Disappointed tour experience

2.00Although it wasn’t a reflection on our tour guide Kaubo , we were very disappointed with this tour. We booked a 3 hour private car tour with guide. This was done especially since my husband has difficulty walking. After an hour we were told to get out of the vehicle for two hours of walking!!! What!!! And we were going to either walk back to shuttle or taxi back and additional pay for it! What!! As you see below it clearly states you will be brought back to our starting location at the cruise port. Kaubo did a wonderful job walking slowly and looking out for us but what the heck!

5.00Maeve is a wonderful tour guide. We had a lovely time around Talinn. Learned a lot about Estonian history and the beautiful town and saw the sights. She drove us around for a large part of the tour and this was very helpful for me. We could go at a comfortable pace. She speaks very good English and is very nice. Highly recommend Maeve and this tour.
Very interesting...

Wonderful introduction to Tallinn and Estonia

5.00We visited Tallinn on a day trip (via ferry) from Helsinki in February. Tallinn itself is a delightful old city. But the highlight of our tour was what we learned from our guide, Maive, about the history of Estonia, its people and its culture. I will not share details here, as that is a story best told by an Estonian while in Estonia. I will instead give five stars to Maive for her warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guidance, and to both Maive and the tour operator for addressing quickly and warmly a glitch in our meeting up point and time. We are grateful to them for giving us such an incredible first impression of Tallinn and Estonia. We are already looking ahead to when we might return…in some time other than midwinter.

5.00We had a great tour. Our guide Maive is well versed and was able to explain the history of Estonia and the historical background around Tallinn. We first drove her car to various places outside the old town. For example to Tallinn Song Festival Grounds Tallinna Lauluväljak. We were also at the presidential palace, Katharinental Castle and Spirits beach, because of the bad weather, but we didn't walk much there. Afterwards we walked through the old town. Maive is very friendly and we had a good and interesting time on this tour, although the weather was very unfriendly! Highly recommended.
Good trip with a great guide

Fantastic Private Historical Tour of Tallinn
Mary L,Sep 29, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00We started in a car so were able to see some of the sites outside of the old town for the first hour. The next two hours were spent walking around the old town. We received a detailed historical tour that included many stories and legends. Our guide was energetic which captivated our attention. At the end, she recommended a restaurant with local cuisine that we enjoyed. We have found that private tours are the way to go especially when one has limited time to explore. I highly recommend!
