up on time and made on way back the ferry. When we arrived our driver sent a message to let us know he was on his way. He greeted us with a friendly smile. He asked about our experiences in Tallinn and in Finland. He was very pleasant and polite which ended the trip for us incredibly nicely. We would definitely recommend the Tallinn trip.
Everyone we worked With at get a guide was fantastic! Wonderful communication and customer service. The tour was great and learned so much. Wish we had more time!
This was a great little tour that gave us a nice insight into the older parts of Tallinn. We did a one-day trip from Helsinki and the team did a fantastic job getting us there. They arranged a pickup from, and return, our hotel and clear instructions on how to get the n the ferry and where to meet upon arrival. Anastasia was our guide and as he was fantastic. She had interesting in as nights and was quite skilled at keeping us on time. Moving amongst a number of much larger tour groups, she could have a second job herding cats in a storm! The tour lasted two hours and ended with Anastasia showing us where we would be picked up. After doing that, she left (her job was done) and we got about our self-paced tour. The driver was on time and left when we were told he would leave. You have very specific times to be at the ferry and they were intent on getting us there on time. . One member of our group, who was traveling alone, did not make it to the pickup point and we left without her. I texted the tour operator so they knew and could reach out to her. We had some bad weather roll in and, as it turns out, she had taken a taxi to the ferry. All in all, a great way to get a nice walk through Tallinn. The information you get can help focus where you may want to spend more time when on your own time.
