Ideal tour to see Estonia outside of Tallinn with its crowds. Very pleasant drive to pretty Von Glehn Park. Monastery ruins at Padise well worth a ruin and walk through. Interesting to see the former prison at Rummu Quarry turned into a popular recreational area, especially with submerged buildings covered by a swimming area into which people dive off building ruins. Our guide, Carmen, shared a lot of knowledge that we found quite interesting.

Nice but not a very interesting tour. Guide, Carmine, was wonderful. Tour is definitely overpriced, in our opinion.

The castle was actually a 1880s private house in an upper class beautiful suburb of Tallinn. It was located in beautiful parkland. We prefer medieval castles. The 13th-15th c Padise monastery was outstanding. Very peaceful, we were the only ones here. The tour guide gave us a lot of Estonia background info.
