Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide - Our guide, Katerina was very knowledgeable about Tallin. She told us very interesting facts about the city, country and its history. It was really cold so only recommendation would be to have more stops inside. I would recommend this tour!

Winter in Old Town - I'm not a big fan of crowds so going in winter was ideal for me. There were only three other people on the tour with the cobble stones and snow old Town looks very pretty in the winter. We had time to stop for mulled wine as well that was delicious.
