Tallinn First Stop! - Paul is an amazing tour guide. If you have a thirst for knowledge of the area this tour will satisfy. Whether you find yourself in Tallinn for business or pleasure either the day trip or food tour is highly recommended to orient yourself to the culture. I learned so much during my tour which gave context to everything I saw and experienced afterward while in Tallinn. Paul also does corporate tours if you need to coordinate a custom tour that will create lasting bonds and understanding of this amazing region. Many thanks Paul!

Needed a few modifications - This was a good trip but wasn't aware there was so much walking! The guide gave us a wealth of information. We were group of older women who could not physically do that much walking. Our guide did make some adjustments to help us with the accommodations.

A special experience, beautiful landscape - Paul showed us a very beautiful side of Estonia. The landscape is impressive and diverse. The bog, the forest, the waterfall, the sea, the beautiful houses. It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun. We definitely have to come to Estonia again. Paul made an unforgettable day possible. Thank you very much.

Excellent and good value - We went in mid winter. Lots of snow. The waterfall was mostly frozen and very spectacular The Peat bog was covered with snow but still a beautiful walk. Ice in the sea and snow right down to the water. The food in a local pub and then in a manor house was excellent and a real taste of Estonia. The guide was very friendly and full of information.

Excellent Experience - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us as much as possible despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions. This tour was excellent value for money as we were able to see many sites within a relatively short period of time. The experience was beyond our expectations and I couldn’t recommend booking this more.

Scenery Spectacular; The Guide Not So Much - Our tour was to Lahemaa National Park in a van with 4 other participants. We booked through Get Your Guide so I'm not sure why this company was chosen as our provider since there was really not food involved, except a lunch with had no options and not impressive. The scenery is fantastic but our guide was not. He made no effort at all in helping people get comfortable with each other, did not speak loud enough that we could hear his narration in the van, did not welcome questions, and put in time filler at a manor but without enough time to even read the placards and arrive back inn Tallinn almost half an hour early. He guided us well through the park. We appreciated that a lot.
