The guide was very uninspiring and due to her age forgot things at time.

Review by:   Joseph K,    October 2017
I was the only customer, so had a private tour. That would have been great, except I had trouble understanding my guide with her thick accent. If the guide was easier to understand

Review by:   Niv A,    October 2017
The tour was interesting. The explanation could be deeper.

Review by:   Krzysztof S,    September 2017
The part with the bus was dissapointing. We have seen the Kadriorg Park only from the bus. I would exchange a glance on the old buildings after olympic games for a short walk around Kadriorg Park. The tour guide and walking part were good.

Our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and delivered so much Estonian history and culture with great humour. I did not want the tour to end.

Great trip had a great day worth doing

Review by:   Deepti S,    June 2017
When we arrived at the location in the ticket, the tour did to exist. There were two red buses - hop on hop off from different companies. Both the companies said the ticket was for the other company. In the end, one of the companies let us take a tour but it was only the coach tour. There was no foot tour. Very disappointing. Please do not book this tour.

This is a great tour for anyone wanting a snapshot of Tallin both on coach and walking. We were on a cruise so were only in Tallin a short time. Yana our guide was knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the history and culture of the Estonian people as well as telling us about the various famous buildings. Yana was very proud of her country and was able to give us a snapshot of what it was like growing up under Soviet rule. We ended the tour in the Town Square and she was helpful in telling us where to eat and places to visit.

Great tour of a lot of Tallinn. Erik our guide was so informative and great to talk to - also was good to have the whole tour for just the 2 of us!

Review by:   Cucsy,    April 2017
Enjoyed this tour very much!

Review by:   PohLin H,    March 2017
There is much to learn from this trip. The guide Elena was very experienced and well versed with the history and culture of Estonia, making the walk through the Old Town both informative and intriguing. She has great mastery of the English language and was passionate about various developments here.

Beautiful Tallin . Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly . Just us on the tour which was great .

Review by:   william b,    December 2016
decent sights and guide made excellent effort to accomodate our interests

Review by:   LYDIA MARIA R,    October 2016
Guide's knowledge of English was very poor and her accent terrible! Didn't seem to have sufficient knowledge of the city's history.

Review by:   Cinder,    September 2016
Very informative. Our guide was very helpful and knew the area well. Good introduction to the city of Tallinn.

Review by:   Frances P,    September 2016
Our guide was a bit formal at first but warmed up when we walked through Old Town. As with a few of the guides she is a teacher so had a wealth of knowledge. We loved seeing the old buildings in the old town and spent time after she left us.

Review by:   Kim A,    August 2016
Had a great time.

Review by:   Steve W,    July 2016
The tour confirmation I received stated that we would be picked up in the city center at Vira Hotel. That was a 25 minutes walk from the port but it's fine. However, when we met our your guide, we were told that they had waited for us right at the port. Please therefore double confirm the pick up location should you pick this tour. Overall, the contents of the tour are adequate and the guide is knowledgeable.

Review by:   Alex G,    July 2016
Very comprehensive tour that showed all the highlights of tallin (concert park, Olympic yacht marina) and concluding with a great tour on foot of old town. Good informative guide very proud of tallin. Unfortunately it rained heavily during walk but guide showed us a 500 year cellar bar coffee shop

Review by:   Delwyn N,    July 2016
Worth doing, good value small group. Guide could've been a little firmer with other passengers...wasted pressiouss time on the walking section.

Review by:   mike,    July 2016
The tour was excellent. Even though it was raining, we had a great time. Our tour guide was excellent!

Review by:   Jerry B,    December 2015
An excellent way to start your exploration of Tallinn. The tour is not long and packed with useful history and other unique facts about the city. Our guide made a bunch of recommendations about where to go, eat, good vantage points for photos, etc. I wish I had taken the tour before my other ventures throughout the city because I would have been better armed for my trips. I highly recommend because it is short 2.5 hours, you get to see a lot, and it is priced very reasonably.

Review by:   June B,    December 2015
Our guide was very good and informative of the history of Tallinn. The only problem was if we interrupted her to ask a question she seemed to get frustrated and also when asked about the life during the Russian occupation she did not seem to want discuss or answer any questions we asked

Review by:   Steven,    September 2015
This tour was really good, although, I didn't particularly enjoy the coach portion of the tour. It was not very possible to take photos during the driving portion, so would have been nice to make short stops at some of the places on the driving portion of the tour. The walking portion of the tour was phenomenal. Also, I was the only person on the tour, so it should have been possible to have a hotel pickup instead of making my way across the city to another hotel for a pickup as this seemed a bit disorganized as I waited in one of the busiest hotels in the city for my pickup, not knowing what type of coach I was even looking for.

Review by:   Kim S,    August 2015
Great tour to give you an overview of Tallinn. Our guide Epp was very knowledgable and had lots of interesting stories about the city and its history. The walking tour around the Los town was a highlight. Highly recommend.

