Tallinn City Private Tour: Old Town And Kadriorg

VERY informative and professional! Such a great day! So many great sites and telling us the history!

There was a mix up on the meeting point- in hindsight, saying “outside the port”isn’t specific enough. We found our guide 45 minutes after start time (we had been walking around most of that time trying to locate him). He told us he had parked ~ 10 minutes walk from where we met him. We asked him if he would go get the car and pick us up, but he said it would take too long. He was a nice person, but it felt like we were paying to do a tour he wanted to give (vs what we were interested in)- he wasn’t good at reading the room/being flexible. That being said, we enjoyed all the sights we saw.

Julia was very knowledgeable and nice. She took her time explaining the history of Tallan. I really enjoyed her tour.

A great, personalised experience. A couple of hours driving around Tallinn, seeing far more than I expected. Then an hour walking through the old town. Plenty of useful recommendations from the friendly guide.

Arthur did a fantastic job! We thoroughly enjoyed his extensive knowledge and thoughtful commentary. He was very professional and amiable. Adapted to the limit mobility issues of 2 of our group.

We had a great tour guide and experienced beautiful highlights of Tallinn. We drove to Kadiouru Park and surrounding areas then returned to visit Old Town on foot. It was a great way to experience so much in one tour. He gave a very informative and easy to follow tour. We really appreciated his sharing of personal experiences of life in Talllinn. Highly recommend! .

I booked a private city tour with Discover Estonia tours and they were fantastic from the outset. I let them know that while my parents are pensioners and mobile my Dad has a bad knee so it would need to be at a slower pace. We were assigned Artur and he was amazing from the beginning. He arrived with water which was amazing and was so patient with my Dad knowing his knee isn't so good. In 3 hours we received a WEALTH of information from Estonian history, language, education, architecture along with him answering our many questions. I would highly recommend you do the tour and if you can REQUEST ARTUR

What a wonderful stop, Tallinn was! Our guide, Irena, picked us up in her Jag! She took us to the city park where the museum and Govt. buildings are including one of Peter the Greats humble homes. Then on to Old Town which was really special. The medieval town is full of sites culminating with the town square which is wonderful. This was one of our favorite days of our cruise!!

We had a fabulous guide who took us around modern Tallin in a car and explained the more modern history of the city. Even took us to certain areas not planned like a house built by Peter the Great in the 1700’s. Then we had a long walk through the upper and lower old city. She was very knowledgeable. And we had a great time

Our Private Tour in Tallinn was a fantastic experience, largely thanks to our wonderful guide, Anastacia. She was not only knowledgeable but also had a warm, pleasant personality that made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Anastacia drove us safely and made sure to tailor the itinerary to our interests, even going out of her way to include a visit to the stunning Jägala Waterfall. Despite the change in plans, she still ensured we got to see all the must-see sights in Tallinn’s Old Town. We also appreciated her excellent recommendation for a charming coffee spot in the Old Town, which added a nice touch to our day. We're so glad we opted for the private tour and felt incredibly lucky to have Anastacia as our guide. Her flexibility, professionalism, and local insight truly made our visit to Tallinn memorable. Highly recommend!

This tour was only ok. It consisted of a lot of driving and viewing several landmarks from the car. I'd recommend selecting a few places outside of Tallinn that you really would like to see / hear about and focus on those. Otherwise, you'll find yourself doing drive-bys minimizing your experience of the locations. That said, our guide Arthur was incredibly knowledgeable of the city, history, economics, and geopolitics which leads to a 4-star versus a 3-star rating.

Roman, our guide, was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about explaining the differences in architecture of various sections of the city. The car ride, coupled with walking, was at a comfortable pace. Highly recommended!

My wife and I took this tour October 12th. Irina was a great guide. She was very knowledgable of Tallinn as it is also where she grew up. The tour of the Palace Park and Old Town were very informative. We highly recommend her and the tour.

Ramon was extremely knowledgeable about Estonian history and you could hear the pride in his voice of is country. He was very courteous and caring of where we walked, especially when it started to rain. He drove us around the newer part of the city and then we walked in the old part. We enjoyed a coffee & chat together to give us a rest from the walking. He also indicated on a map of places we would find interesting to look at when the tour finished and during the next day. He kindly took us to our hotel and made sure that was marked on the map as well. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting an up close & personal visit to Tallinn.

