Description

Warm greetings, Adventurer. I'm Stas, your local guide in Tartu. I've been living in Estonia for 8 years. I'm healthily obsessed with Tartu and love Estonia (even Tallinn… on a good day in the summer). My tour includes the history of Tartu and Estonia with visuals, some street art, a few of my stories, one ghost story, and even a conspiracy theory from Tartu! I prefer small groups to build connections and tell jokes all the time.

About the tour: Tartu is a small town with just over 100K inhabitants in the south of Estonia. How come Germans, Danes, Muscovites, Swedes, Poles, and Lithuanians were all fighting for this territory? How did a world top-300-ranked university end up here? What was life like for students and townspeople 200, 500, or even 800 years ago? On my tour, you'll hear how Estonia came to be despite all odds, and how Estonians truly stand behind: "Olukord on sitt, kuid see on meie tuleviku väetis".

P.S. As I have small group flexibility, I invite you to share how I can make this tour better for you! Feel free to tell me your wishes before the tour!
P.S.S. Reach out if you'll need help to plan travels or any assistance before the Tour.

Fantastic Experience; Not to be missed

Our guide, Stas, provided an unbelievably rich experience for us. We were a very small group in mid-October and the opportunity to learn from Stas was remarkable- almost like spending time with Tartu’s finest historian. So enjoyed learning about Tartu’s past and present - highly recommend Stas and this tour!

A great intro to Tartu

Stas was a great guide! He gave us much information on the history of Estonia, and particularly Tartu, and he was very engaging and interesting. He showed us things we wouldn't have understood the significance of had he not given us the background (ie, some of the political graffiti) and he was happy to answer any questions we had along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to other visitors - a valuable way to spend a couple of hours!! The sample of local delicacies was an unexpected bonus too - thanks so very much Stas!
