5.00Our tour guide had exactly the right calling as a teacher! The tour through the higher and lower parts of Tallinn's city center was engaging, interesting, and full of amusing anecdotes about various sights and curiosities along the way. If you have only half a day in Tallinn (like we did), this is the perfect tour!
Tour of the old town. The truth is, it was an excellent tour! Very pleasant and clear.

Not so historical accurate

3.00More landmark sightseeing than historical tour. The guide spoke ok english, but was not easy to follow. Some of the information was historically uncorrect. For example she told that all of the streets were 5 meters lower than today because of the dirt that had gathered over time. The guide continued to tell this. Visited only south part of old town, mostly the newer part. I missed the historical storytelling and more information about how they lived and why the town was like it is.
