Our tour guide Jonathan brought the city of Tallinn's history, struggles, triumphs and people to life. From an extensive history lesson within the walls of the old city, to interesting facts on the neighborhoods, Estonian culture and even tips on how to ride the tram the walking tour could not have been more perfect. Thank you Jonathan!
I wanted to share with you our wonderful experience we had with Tarmo when we were in Tallin in July 2026. Tarmo was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic 1/2 day tour (walking tour). We learned much about the history, culture, architecture, and so much more. Tarmo is very friendly and speaks excellent English. I can't say enough about Tarmo. If you are looking for a professional tour guide who knows Tallin like the back of his hand, look no further. Tarmo is the guy for you. He will show you his love for his wonderful city and country!
Tarmo, our guide, was awesome. He walked us ALL around Old Town—upper and lower. We walked over 7 miles in 5 hours, with one break for snacks and drinks. Tarmo is a native of Estonia. We have noticed recently that more and more tour guides in Europe are not natives of the cities that they are touring you through, but rather have lived there for four or five years. While they can still give a great tour, they cannot match the experiences and insights of a true native. By the end of the tour, we were already to move to Estonia. Who knew? 😉
We did the 6 hour walking tour. We walked over 9 miles! We saw and did so much but we did not feel rushed. Jonathan was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, engaging and amenable. Jonathan was able to alter the tour to our interests. He also joined us for a nice lunch where we had the opportunity to talk and learn even more about Estonian culture. If we had time, we would book another tour with Jonathan!
Jonathan the guide is very well-prepared, knowledgeable about the city, and we strolled through beautiful places. Highly recommended
Tallinn is a place worth visiting attentively. Jacobina brings you closer to every corner with simplicity and comfort, indicating the essentials and some different places to visit, eat, or drink. Additionally, it details in a link the most interesting places to visit if you have time, which is very useful. A success!
Lilia was a lovely guide and showed all around the Lower and Upper Old Towns in Tallinn. We would not have been able to learn about the culture, architecture and history without Lilia. It is such an interesting city and so well preserved for many centuries. Truly amazing place. We had a wonderful time touring Tallinn. HIghly recommend
Charming local lady gave us a great tour of the Old Town of Tallin and pointed out various places of interest and restaurants.
It was a good private tour of Tallinn where we learned a lot about houses and owners.
You need to be sure that your guide really does speak your chosen language very well. Our guide was unfortunately not at the level that would have made the tour better though he tried and my wife and I speak other languages so it worked out for us. He was in fact very knowledgeable and friendly so we had a good tour.