The tour was vary informative and our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. HOWEVER, despite multiple email confirmations about pickup time and place with one guide, he failed to show up. After making a couple of calls (done by a security guard at our cruise port since Estonian is not a language I am familiar with) to the tour operator, another guide was dispatched. The result was we started this tour slightly over one hour late. We did get the full tour experience however.

Great overview of Tallin— history of the country, Old Town, religion/churches, palace, government. Very comprehensive! Arthur was engaging and always eager to answer our questions. He is a great representative for Estonia! He also gave us some restaurant recommendations. We went to Rado— amazing! (We even went back a second time).

The guide picked us up at the pier in a car, very clean and comfortable. He was very knowledgeable of Tallinn’s history and very willing to share it. We enjoyed every minute and we highly recommend it.

We had a lovely and relaxing getting to know the wonderful city of Tallinn. The itinerary was perfect and the tour was a nice amount of time to see the best sights of the city. Our tour guide, Arthur, was just amazing. He was engaging and informative. We learned so much about Tallinn and Estonia from him. We left thinking that Estonia is such a clean country with resilient and unique people!

We had an outstanding tour of the city. Anatassia. She was one of the best guides I have ever had in traveling. She knows the right amount of information to provide. She follows up with information that you could go back places and go deeper. She is a great driver. She keeps a good pace. We throughly enjoyed our tour. We focused on architecture and history.

Too much information given about too few things. Saw much more exploring on our own time. Guide was difficult to understand. Our auto portion of the tour was quite short only venturing to the local park, walking into entrance of museum and by the presidents house. No real city tour included. Very disappointing overall

Our guide, Katrina, was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations. Highly recommend her as a guide!!

We covered a lot of ground, Peter the Great Palace, beach area, upper Tallinn, lower Tallinn.. Anastasia was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating We learned a lot about the Estonia people, the history and contemporary Estonia!!

The whole time I got well looked after, shown places of interest with my guide having great knowledge of the history of each place

2 of us went on a 3 hour City tour with guide, Dimitry. From the moment we met him in our hotel lobby, until we said goodbye in Old Town Tallin, Dimitri was professional, courteous, funny and exceptionally knowledgeable. We left the tour feeling smarter and better for having spent our afternoon with Dimitry. We HIGHLY recommend. 👍🏻

Maria was a great guide. I feel after our 3 hour tour we can now explore the city ourselves so much better with everything we learned.

Anastasia was a very good guide. She gave us a lot of Estonian history and we drove through some of the old neighborhoods of Tallinn. The town center is full of picturesque medieval buildings. Lots of photo ops. We enjoyed our time with Anastasia and recommend her. This was a private tour.

We had a wonderful tour guide Davinia (spelling?). She made the trip so good and went out of her way to accommodate our friend with a disability. She was a fountain of information regarding Tallinn and it's history. She made our tour a success despite the company's failure to provide us with transportation from the cruise ship. She personally arranged Ubers and taxis to complete our tour. She was an all-star!

As they say, the guide will make or break your tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and fluent in English, but she talked very fast and seem to rush around, even ending our tour 30 minutes early. While her information was very factual, it was not very personable. There were no stories told, only facts. She was there to pick us up at the port, and easy to find. However, as a guide should do, she never asked us if we had any questions, never asked for our input on what we wanted to see, or if we wanted to deviate from the planned tour, and she never offered to take our photos unless we specifically requested her to do so. It felt as if she were following a script, and was trying to get through the entire thing quickly. We had to ask to go inside a church, which seemed it should have been part of the tour anyway. I didn’t know what “we will drive around in a bus on the first half of the tour” meant as stated in the description, but she drove us around in her car to see things that were not in old town. The tour itself was very nice, as we got to see a lot of things, but again we felt rushed around, and ending early & abruptly left us a little befuddled. A private tour is definitely the way to go to see a lot quickly here, but I’m not sure I would recommend this guide.

What a great experience! Anastasia was an excellent guide filled with historical and current information. She took us all around Tallinn (Old Town and city) for a fun and insightful morning. We highly recommend this very informative tour.

Maria was an excellent guide. The downside was the car was much too small for 4 passengers. We were like sardines. Extremely uncomfortable!