Review by:   Heidi elizabeth B,    July 2015
Loved it...I would recommend doing the 3pm tour as all the people on the cruise ships have left by then..our tour had only 5 people and the tour guide was born in Tallinn so we got some great information from her about Tallinn new and Old from a personal note not just a guide book..

Review by:   Jamie M,    May 2015
Lucked out being only 2 in the group so basically a private tour

Review by:   Lorenext,    May 2015
This was a very good way to get to know the city and the most important places of interest. The guide was very kind and open to questions and also, every time we would ask to stop to get souvenirs or even snacks, she was very kind and would wait._br/_ The idea of having a part by coach and he other by foot is excellent because you get to see places that are very far away from the old town and then, get to know all the small ad interesting alleys. fully recommended!!! :-

Review by:   Keli B,    December 2014
Interesting tour that covered a lot of ground. Got to see some good sights outside of town (Sound Festival, Olympic Marina, Pirita Beach, etc) and the highlights of the old town as well. The bus tour moves kind of quickly so there's really no time for photos and no time to ask questions. We only got out of the bus at the Sound Festival grounds. The pace of the walking tour was much more relaxed...was able to ask questions and get good answers from the knowledgeable guide.

Review by:   Eduard K,    October 2014
very good tour

Review by:   James C,    September 2014
Took several Viator tours, but this one was the best. Wonderful city. We had only 4 in our group and it was pretty much a private tour. Guide easy to understand and knew the sights and history.

Review by:   robinsnc,    September 2014
Beautiful city. The combination of travel by bus and by foot means you get to see a lot. _br/_ Our guide was ok, not great. Good value for money though.

Review by:   Mussab's,    August 2014
If you are short on time, this is a must to do as you get a quick glimpse of Tallinn in Avery short time

Review by:   George C,    August 2014
Some of the sites outside the City were not worth visiting._br/_ The guide had a rather strong local accent and often could not be easily understood.

Review by:   Dennis C,    July 2014
Tour was fairly good although the tour guide was not always easy to understand. Not clear that we were responsible for getting back to the ship thus unexpectedly had to take a taxi back.

Review by:   Maha A,    June 2014
It was really boring, the guide was talking alot with some tourists in the group about diffrernt things not related to the tour and we were standing there for long time. My husband was tired from the tour and we really waste our time then we left the tour disapointed _br/_ We dont recommend this tour

Review by:   Silas M,    June 2014
As usual, the trip with the Van is too fast...and they don't let you out or stop for photos.

Review by:   Curtis P,    May 2014
The bus ride gave us a nice sense of the greater city and walking tour gave a good sense of the old town. We enjoyed the trip very much.

Review by:   Patricia M,    May 2014
The guide met us right on the pier as we disembarked from the cruise ship. She was excellent! Experienced and willing to share her knowledge and experience. We especially loved the combo drive in the van tour and the walking tour. We were able to see a lot in the short time we had. Money well spent!

Review by:   Sarah C,    March 2014
Was very impressed that the tour still went on even though I was the only patron. That said, the tour was shorter than I expected and we made an odd detour into a random shoe store towards the end (perhaps to kill time?). Overall, a great overview of Tallinn. Very educational.

Review by:   Andy E,    February 2014
Excellent with a very knowledgable and friendly guide highly recommend to see as much as possible in a short time :-)

Review by:   Abhishek B,    November 2013
It was drizzling on the tour day and I was the only one in the tour van so it was more of like a private tour, we couldn't step out much during the city tour due to the rain. The tour operator was kind enough to go ahead with just me. Both the van driver and guide were very kind. Later, when we reached the old town, tour guide took me around the old town explaining me about the old history (which I was not very interested to know, given the limited 2-3 I had), I was more interested to "see" the buildings and monuments. All in all, if you are going to Tallinn just for a day and have limited time then I would recommend that you take the tour. It costed my 20 euros.

Review by:   Robert C,    August 2013
We were somewhat disappointed in this tour. But we'd describe it as "pretty good value" for money.

Review by:   Laurie M,    July 2013
Our trip to Tallinn was a great one, not only is it a very quaint city but we were there during the Medieval Festival. Our guide was great and the city is a fun one to learn about the history of Estonia. Very colorful and interesting stories and buildings

Review by:   Evelyn W,    July 2013
We experienced an enjoyable, knowledgable tour of Tallinn .The guide was friendly. The tour was smooth and done at a good pace. We were given information and insight to extend our visit to this city on our own.

Review by:   AMY D,    July 2013
This was probably the worst tour I have ever been on! The guide was almost hostile to any questions asked and she frankly was boring-simply going through a narrative. Only go on an old town tour-the rest of Tallin is_br/_ depressing at best

Review by:   David F,    April 2013
Guide was very knowledgeable and made the time go very fast!

Review by:   John H,    December 2012
The lady was extremely pleasant and informative and the tour was great value
