Thousands of Happy Customers

"great guide and super cool insights".

We booked the guided tour to Laheema National Park as part of a company excursion. Everything went very smooth and well organized. Our guide was very well informed and gave us wonderful insights into the local culture and history. It was a really informative and relaxed tour and i can highly recommend it. Many thanks to Marju for this great experience!

"Wonderful day trip!"

I highly recommend taking this tour to experience a bit of Estonia in addition to Tallinn. We saw natural beauty of the waterfall, the bog, the coastline, had a local lunch, and came to know quite a bit about life and history in Estonia. Our guide Kert was super - felt like a day out among friends.

"Great way to see the country side on way to Riga!"

We had a wonderful day trip with our tour guide, Laura. She taught us about Baltic culture, history and traditions. We saw some historic sights, nature and had a wonderful lunch. Thank you Laura for a great experience. We would definitely book again.

"Amazing Eastern Estonia / Narva Tour"

Sten was amazing on our private tour. He is so full of knowledge and provided an in-depth history of Estonia and the roles Germany and the Soviet Union and Russia played along the way to Narva. Even in winter, the tour was well worth it.

"Best of Tallinn"

We had a great time with Thomas our guide. It was really fun and his knowledge was excellent!!

"Fatastic day"

The tour was absalutely fantastic. I highly reccomend it. A brilliant way to get from One City in one country to another. The tour included 3 castles, a national park a military museum and a bobsleigh track a fab mix of things. We were a small group of 4 plus the tour guide which was a good size fore me. As a solo traveller it was lovely to have a whole day spent with other travellers and not have to do the planning I just had to enjoy it. Our guide Mike was lovely really easy going told us lots of info about each place and interesting personal history too. Its really great value for money amd pretty much the highlight of my trip so far.

"28 September 22 Tallinn to Riga"

Fantastic! Mike is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, good at explaining the culture, and history etc. The ride was comfortable and Fun, singing sessions along the way and some of us took turns to be DJ! The sights was fabulous 👌 Believe me you get more than what you bargain! Thank you Mike, Traveller and the 3 fabulous girls ❤❤❤. Susan Low Singapore 🇸🇬

"Lahemaa national park is a must-see for anyone visiting the country"

We spent a wonderful day visiting incredibly preserved natural spaces in the company of the best guide

"A trip with friends :)"

I had the chance to take part to the tour even if they hadn't reached the minimum number of people. They were so kind to do it anyway and I was very happy about that. Kert is very friendly, well-prepared and easy-going. It was like spending a day among friends.

"Great overview of Tallinn"

Raimo is a historian with a terrific sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable and able to answer all kinds of questions. He is an engaging speaker that brings history alive. His English is so good I had a hard time believing he was Estonian and not American!

"Great tour"

Two 19 year olds, really enjoyed this tour our guide was great and definitely would recommend.

"Estonia‘s nature at its best!"

The tour was wonderful to experience Estonia‘s nature and to see something outside of Tallinn. We were really lucky with the weather so an overall amazing experience, from the hike through the bog, to the old manor and the walk on the beach! Our guide was great and really tried to show us as much as possible as well as share local knowledge with us. A great day trip, lots of fun and also relaxing because the walking part was doable for anyone.

"Sten the Man!"

I had a great time on the Tallinn-Riga bus tour. Stops included a couple castles, a cave, a national park, a bobsled track, and lunch at a really fantastic restaurant. Sten was a welcoming and funny guide. This is a great way to see parts of Estonia and Latvia that you will miss if you only hit the major cities--I highly recommend it!

"Best Tour Ever"

This was one of the BEST tours I've ever been on. The knowledge of our guide Lomas, 21, was amazing! He made the day fun and relaxing with plenty of interesting stories. I highly recommend booking this tour! You will gain more insight into the Estonian and Latvian countries from a local's perspective.

"The best way to go to Riga"

I didn't expect anything, just a drive to Riga. But in the end, all group was having so much fun and we have seen really interesting places in Estonia and Latvia. In the end, but no less important, Liine is one great guide, so nice, professional and full of knowledge.

"Surprisingly brilliant tour"

Six of us did the tour on Monday with the wonderful guide, Mia. Young but incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, Mia took us under the skin of Tallinn and we tried Russian food (soup and the ubiquitous potato salad), fabulous ice cream, different meats and bread, flavoured cream cheeses, fish salad, a traditional dessert and liqueur! All for €49 in 3.25 hours. Great value and we learnt so much about Estonian history as well as food traditions and local delicacies. We would never have found the food halls which were well worth a visit- we revisited for street food lunch the following day! Highly recommend the tour.

"So beautiful, wish we got lost in the park"

Marju was a great guide and host; she has a fresh and positive energy and is very knowledgeable of Estonian history and culture. The sights visited were beautiful... a taste of Estonia beyond Tallinn, which makes you want to see more of this enchanted country.

