Really nice tour of Tallinn old town. Super interesting facts and tips. The tour guide was a local which made it all the better.
the guide was wonderful…knowledgable…easy to understand and willing to answer questions..liked very much that it was a small tour … thank you for memorable experience..
Great way to find out more of the history of Tallinn and to see all of the sights. Small group the day we did the tour so easy to see and hear all the information.
This was a wonderful experience, a small group led by an excellent guide…he shared history, information, facts, insights into the city’s culture and so much more. It is great to hear a well informed local, with great English share stories about both his town and country. He answered our questions and shared local anecdotes, we definitely recommend this guide.
Andres is an amazing tour guide! The tour itself was a pleasant mix of historical facts and insights into today’s society and politics of Estonia and Tallinn. We highly recommend Andres‘ tour if you are in Tallinn and want to learn about this beautiful city (and also laugh a little).
Our guide was really excellent. He was so knowledgeable about his City and even had a folder with him showing us pictures at most stops to show us what the person looked like or examples of paintings inside the building. We would not have found a lot of the spots he took us too on our own. Would definitely recommend, we are so cross with ourselves for not remembering his name as he deserves so much credit
Andreas was great - friendly, prompt and very knowledgable. Really engaging with the group. Learnt so much about the Old Town and sights. Thank you
Very good and interesting experience. I learned a lot with this tour and I strongly recommend if you are coming to Tallinn. The your guide is very knowledgeable about Tallinn history and he knows what he's talking about. The tour is long enough (not too short, not too long) and I have appreciated to be able to ask questions whenever I felt the need to (depends on the size of the group though, I imagine). Great tour! Also very understandable for a foreigner (I'm French 🇫🇷 <-- 🇪🇪).
Amazing your! My guide really knew what he was talking about. Was able to answer all my questions. Learned a ton. 10/10
Andreas was a great guide. Knowledgeable and personable. He was born and raised in Tallinn and had lots of great recommendations on what to do/where to eat in Tallinn.
Great tour of old town Tallinn highlighting the Upper and Lower parts of town. The guide is a Tallinn native with local knowledge.
Our guide, Alex(sp?) did a superb job showing us all the highlights of the Old City of Tallinn. His stories and knowledge of Tallinn’s history really enhanced our hour-long walking tour. Great way to see Tallinn on a day trip from Helsinki.
Great tour to get an insite to Tallin history and to see the sights of the old town which you can go back and visit at your leisure.
Andres was amazing, so knowledgeable and had great restaurant recommendations. It was a great way to see the city in a short amount of time

Great short tour with a knowledgeable tour guide that myself and a friend did. Got a lot done in one hour
Very good tour with a very good guide who made the tour both interesting and amusing. Just the right length of time for time of year.
