Loved our day trip to Estonia’s Coast, Paldiski, and Rommu Quarry!!!

5.00We had an amazing day with Kollu! At the start of the day he asked us what we were interested in and he emphasized that he was planning to make the day unexpected and unique. He certainly did that and much more! We loved all of the local stops and stories he shared to illustrate Estonia’s 20th century history. He was super receptive to our live feedback and expanded on things when we asked. We really loved our day it was so unique and we learned so much!
Off beat, unique kind of day for something different

5.00Excellent day, Kullo shared his knowledge and a nice touch was the use of the IPad to show visuals of the geography in particular. A well paced day with a good lunch stopover (not included) that was a delicious recommendation.

5.00Had an amazing tour with Kullo and Helen. It was a very unique experience as I got to see things I'd never get to see anywhere like soviet era military bunkers, former limestone quarry and an actual soviet era military transport plane and you get to go inside as well. They also took us to a few other places which were not in the itinerary but were beautiful.
Incredible!!

5.00Although I was booked on the Quarry trip, unfortunately Viator had to cancel as I was travelling alone and nobody else had booked on :( they recommended I join the Lahemaa trip and I’m so glad they did. Honestly a wonderful way of seeing Estonias gorgeous countryside. Special mention to Astra who went above and beyond to make my trip perfect and memorable. She was warm, welcoming and really easy to talk to. I was with a family of four other people on the trip and Astra was really sweet to sit with me at lunch and talk. The tour itself is exceptional, but the kindness of Astra alone deserves a mention. She even dropped me back at my hotel in the van. This alone made the day even better for me as it meant I could get ready at my hotel quicker and enjoy a lovely meal on my final night. Thank you to everyone at Viator and Astra for doing this for me as a solo traveller :)
Scenic and Historical

5.00Interesting and beautiful, the tour is both historical and scenic. We would highly recommend taking a day out of the city for this tour. Kullo was our guide for the day and his knowledge and enthusiasm for the culture, nature and history made a great experience for us.
Wednesday, July 30th, day tour.

5.00Our tour started at 10am. The meeting point was at the Tallinn Tourist info center. There we met our tour guide Kert, and our fellow travelers. The small group style tour is the way to go. Our guide Kert was wonderful. Knowledgeable, personable, and a joy to visit with. And a very good driver. At all of our stops he was quite helpful. Never did we feel neglected. Our lunch stop in Paldiski was great. We had a fun time. We saw a lot, and learned a lot. The day went by quickly. Thanks Kert for the great day.
Very nice trip!

5.00I really liked the landscapes and the cafeteria where we had lunch. The guide was always very kind and empathetic. We also had a wonderful sunny day.
You get to see a bit of everything from nature to Soviet history all in one relaxing day. Kert kept the day interesting.

5.00The day trip was amazing - perfect for anyone interested in Estonian nature, culture and history. We also had lunch at a cozy, countryside-style Estonian restaurant, which was a charming addition to the experience. The tour guides Kullo and Kert guided us throughout the day and did a fantastic job. They were both knowledgeable about the region and its history, and managed the time really well. Kullo was the driver for my group, and he kept us engaged with great conversation and fun facts during the tour. Plus, I was impressed that he speaks Portuguese too and we could chat about other topics - at the end, we barely noticed that time flew by. Highly recommended!
Good way to see the country side.

5.00This is an all day trip from Tallin. We stopped frequently, learned about Estonian history, geography, geology and the communist occupation. Koolu, our guide was very knowledgeable and answered our questions in a very thoughtful manner.
