5.00Mostly a walking tour. Some sights from the bus but most of the time you are walking. Cobblestone streets so if you’re not able to walk with balance you should try something else. Good tour. Knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed.
Wonderful Guide

5.00The tour was not limited to the old town, but also outside. Thus, the Catherine Park, the Olympic Village and the Remote Tower could also be viewed. Of course, the main part was confined to the two old towns. The guide Anastasia shone with a lot of information here.

5.00This is a great tour to understand the history and layout of Tallinn. Elina our guide was very knowledgeable and made the 4 hours fun and kept us on time, not easy with a group! Gave good recommendations if you wanted to explore further.
A nice overview of some of the outskirts plus a very thorough walking tour of the upper and lower old town.

5.00The half hour or more time in the park exceeded my expectations. There was much to see with palaces and designs by Peter the great. Note though that there is much walking. Our van held 18 people on that size was not allowed to come into some of the smaller closer parking lots. I was a little underwhelmed by the stop at the Abbye which I was looking forward to. There is a lot of maintenance going on with the foundations and the yards so they are all fenced off and you stand just at the entrance to the fence and look through while you hear some history About the Abbye The walking tour of the upper and lower old towns was just right. Our guide Maria was excellent.
Great overview of Tallinn