"We loved this tour! Wonderful guide"

This was such a fantastic way to travel from Tallinn to Riga, while seeing sights in between. All these sights were locations we had heard about, but ones that we could not conveniently visit on our own. This tour gave us a little bit of time at all of them, all while learning from our guide about history and about her country, Latvia. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

"The side of Estonia I needed to see"

I am really glad I got to do the national park tour. Tallinn's old town seems to be getting the global attention for being one of the most underrated travel destinations, but I would say I was even more blown away by the nature (beautiful bogs) and the small fishing village of Estonia. My guide Kert was very knowledgeable, friendly and very funny! I felt that I could get a better perspective of life in Estonia/ Tallinn. I would recommend this tour to anyone about to visit Tallinn. This tour was the highlight of my trip! It really made me want to come back to explore the country/culture more. Thanks again Kert!

"Very special tour"

Thank you so much for an amazing journey into the past Soviet history of the country. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

"Fantastic day tour!"

Probably one of the best tour we made. The guide was really interesting and the place we visited absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!

"One way ride to Mazsalaca"

We travelled from Tallin to a small town in Latvia’s north, Mazsalaca. 5 of us and our guide Liine through a wintery, dramatic landscape. It was one of the best trips ever because as we drove Liine gave us a history lesson that was so wonderful and clear and interesting that even the teenagers were enthralled. Suddenly we were no longer just in a bus, we were part of the crusades or part of the war. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we looked at the world around us with new eyes. I would have gladly turned around and done the trip once more that same day. That’s how good it was. Thank you so much Liine and your wonderful company, I can not recommend you highly enough. Simply brilliant .

"Our guide Kert was amazing"

It was the most exciting national park that I ever visited!

"Had a lot of fun with Maria"

We had a lot of fun with our guide Maria. Maria is the perfect guide, she knows a lot about Tallinn and can even tell some funny stories. We can recommend a guided tour through Tallinn with her! Thanks again! 😊

"Learned a lot of things we couldn't find in books"

We went on free walking tour with Heli. She was so knowledgeable and humorous. A lot of things that we learned from part of her research and we couldn't find them in books. It was really worth talking this tour. Hats off to Heli. This proved the point when saw the number of visitors who joined the tour yesterday. She deserved at least a fiver from each.

"Learned the Estonian way of greeting close friends "

We did the free tour through Tallinn on a Sunday and Henri was a very good guide, concise, funny and told very interesting stories, knew the answer to all the questions and gave us insights into the town and people -- like the Estonian way of greeting close friends (by looking away and maybe grunting "Tere!"). We had thought it had something to do with us up to that point! And we are from Germany... Glad to have that cleared up. Henri was very open and friendly and I can honestly say the 2 hours went by in a flash. Thanks, Henri!

"Made me appreciate the little things and events that may change the history"

Went on a free tour of Tallinn Old Town with Heli. She is amazing, professional, funny and enthusiast. Had the opportunity to get to know some interesting facts and stories that are not written in official guides. Heli made me appreciate the little things and events that, as she says, may change the history (to quote her 'never mess with the Finns'). I definitely recommend a tour with her.

"The best day of our holiday"

We went on the Lahemaa National Park tour with Jevgeni, and would highly recommend it. Jevgeni was friendly, informative and funny throughout the tour (so much so that someone else not on our tour wanted to film him telling a joke he'd just told us because we were laughing so much!). We really enjoyed the tour; it was the best day of our holiday. Thank you Jevgeni!

"A wonderful day on the Narva tour"

A massive thank you to JJ. I learnt and saw a lot in one day. His local knowledge and anecdotes made it a memorable day. If you want to see the side of Estonia not usually seen by tourists, then this is the tour for you. Also thank you to Marii, for suggesting the tour for me. To sum up; great value, great lunch, great guide and most of all a tour that does exactly what it says. See you next time.

"Without doubt, this is the best way to get between the two cities"

We did the Tallinn to Riga tour at the end of September and had Kris as our driver. I have to say this was one of the highlights of our trip to the Baltics and all four of us (Tom, Tim, Michael and me) would like to pass on our thanks to Kris for passing on so much of his knowledge in a friendly and engaging manner. We covered the history of the areas, visited some stunning sights and had some great conversations along the way. Without doubt, this is the best way to get between the two cities. Best of luck with the photojournalism Kris!

"Martin is certainly the best in his domain and great guide"

During my recent visit to Estonia, I decided to take up the bus tour from Tallinn to Riga. Our guide was Martin, who is friendly, kind and full of knowledge. So far I could understood based up on my experience, you can ask him any questions on history, science, economics, local culture/tradition, food, politics, hidden stunning destinations… in short your best partner in travel. He answered patiently to everyone’s query during our road trip along with his sweet smile. He is certainly the best in his domain and great guide to show you around. Highly recommended!! Thank you Martin for your time and sharing your knowledge.

