Description

Walk through 800 years of Tallinn in 2 hours. From medieval legends and Toompea's viewpoints to the Soviet years and today's digital Estonia, a local guide brings the Old Town to life.

Loved by travellers since 2019.

YOU'LL SEE:
Toompea Castle, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, rooftop viewpoints, one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, and Town Hall Square.

HOW IT FEELS:
Relaxed, fun, and full of stories, never a lecture on dates. Plus honest local tips.

LANGUAGE:
English and Spanish.

GUIDES:
Jonas, Kadri, Marko, Dominic, Christopher, or Ricardo. All live in Tallinn and work only for EstAdventures, a small local company.

MEETING POINT:
Niguliste 2, in front of the Tourist Information Centre (not Niguliste Church across the street). Look for the blue umbrella!

END:
Town Hall Square, after about 2 hours (sometimes 10–20 min more; we never rush).

HOW IS IT FREE?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, give what you feel the tour was worth, by card or cash. Most guests give €15–50, and it goes directly to your guide. Thank you for supporting local guiding!

See you in Tallinn!

Tallin walking

Our guide, Jonas, was friendly and engaging. He was very knowledgeable about history and local stories, making for an enjoyable walking tour even though it rained much of the time.

Best History Lesson Ever

This was a remarkably well put together free tour. I did not have great expectations- tours are usually fun with a bit of info. We only booked because our airbnb guide cancelled. Chris, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and interesting. It was such a great history lesson right up to modern day. We really got a sense of what it is to live in Estonia now with this history behind you. The graphics used on a paper pad were so good that I took photos. He never looked at a screen and filled over 2 hours with facts and stories told with humour and spirit. It was the highlight of our trip. We remembered so much from it - that includes my 15 year old son - who dropped history at school because it was boring. This was not!

Excellent tour for first-time visitors

Dominic introduced Tallin in a vivid way. The stories behind the sights will stick in our minds. The two hours just flew by. 100% recommended !
