Description

With our private tour of Tallinn you will have a perfect day in what is considered by many to be the best-preserved medieval town in Northern Europe. The old town is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and upon catching your first glimpse of the beautiful red tiled roofs, hidden courtyards and cobblestone streets you will understand why.

Our well trained, friendly guides will custom tailor your tour specifically to your needs and interests to ensure you get the most out of your visit.

Our tour begins with a brief history of Estonia and Tallinn and then continues on through old town, divided up between Lower and Upper districts.