"Olga's knowledge of the area was amazing and made the place come to life"

While in Tallinn, we took the Coastal Cliffs and Soviet Paldiski tour, we had a wonderful day with Olga, our guide who could not have been more helpful. Her knowledge of the area was amazing and made the place come to life. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant! Olga was great, we need her right now in St Petersburg. Take the trip you will enjoy it!

"Learned so much about the Baltic history, culture, and customs."

The tour with Jaan-Kristjan from Riga to Talinn was the best part of our Baltic vacation. Jaan was outgoing, polite, and knowledgeable as a historian-in-training, with a great sense of humor. We not only saw the beautiful countryside of both Latvia and Estonia on the way, but also learned so much about the Baltic history, culture, and customs. Thanks Jaan for the memorable experience and we hope to see you again when we go back to Estonia in the future!

"If you go to Tallinn, this tour should be in your program."

It was an amazing day in the Lahemaa National Park with Kert. He is a professional guide with a lot of knowledge of Estonian history. He tells with passion and humor and brings a lot of personal experience with it. The national park is really amazing and wonderful place and if you go to Tallinn, this tour should be in your program.

"Book your cruise shore tour with them"

Our family of 6 wanted a tour where we could walk the old city and also see other sights like the summer palace. In addition, we had special dietary needs. John (getting his Master's in History) was such an amazing host. He met us off the ship and both drove and walked us around. He brought us to a great restaurant for a gluten free lunch. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. Don't hesitate to book your cruise shore tour with them. Much better than what is offered on the ship.

"Had a great time on the Funky Bike Tour"

We had a great time on the Funky Bike Tour of Kalamaja. Our guide Maria was enthusiastic and friendly. She gave us so much information about Estonia, she patiently answered our plethora of questions, and she paced the tour so that it was interesting and active for us parents and our two teen daughters. Our kids loved it! Maria even brought us Estonian candy, sharing it at just the moment when we all needed a sugar hit! The biking was easy and the day, beautiful! We would highly recommend the tour and Maria as a guide!

"Loved the break from museums and historical sites"

Traveller Tours and Lline, our guide, were incredible. Booking was easy and convenient (all via email). We picked the Lahemaa National Park tour and Lline allowed us to make some modifications based on our interests. The national park was beautiful and my children loved the break from museums and historical sites. As we traveled through the the forest and bogs, Lline did a magnificent job telling us stories of Estonia, it's myths and legends; she pointed out flowers, moss etc. used in traditional medicine. It was absolutely wonderful! We then went to visit an abandoned soviet submarine demagnetization base. Lline's descriptive narrative made the base come alive - it was eerie yet fascinating. Our next stop was lunch at a great local restaurant near the Old Town, free from the mass of tourists. We then went on a walking tour of the Old Town. Lline pointed out interesting things in the city that we would have missed had we gone on a self guided tour. We ended our day knowing more about Estonia, appreciating its history and culture and yearning to return for more. Of all the tours we took on our Baltic cruise, this was by far, our favorite. Tip: Estonia has the highest quality handmade items and the prices are very reasonable. This is the place to buy unique gifts.

"I have no words, you just have to try this"

Did the husky experience. I don't have the words, you just have to try this. The Dogs were so awesome and super friendly and cute huskies (from all over the world, as we were told. The one I got was from Latvia, her name was Enna) and the family running the place was so nice and welcoming. Ploughing through snow with dogs is somehow a primal experience. At the end of it we were exhausted but super happy. A must activity in winter!

"Very professional and well-organized"

I wanted to visit several places in Estonia, to find out more about my mother's homeland but was confident enough to drive myself, so I went on a private tour. Anneli was fantastic organising the details of the day and my tour guide JJ made the day do special, I will never forget it. Tartu was the main town we visited but we also stopped at Laiuse and Poltsamaa and a windmill at Kuremaa. JJ had researched all the places we stopped very thoroughly. The tour of the printing museum in Tartu and visiting the university there were both special to me. The tour was over 12 hours and I couldn't have done it otherwise. I highly recommend Tallinn Traveller Tours, they are very professional and well-organized which is what you want when you are on holidays in a different country.

"Very professional tour company with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff."

In August 2015, we (4 adults) used Tallinn Traveller Tours to organize appx. 7 hr tour of Tallinn with Katlin. We had an excellent time! Tallinn Traveller Tours took the time to organize a private trip and answer countless of emails and questions. The company was able to organize a fantastic tour, according to what we wanted to see and learn about. Katlin was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and full of energy! Although our tour had officially ended, she still took us to one more place (the Song Festival Grounds) because she felt it was important for us to see this historical place. We were so grateful for this! Our tour included a van, which was new and clean. There were water bottles waiting for us in the van. During the tour, we decided not to go to one of the planned museums. The company refunded the money right away without any hassles and without us having to remind them. Overall, Tallinn Traveller Tours is a very professional tour company with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

"Definitely recommended!"