Anastasia Raja our guide was excellent Knowledgeable articulate and educated us about Estonia,its history and pride of their achievements. We thoroughly enjoyed her company

The guide was very knowledgeable and very polite. It was a good experience and the tour of the city was very informative. Thanks

The tour was amazing. Anastasia was so knowledgeable and it was awesome to be able to see so much of the city and surrounding area. The best part too was that she was able to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see and truly made it a customizable experience. There really was not a question that we asked that she couldn't answer. She was also very helpful after the tour in helping us find a place to have dinner. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn a lot about Tallinn.

We had an amazing tour of town and Kadriorg Park with our guide, Stan. We really enjoyed hearing stories delivered with a lot of enthusiasm and he was also careful with pace to help out my older mother. We took the tram to Kadriorg but stopped at a donut shop along the way to try a donut and get some coffee. Around Kadriorg, Stan did a driving tour. It was a great day!

Guide Jelena was fantastic. Everything was organized well. Before tour communication with Dmitryj was quick and clear.

We enjoyed Dmitri’s knowledge and planned tour. He gave us lots of pointers and tips for our last day and next trip. I recommend him highly! We had a great trip .

Mati gave an amazing experience. We had no idea of the rich history and the tracing back to Medieval times. This was a private four hour tour. 2 hours driving and exploring and 2 hours walking the charming old town. Trust me when I say this is a must do and it is a true bargain!

. Highly recommended.Jelena Tokmakova is an excellent guide. She deserves all compliments. The guided tour with Jelena was a great pleasure. She has a lovely ."personality and she is a "walking book full of knowledge .

We did a private half day tour of Tallnin with Saley Tours. Our guide Daniel was excellent!!!Would highly recommend this tour guide and company!

We were a group of 8 (4 adults, 4 children) and had 4 hours with our guide Anna. The first 2 hours we explored the new town by minibus, then we had 2 hours to walk the streets of the old town. Anna was very knowledgeable and friendly and we loved exploring this beautiful city!

Friend and I did a two hour walking tour of Old Tallin with the Red Monk (aka Dimtry). The Red Monk was a great guide - entertaining and interesting. I really enjoyed being the 'torch bearer' for the tour. Dimtry regaled us with wonderful stories about old Tallin and its legends and myth. Would highly recommend this tour as a great way to see a different side of Tallin and learn about its history

Dmitry S. offered us tow tours with an Hebrew speaking guide as we requested. Alex (the guide) was a very nice, kind and inelegant fellow, he showed us Tallinn and other places in Estonia. he shared with us a very interesting knowledge about it past and present. All the members of the group were really satisfied with those tours. we highly recommend it!

This 4 hr tour, combined in driving and walking provide you with a very good perspective of Tallinn attractions out of the old city and in the Old city. It is highly recommended to start your Tallinn visit with such a tour, regardless if you are a one day or multi days visit ( we stay for 2.5 days , 3 nights). It is a very effective way to make a profound introduction to the city then to go by yourself to selected places and museums. We selected a private tour since the time table for their regular tours didn't feet our schedule. We have a tour in Hebrew (with Alex which was formidable). But they provide tours in many other languages- just ask. Strongly recommended!

<p>Dimitry was great! He was knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed his stories and insight. I would highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Dimitri was very knowledgeable and took us to all the must see places and some many would never see by following the guides. He made the day very enjoyable despite the fact it was raining and icy.</p>

Vladimir was our tour guide and speaks excellent Spanish; he is an excellent guide, he has a very broad knowledge of the whole city of Tallinn. He told me about a sweet, Plavlova, who created the Russian dancer Anna Pavlova and is delicious, also provides the marzipan and is sensational.... we really had a lot of fun while listening to all the stories of the city of Tallinn, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Very complete tour of the city first by minibus then on foot in the old town with a super friendly guide who showed us the hidden places of the city and who was kind enough to take us back to the boat in her private vehicle this which was not planned.

Carmen unser Guide hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen. Sie hat uns sehr kompetent, mit Charme und Humor, Geschichte, Zahlen und natürlich Fakten sehr kompetent geführt. Die Führung ist sehr empfehlenswert, einfach alles super !!!!!

Sehr nette Reiseleiterin, informativ, an die Bedürfnisse der kleinen privaten Reisegruppe angepasst. Vor dem Stadtspaziergang eine kurze Rundreise vorbei an den entfernter liegenden Sehenswürdigkeiten mit kurzen Stops. Ist für einen ersten Besuch der Stadt unbedingt empfehlenswert.
