5.00A great tour and well worth the inexpensive price. Galena, the tour guide, was great! She is extremely knowledgeable about the old town area having spent her whole life here and has a genuine love for the area. The level of detail she provides is quite impressive. I highly recommend this tour which is a great way to spend the afternoon without tying up your entire day.
Excellent small group tour.

5.00It was a great tour to start a trip to Tallinn with a bit of Estonian history as well. My guide was very knowledgeable and knew everybody along the route. You'll be treated to history, legends, hidden gems and recommendations on museums, food and drinks, basically everything you need as a tourist in a new city. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you Roman!
Good…

3.00Experience was good, but the guide probably left before time from the start point without leaving any message though there were only three of us in the group. Viator customer care was very helpful in making him contact me. Had a tough time in locating the guide and joining the group
Awesome Tour