I took their first day trip to Riga and I'm so glad I chose that option instead of the normal 5 hour bus. The Estonian and Latvian countryside is so beautiful and I would have missed it all, since this trip follows an alternative road to Riga. Thank you so-so much Tallinn Traveller and Mart for the great day.

"I couldn't have asked for a better experience"

What an amazing company, with amazing tour guides! I was lucky enough to experience a personal tour, during the winter season with three guides, as they were creating a new tour to bring in for the summer season. Spent the day exploring several hidden spots of Estonia. Highlights included the Padise monastery, Haapsalu & Ungru Castle. Each guide was full of interesting information about each place we visited and definitely have a real love for Estonia. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a lone traveller. Thanks guys!!

"Tallinn surprised us"

First of all because we did not expect such a wonderful city and furthermore because we never had such a great guide before. Heli: We absolutely thank you for the best tour ever and a great time in a great city! We highly recommend this tour to everybody visiting Talinn and surely will come back to see some more and sing and dance along with the Estonians!

"Will not hesitate to book again"

We arranged this excursion on the Internet as an 'off ship' excursion on 14 May 2013. It was excellent on every level, highly professional, personal attention from a very pleasant young man with stacks of knowledge. We would highly recommend this company to anyone and will not hesitate to book with them again particularly as it represents very good value for money apart from anything else.

"Amazing trip"

When we first saw advertising posters of tours offered to Lahemaa national park, we didn't even think about doing one. After a few days we had to admit that it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to get to Lahemaa national park without a private vehicle. So we decided to do this trip. Mart was our guide and showed up in a very good mood in the morning to pick us up. He was very friendly the whole day, brought us to beautiful places and told us a lot about Estonia. We felt like having a local friend showing us the best places of Lahemaa. Without him we could never have found all the places. One of the highlights was the Kasmu Maritime Museum, run by an Estonian family who served us an amazing lunch and guided us through the museum. Also scenic walks and spectacular nature views we had - all that accompanied in a group of 4 persons, very flexible and individual. PERFECT!! Bottom line: DO IT! Thank you Mart for this amazing trip!!

Ann was a very nice tourguide with a good vibe that provided us with the information you need to have an enjoyable stay in tallinn! She did not only talk but also actively deal with us when we had questions or remarks. Thanks a lot for this!

"A great day, personal and memorable experience"

This was my 8th visit to Tallinn and although I don’t usually go on organised trips we came across Tallinn Traveller Info by chance and signed up for the Paldiski tour. What a great day we had and our tour guide Kalev, I have to say, went the extra mile to make our experience a more personal and memorable one. I’m planning my next visit Tallinn in the spring of 2012 and hope to go on the Lahemaa National Park trip.

"A very relaxing day out"

We made an amazing daytrip to the Western coast. Kalev, our guide (and owner of the company), drove us around the whole day. He was willing to answer all our (stupid) questions and told us everything we wanted to know about Estonia en the sights we were visiting. Kalev was a really fun guy to go with and he made our daytrip a very relaxing day out!

"Definitely a "must do" in Tallinn"

Fantastic tour - from the friendly and helpful service in the office to our guide, Mart., and all that we saw. The small group, flexibility in the itinerary, the excellent driving and great knowledge of our guide, - one of the best tours I've taken anywhere, and such good value.

"You will never forget or regret the trip"

Lahemaa National Park day tour - wow best tour ever and I have done many all over the world - the trip was a day I will never forget from the wonderful company to the amaing sites things I will truly never forget it was not just a trip it made memories - priceless, thank you, IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, DO THE TRIP

"Definitely value for money"

This was such a great tour, definitely value for money. We were a group of six of ages ranging from 30s to 60s and all thoroughly enjoyed visiting Lahemaa National Park with our guide, Kalev. He was so friendly and didn't mind our constant questions about life in Estonia etc and also did a detour on the way as we wanted to see Jagala waterfall. Brilliant day.

"Highly recommend the tour"

We just finished a 16 day trip that we're affectionately calling our "Medieval Tour" because we visited 11 European cities that had Old City Centers dating back to the 13th Century. Tallin was our last city tour (a total of 9 across 16 days) and Ann did an outstanding job. She kept us engaged, paced the tour so that my 77 & 78 y/o parents could keep up, and shared some fascinating (and mostly unpublished) pieces of information on her city. Highly recommend her and the Old Town walking tour group!

