5.00This Tallinn day trip was amazing from start to finish. The ferry crossing was smooth and relaxing. Once in the medieval Old Town, the guide’s stories brought history to life as we wandered cobbled streets and admired iconic sights like Town Hall Square and Viru Gate. The day’s pace was perfect, with enough free time to enjoy charming shops and cozy cafes. Everything was well-organized, making it an effortless and memorable experience I highly recommend!
