Tallinn Full Day Tour From Helsinki With Hotel Pick-up

Great day included private hotel pickup, a guide from ferry terminal and a very informative small group tour in Tallinn with free time before our ride back to the ferry. In Helsinki we walked back to our hotel from the ferry. Tour operator will coordinate addon if transport afterwards is desired. Ferry ride is about 2hours each way and seas were calm. May be hard to find open restaurant back in Helsinki after 9pm.

Our guide was excellent! Her knowledge, sense of humor and flexibility made the tour most enjoyable!

Old Tallin is fascinating and beautiful and well worth the visit. The arrangements for pick up and ferry were well- managed and well-communicated. The pickup driver was great; he communicated his arrival time and gave us some helpful tips. The guide was born in Tallin, emigrated to Canada, but now returned to Estonia, so he had some very interesting stories of what life was like growing up behind the iron curtain. Unfortunately, his knowledge of the history and local landmarks and statues was not as comprehensive as we would have liked. Something not in control of the tour was that we were not prepared for the party atmosphere of the ferry. Most of the seating was in one of the ubiquitous bars, and most were noisy with bingo, live music, or other “entertainment”. Because of the timing of the tour, we were forced to eat both lunch and dinner on the ferry. Food was expensive and just ok. Overall, we were glad we did it.

We had the best day in Tallinn. After we arrived by the ferry, our guide Roman was there to meet us. He was very friendly and had lots of knowledge to tell us about Tallinn. We had a walking tour and it was just my husband and myself so Roman was very comfortable with us walking at our own pace. He showed us so many things and places. We did some shopping at a shop he recommended and had lunch at a really quaint restaurant. We were very happy with our tour and romantic as our guide. I would highly recommend this tour to future travellers and Roman as their guide. Thank you Helsinki tours and Roman.

Our guide Sergei was very knowledgeable and we did learn a lot about Estonia. Our group did appreciate the extra time we had at the end of the tour. He recommended grabbing a bite at Olde Hansa (medieval restaurant). It was a trip back in time. Highly recommend this tour.

It's a long day. Not much time to explore on your own after the tour. A good way to see Tallinn in a day from Helsinki.

We had a wonderful time in the day tour in Tallinn, Estonia. The driver picked us up on time at the hotel and we arrived at cruise terminal with no issues and with our tickets already. Very easy process. Once we arrived tour guide Sergei was amazing. Great experience and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time. The arrival was smooth as well as a driver was already waiting for us when we got off the ship. Highly recommended it! Tallinn is a beautiful city. Loved it!

Easy, relaxed, informative and fun tour. Totally doable even if you’re not high energy because the walking tour isn’t difficult and you rest on the ferry. Great way to get a glimpse of another country.

I do love this tour. Thanks for this tour. Archer/Arthur (our guide) was very pleasant. He had lots of good stories about the place.

Tallinn is a beautiful city! The people re also very welcoming and friendly. This was my favorite part of my vacation!!

Exploring the old town. Seeing some places and old churches. Our tour guide Serge from Helsinki Tours was very knowledgeable and gave good information. Paced the tour well and was conscience of needs.

Excellent tour guide who drove our small group of 3 around the city with short walking excursions to see sights up close. Very informative, engaging, and responsive to questions. I appreciated how well she knew the culture and the history of the city. The only slightly negative bout the tour was that it was confusing at pickup from the hotel as the taxi driver did not identify that he was picking up for the tour. Also, getting on the correct ship without a guide was slightly stressful. But once I was in Tallinn, everything was fantastic.

Exploring Tallin with a kid is so much fun! My son loves the castles and the ice skating rink. We enjoyed the food and learned so much about the culture of Estonia. Taking the ship and getting in and out as chaotic as it can be is an exhilarating experience. Our guide was fantastic and Zoe was amazing! She guided us along the way.

The guided walking tour was very manageable, saw some of the main sites and as it was during the Christmas period ended at the wonderful Tallinn Christmas markets. The free time given was enough to visit the sites again, grab a meal or drink, explore the markets and check out the little stores.

Overall, the day-trip went well. However, after we were picked up at our hotel, our shuttle driver brought us to the wrong location. As we recognized where he was about to drop us off, we told him so. He had to make a time-consuming course correction. We had to race to board the ferry, but embarked within seconds of the gates closing. The tour company representative did apologize for the driver's error and our inconvenience. The ferry trip was pleasant. Upon our arrival, we met our guide. We traveled by bus to the former palace and the surrounding parks. Then we were dropped off in the lower portion of the Old Town. For the next five hours, every part of the tour involved walking on cobblestone streets and many sets of stairs. The tour itself was excellent, and our guide was clearly knowledgeable about her country's history and the development of Tallinn. We were picked up on time and delivered to the port for our return. Bottom line: Good tour; just be prepared for many hours of walking. You will NOT be traveling by a vehicle once you arrive at Old Town.

It was a very wonderful experience! Dmitry was incredibly informative and all the way around a down to earth guy. I learned so much and I’ll definitely be going back.

It was a highlight of our trip in Helsinki and Tallinn. Marie was so knowledgeable and could hold a very decent conversation with depth. We had a very good one day trip here. And we decided to visit Estonia for our next journey. The taxi driver was very kind to give us a brief tour when we came back to Helsinki. It did save us a lot of time on transportation. The whole experience was 5 starts for sure.

The guide was not the best part of the excursion; he knew a lot but mixed history with personal stories and was very rushed, leaving us without understanding anything.

A whole adventure from taking the ferry. It takes about 3 hours to arrive, I don't know if it's worth the time of the ride against how long it takes to visit the place.

A trip to see another country in one day only makes it very interesting. They come pick you up from the hotel with a simple taxi you have the tickets just need to check in at the port and then the guide is waiting in Tallinn to get to know the city. Irina was really wonderful. The city is charming too. You have plenty of time to see her and yourself. The ship was also excellent. The negative is that it is not within the price that this return should be. Generally it's an excursion that's worth taking

Muy bien todo. Anatoly, el guia, te cuenta muchas historias y curiosidades sobre la ciudad y el país. Una visita guiada muy completa! 100% recomendada!

Una buena organización por parte del guía para realizar la visita a pie. Comenzar el recorrido desde la parte alta de la ciudad para ir descendiendo.

La ciudad antigua maravillosa con una iglesia ortodoxa impresionante. Unos lugares espectaculares y muy buenos restaurantes.