"Well worth every euro"

Fantastic tour. Enjoyed every moment. Kalev was great, really friendly and showed us so many fantastic places round the Lahemaa National Park in a day. One of the best tours I've done. The best way to see places outside the city if you can. Highly recommended and well worth every euro!!!

"Couldn't have planned a better time ourselves"

We came to Tallinn on a weekend trip from Helsinki, and did both the Lahemaa and Funky Bike Tours. The Tallinn Traveller team looked after us really well the whole time - we couldn't have planned a better time ourselves. Expect to laugh, learn and be pushed out of your everyday travel comfort zone.

"Don't leave without taking this tour."

Easily one of the best tours I've been on. Spent a full day with Kalev roaming the Lahemaa National Park and seeing a side to Estonia that you just don't get in the city. Our guide was friendly, relaxed and always up for a chat. Almost felt like we were spending the day with a good friend. If you're in Estonia for a few days, don't leave without taking this tour.

"Holy moly, had a great time on the tour!"

The group was small, and I got to see things I would have never discovered otherwise. All of this along with an anecdotal history of cowboy capitalism. Everyone at Tallinn Traveller made my trip to Estonia one I will never forget, I cannot recommend them enough!

"Get the real story instead of tourist stuff"

We enjoyed the free tour, our guide didn´t save his own opinions, which was good to notice - you feel you get the real story instead of the tourist-stuff, an absolute must if you visit Tallinn!

"We´ll be doing it again!"

The pubcrawl was great, we had a good time, met new people, and found out a lot about Tallinn´s nightlife, we´ll be back in Tallinn, and we will be sure to hit the pubcrawl again!

"Do the bike tour!"

The Beautiful Bike Tour was the highlight of my stay in Tallinn! The guide was very friendly and I enjoyed it so much I went out on the Funky Bike Tour the next day!! If you do one thing while in Tallinn, go on these bike tours!!!

"Best city tour ever"

Best city tour ever, anywhere on the world! 2 hours over lunch time in the heat and not 1 second bored! thanks a lot for the many ghost stories!

A wee poem about the Tallinn tent in Scots/Glaswegian: ——- The Tallinn Tent’s a Stoater, Full-a things tae dae, Once yiv seen Tallinn’s sights, You’ll shuirly want tae stay ——- The Pub crawl’s trully gallus, The bars are full beer, If ahd got mair money, Ahd want tae stay a year ——- The lassies are aw bonnie, They’ll try tae nip a kiss, The Tallinn Tent Pub Crawl, Isnie one tae miss!

Have been to the Pub Crawl at least five times – the best and easiest way to meet new and cool people from all over the world.

"The best travel dollars I have ever spent?"

This may have been the best travel dollars I have ever spent. Heli was superb and made wonderful Tallinn even better with her knowledge, fun personality, obscure facts and entertaining ways.

One of the best city tours I have ever taken and I have visited more than 40 countries.

"You guys are totally great"

Great tour to the parts of Tallinn that the tourists don’t see.

Fantastic service. The walking tour was one of the best I have been on. And after 40 countries I have been on a few.

15 Best Tallinn Tours

Located on Estonia’s north-central coast along the Gulf of Finland, Tallinn is the country’s capital and most populous city.

With a population of just shy of 450,000 residents, it’s not big by European city standards, but therein lies much of its quaint and historic charm.

It’s also Estonia’s economic, educational, and cultural center and is full of a variety of attractions that range from historic sites and museums to art galleries, chic eateries, and some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the area.

Below are 15 of the best tours of Tallinn that may deserve a top spot on your Estonian itinerary.

1. Best of Tallinn 2-Hour Bike Tour

Best Of Tallinn 2-Hour Bike Tour

After a lengthy international flight, it might be wise to hit the ground in Tallinn running, or in the case of this 2-hour bike tour—peddling.

It’s a great way for first-time visitors to get a quick intro into the city’s history, culture, and layout with the help of a local guide.

A surprising amount of ground is covered on each tour, but there’s nothing that most moderately fit travelers won’t be able to handle.

You’ll see many of the city’s highlights, like the Second World War Memorial and the Olympic Stadium, and discover things to check out on your own once the tour is over.

2. Tallinn 3-Hour Estonian Food Tour

Tallinn 3-Hour Estonian Food Tour

Foodies from all over the world tend to agree that Estonia’s food culture is surprisingly vibrant, and it includes a number of regional influences.

On this 3-hour tour, guests will literally eat their way through many of Tallinn’s ethnic neighborhoods, while stopping at eateries that range from street food stalls and trendy coffee shops to chocolatiers and cool taverns decked out in medieval appointments.

Along the way, guests will sample both traditional and contemporary Estonian cuisine and learn a lot about what makes the city and its residents tick.

Tours are small, so expect an engaging and intimate experience.

