Day Trip to Tallinn, Estonia - Day Trip to Tallinn, Estonia
We enjoyed a wonderful day trip to Tallinn, with pickup and drop-off included in the tour. Ulla provided excellent service from start to finish, keeping us well informed from the time of booking through to our return to the hotel. Having transfers included made everything so much easier, especially as we don’t speak the language and the ferry port was some distance from our hotel.
On arrival in Tallinn, we were met by Julianne, who was fantastic. She set a comfortable walking pace, shared fascinating insights into Tallinn’s history, and allowed us plenty of time to take photographs.
Ulla stayed in contact throughout the day, and when we arrived back at the port, our driver was waiting to take us back to our hotel. Overall, it was a very well-organised, informative, and enjoyable experience. We would most definitely recommend this tour very highly.

Easy way to see another country in one day. - Everything was taken care of from our pickup to our ferry ticket. The tour company stayed in touch through text the whole time, which made it easy to anticipate what was next. On top of the walking tour, you also have plenty of time to explore Tallinn on your own. I did this tour in the middle of February. And although it was cold, it was worth every minute.

Fantastic tour of Tallinn, Estonia! - Wow!! What a fantastic tour we had in Tallinn, Estonia, from Helsinki! It was fabulous!! The transfers to and from our hotel were smooth and timely with very nice drivers. Our guide in Tallinn was knowledgeable, had excellent English, and a good sense of humor. Although the weather was challenging, our guide arranged for hot beverages and a warming stop at unique, cozy places with wonderful lunch recommendations at the end of the tour. The snow made the trip just that much more special! Outstanding, fantastic tour that we’ll always treasure!!

Great adventure - The hotel transfer and ferry ride was very smooth. We had only arrived in the early hours of the morning so thought the later start would be best. Not a good choice when making the best of our gift and battling jet lag plus early store closing on Sundays. Great historical knowledge shared by our guide but be prepared to go back through the areas to collect souvenirs and more pictures.

Good tour but highly overpriced. - The tour and place was really good, but the cost doesn't justify the inclusions. The driver picked us up and dropped at ferry station the return ferry cost not more than 40 Euros, even if we had taken private taxis...for 4 of us the per person cost would have been less than 6o Euros. The short guided tour at Tallin wasn't worth all the extra paid.
