Awesome Stories and Amazing Sights! - An awesome walk through the old city with amazing stories told by our wonderful guide, Maria. She brought the city to life with great stories of the past, filled with small fascinating details, like the different door knockers and the little post of shame, that we would have missed with a guidebook. It was like touring a treasured home of with a new friend and her love for her city was warming on an otherwise chilly day. Highly recommend the tour and Maria.

History of lower and upper towns. - In 1.5 hour I got a private toure about history of Tallinn old towns, both upper and lower parts. All history information was new to me, and very interesting. The tour guide spoke fluent english, so understanding was not an issue. Excellent locations for taking memorable photos.

Captivating Old Town Tour - My guide was truly wonderful. At each location she wove the intricacies of Estonia and Tallinn history into an intriguing story. Well worth the expense but time flew by so quickly. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