3. 1 ½ -Hour Old Town Walking Tour

St. Catherine's Passage, Old Town Tallinn

Much of downtown Tallinn is pedestrian-friendly, making it a worthwhile destination for those who want to see things up close while working off excess calories from the hotel’s breakfast buffet.

Though it’s only 90 minutes, this Old Town walking tour packs a big punch and includes attractions like the Town Hall Square and Pharmacy, medieval churches, and the Estonian Parliament Building.

En route and at each location, guests will receive interesting historical insights from their local guide and get a better understanding of the country’s culture as well.

The tour’s last stop is at the Dominican Monastery built in the mid-13th century.

4. Old Town Pub Crawl

Old Town Pub Crawl - Tallinn

Pub crawls. There’s just something that makes them totally alluring when visiting exotic locations in far-flung corners of the globe.

They’re great ways to meet locals and like-minded international travelers, experience the city after dark, and generally have an all-around blast.

This five-hour crawl begins in Tallinn’s Old Town, is held on multiple days during the week, and includes stops at several watering holes.

Singing, drinking games, teary hugs, and telling your counterparts how much you love them are all included in the tour’s cost, as are lots of free drinks along the way.

Club entry fees are also included.

5. 4-Hour Shore Tallinn Highlights Excursion with Return Transfer to the Port

Tallinn, Estonia

Imagine this…

Your cruise ship has docked in Tallinn and you’re wondering how to kill four hours without spending gobs of dough and getting lost in the strange city.

Luckily, this tour of Tallinn’s key attractions was made just for you.

This whirlwind tour includes stops at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Toompea Castle, and the Pirita Convent, as well as the Old Town area, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason.

Size is limited to 15 people, and the cost includes the services of a local guide and return transportation to the port when the tour comes to an end.

6. Behind Tallinn’s Iron Curtain—Secrets of the Soviets

Secrets of the Soviets Tour

Thankfully, the Soviet’s stranglehold on Estonia is a thing of the past, but many remnants of the Iron Curtain-era still remain. For history-minded travelers, they’re must-visit attractions.

This tour includes both historical and cultural narration and takes guests to interesting sites like the Olympic Center, the Coastal Folk Museum, the Pirita Yacht Port, and an abandoned air-defense battery that once guarded the skies against foreign aircraft.

Perhaps most interesting are the tales of life under the Soviet regime and how the Estonian people have transformed into new ways of living that include freedom, self-determination, and countless economic opportunities.

7. Private ‘Welcome to Tallinn’ Walking Tour with Local Guide

Viru Gate, Tallinn

Tallinn is one of those cities that’s relatively easy to explore on your own, but for a truly in-depth and personal experience, it’s probably wise to hook up with at least one guided tour when in the area.

This tour is like a crash-course into Estonian culture. As such, your guide is a great resource that should be taken advantage of to the fullest.

Tours usually start at your Tallinn Hotel, and before heading out, you’ll learn about nearby historical sites, restaurants, and other things worth exploring in the vicinity.

It’s also possible to customize the tour based on the interests of the guests.

8. Tallinn Walking Tour with Free Time and Port Transfers

Tallinn Old Town

Many travelers agree that the best tours include both guided and free time portions, and this convenient three-hour tour of Tallinn does just that.

Not only will tour guests get tons of unique insight into the city and its residents, but they’ll have time to explore many attractions on their own.

Much of the tour takes place in the Old Town area, which is full of historic landmarks, restaurants, and shops.

From beginning to end, the tour lasts five hours and includes pickup and drop-off from the port.

Generally, there are three hours of guided time and between one and a half and two for self-exploration.

9. Half-Day City Tour

Kadriorg Palace, Tallinn

This half-day city tour of Tallinn includes driving and walking portions, making it a good fit for those who want to stretch their legs without overdoing it.

Pickup from your hotel or the port are included, and tour highlights include Old Town, Kadriorg Park and Palace, the Song Festival Grounds, the quaint coastal village of Pirita, and the sprawling Olympic village that was built in the ‘80s at the height of Soviet influence.

This tour is particularly popular with amateur photographers, history lovers, and those who prefer to cram lots of activities into a short time.

Click the link below for more specific details.

10. 3-Hour Private Tour of Tallinn

Castle Wall on Toompea Hill, Tallinn

Tallinn’s Old Town area is probably the city’s most popular tourist destination, and for those with limited time, it’s generally where they explore the most.

This 3-hour Tallinn tour starts off in Old Town but takes visitors to city attractions like Pirita, the Kadriorg Palace, and Toompea Hill, which offers some of the most scenic and unobstructed views of the city.

The tour includes portions in an air-conditioned vehicle as well as on foot, so it’s wise to wear comfy shoes and dress in layers as the weather by the sea can change on a dime.

Hotel or cruise ship pickup is included, and tours can be customized based on participant’s interests and schedules.

11. Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Sightseeing Tours

Hop-on Hop-off Bus - Tallinn

Hop-on-hop-off tours are great for guests who’d rather not spend countless hours chained to a large group on a rigid schedule.

These tours come in three distinct routes—red, blue, and green.

Each line visits attractions in different parts of the city, and depending on which option you choose, tickets can be valid for one, two, or three days from the date of purchase.

In a nutshell, that means flexibility and the ability to spend time exploring only the things that interest you.

With a little pre-tour research, you can plan a whole day, and do it on the cheap.

12. 5-Hour Jägala Waterfall and Harju County Tour from Tallinn

Jägala Waterfall

Visitors could spend several days in Tallinn and never experience all there is to see and do.

That being said, getting out into the country is a great day-trip option for those who get claustrophobic in urban settings.

Harju County is home to the Jägala Waterfall, and though it’s just a short drive from the city, it seems like worlds away.

Guests will have ample time to appreciate the fall’s majesty before heading off to an ancient history museum in Rabala and a medieval chapel in Saha.

Tours include site entrance fees, but not food, drink, and impulse buys.

13. Tallinn Brewery Fiesta

Tallinn Brewery Fiesta

Need more be said?

These days, no matter where they find themselves, diehard beer lovers are never far away from a trendy microbrewery or a big factory-style beer plant.

This brewery fiesta tour is a great fit for those interested in not only tasting a variety of local beers, but learning about how it’s produced as well.

Beers on-hand include both traditional, centuries-old recipes and relatively unorthodox concoctions that use new techniques and ingredients.

Tours last two hours, and the Old Town area is chockfull of bars, restaurants, shops, and historical sites worth checking out afterward—if you’re still able to walk.

14. Tallinn’s Medieval Banquet

Tallinn Medieval Banquet

Back in medieval times, eating like an Estonian often meant gnawing on semi-cooked turkey legs, slurping stale beer from wooden mugs, and keeping an eye out for marauding barbarians sweeping in from the forest.

Yes, they were swell times, and luckily there’s still a way to experience them in our so-called age of modernity.

Medieval banquet tours are fun for the whole family and include lots of interesting characters like knights, wenches, kings, and damsels dressed in era-specific garb.

In many ways, an evening at a medieval banquet is like taking a trip into the dark past, so don’t pass it up.

15. Tallinn Sightseeing Tour by Coach and Foot

Tallinn

Short tours in the 2 ½ to 3-hour range are perfect for travelers who’d rather not dedicate a whole day to one tour exclusively.

This 2 ½ -hour tour whisks guests to many of the city’s most visited attractions, like the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Toompea Castle, Kadriorg Palace, and the ever-popular seaside village of Pirita.

Previous guests appreciated the tour’s mix of exploration by van and on foot, and the fact that they saw way more things than they ever thought possible, all while leaving a huge chunk of the day free for other adventures.

Bring a camera, because you’ll want to capture the sights for posterity.

visit tallinn tours

Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia and a perfect holiday destination if you want to combine the comforts of modern world, versatile nightlife and luxurious adventures with rich cultural scene in the local historical setting.

First established in the early medieval era, today’s Tallinn is an exciting mix of old and new. Here’s the good news: with Tallinn being such a compact, green capital, you can cover a lot in just a weekend and enjoy short scenic strolls while at it.

Tallinn Old Town is one of the best preserved Hanseatic town centres in the world. A stone’s throw away you’ll find the city’s business centre with modern towers and luxurious hotels, trendy neighbourhoods and large shopping centres. 

The coastal vibe Tallinn’s luring coastline dotted with promenades and sandy beaches is especially rewarding during the summer but offers scenic views of the iconic cityscape throughout the year.

Easy to access Tallinn is the first point of entry to Estonia for most visitors, and if you’re the kind of person who likes to jump right in, then you’re in luck, as Tallinn city centre is never more than 15-minutes drive away regardless of if you happen to arrive by plane, train, coach or ferry.

The Best of Baltic Highlights in 8 days, 4* hotels (Guaranteed departure)

Generally a good tour and chance to see three distant Eastern European countries in depth. Good things include: Very small group, only eight on the English-language segment. Really nice hotels, all Radisson Blu, with the most outstanding and huge buffet breakfasts ever created. High quality tour bus from capital to capital to capital with included stops at 3-4 sightseeing locations. Bus + walking tours and tours of included sightseeing stops. Problems include: Another tour group in Spanish was with us on the bus and some walking tours. EVERYTHING was repeated TWICE-- English then Spanish. Every question was answered at length twice. Over bus sound system that droned on and on. Could not sleep or check cellphone comfortably. Pressure to book optional tours and optional dinners, which were expensive, did not seem great and were repeated by regular tour elements, The walking tours could be shorted a bit to focus on major attractions and not on everything. ps: Loved Vilnius -- modern, green, beautiful, nice people, advanced, with many historic sites including the old city.

