5.00This was the best walking tour guide we have ever had. Max's knowledge of Tallinn's history and ability to explain it in an interesting way was amazing. Every question was welcomed and he answered them with facts and humor. He engaged all of us through the whole tour and you can tell he loved Tallinn and Estonia! Highly encourage people to sign up and learn the wonderful history and culture of Tallinn and Estonia!

5.00Begins with great historical overview. Sets the tone for asking questions and free conversation. Has a plan but open to group needs/direction. Very knowledgeable in all areas: economy, politics, history, culture, resources, business, language. Easy to understand for English speaking tourists. Lots of information given in short time. Liked the fact we looped and ended where we started.

5.00The history of Tallin is fascinating and more complex than equivalent old cities we have visited. Elina was an exceptional tour guide and took pride in explaining the various layers and stories in a clear and coherent manner. We were an adult and two teenage girls and we all absolutely loved this tour !