Central Baltic Tour

Central Baltic

The tour guides were very good and provided commentary in English. The Estonia hotel was excellent and the boat crossing and cabin accommodations were of a good standard. The Hotel Globe in Stockholm was too far from the city. Although it was close to the rail station, I would prefer something closer to the centre of the attractions in Stockholm so that I could go back and forth from the hotel easily throughout the day. When booking the tour I would have liked to know that this tour was in Spanish, with English as a secondary language. Most of the travellers spoke Spanish and I could not interact with them.

Classic Baltics Tour

Classic Baltics

The mix of free time and organised time was excellent - the tour going to Wolf Lair, the lake cruises etc were great. We were worried about the local bus travel but was generally better than private travel as had entertainment and free wifi. Don't expect any of the accom to have air-con so I would suggest avoiding summer - the position of the them was good but the guest-stay (2 nights Lake Vingry) was simply bad. Apparently the normal place had 'flooding' so we were put up in the only accom available which meant sharing bathrooms, no facilities (no bike rental, not near town or even a little shop - but was a sort of pub, you could walk to lake access) with towels I would use as floor matts normally, uncomfortable beds etc is was like poor hostel accom. The farm stay was better but take a book or kindle as apart from walking through the forest to a closed boat harbour there was nothing to do (maybe laudry?) except talk to the others on the tour - we were lucky and had a great group in general. The guide could not speak the local language at all and did worse with the drivers than I could have done. Several times she provided wrong information on what was happening on what days ie won't be able to get food - eat now, take food and then food was available (confused totally the days at the guesthouse so many of us had to buy what ever we could at local little store which was not much or ideal). I would recommend this tour in spite of this as I enjoyed the other things so much.

Right from planning my trip through completion, Baltic Nature Tours team was a pleasure to work with. Ieva was always very responsive to my queries. Valdis was our tour guide and he was very good! He was very accomodating of the group’s preferences and when weather was dicey, he quickly helped pivot to alternatives. He had very good recommendations for things to do in free time as well as restaurant to try. The tours he led were very infortmative and always had a quirky fun edge. Certainly made my Baltics experience very memorable. I had a great experience and would certainly recommend them!

Baltic Experience Tour

Baltic Experience

First and foremost with these tours, the enjoyment and experiences can be enhanced by the guide you have and our guide for this trip was exceptional! There are a LOT of cobblestones to walk on this tour so sensible footwear is an absolute must. Every city visited had its 'Old City" which were paved with cobblestones. It was a fascinating tour of the history of this part of Europe from medieval times to present day. The days spent canoeing and trekking in the countryside offered a welcome break from the cities visited. Klaipeda and the day trip to the unique, World Heritage-listed Curonian Spit National Park was just one of the highlights of the countryside experience. A hillside of Witches was a unique collection of sculptured tree trunks depicting all manner of mythical witches and demons. Amazing to wander through this huge area with such an engaging local guide to share the stories and history of the area. Hiking and canoe through Aukstaitija National Park's dense forests and lakes provided an opportunity for not only physical activity, but also time to swim and stop to appreciate the wild flowers and other flora. Plants that are considered garden annuals here, grow wild amongst the grasses and forests of this area. But Riga was one of the most beautiful cities visited. Fragrant gardens, fountains, old and new public sculptures and the well preserved and restored art nouveau buildings, made this city enchanting and fascinating. The trip did consist of long journeys especially by bus from Warsaw to Berlin. It proved to be quite exhausting and could be well improved by a stay somewhere in between these two major cities. Overall, if interested in Russian and German occupation and the history of these Baltic countries and their struggle for independence then this is the trip for it.

Tallinn Old Town Walking Tour

Jorge – A very educated guide who explains with elegance and naturalness the history and places of this city, making it more beautiful and welcoming. Guillermo from Spain, March 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Lahemaa National Park, which was greatly enhanced by our fantastic guide Christo. His knowledge, stories and sense of humour made the whole day so much fun. Being a local man who knew so much about the nature of the area and gave us fascinating facts everywhere we went was so interesting. The Jagala waterfalls were spectacular, part frozen and the Sagadi Manor House was fascinating, making me feel as if I was in War & Peace, and all just the right length of time at each stop. The Viru Bog walk was also great and we enjoyed seeing something a bit different. The beach at Altja was amazing, all covered in snow and we did enjoy seeing the coastal area. The lunch stop was also a highlight – delicious food and the hearty soups certainly warmed us up on a cold day. We felt very welcome in the local restaurant. All in all I would not only highly recommend this fabulous tour, a great day out and well worth the price, but if you have the opportunity you should ask for Christo as he just made it the perfect day for us. Thank you Christo – we so enjoyed your company. Travellers from Australia, February 2024
