Great and enjoyable tour of Tallin - The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I was disappointed because we toured in a small bus. However the tour guide was very knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We left and returned to the ship at the required time and enjoyed our day visiting Tallin, the old town and other places around Tallin

Beautiful Tallin - Great tour filled with history, stories, and a wonderful guide! We loved our time in Tallin - the people, the food & beer, and the architecture were beautiful! *Tip: if you’re visiting by cruise ship, drop a pin of your location when you get off the boat and give yourself at least 30 minutes to walk back from Old Town. The port is under construction and can be a bit confusing.

Great value for money, very knowledgable guide. - Arthur was great! We had a port pick up which included a free minibus. The tour is walking but you get the minibus between places too. Great value for money.

Excellent vfm - In spite of a rainy day. The visit was very informative, well paced with visits to the suburbs and the town centre. Our guide answered all the questions put to him in a helpful and humorous way. He gave us a fascinating insight into the history of Estonia. Very personable and well informed.

Highly recommended - Such a good tour - our guide was so passionate about his country and this really shone through. We only had a short amount of time in Tallinn, yet we saw so much. Beautiful place - would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour except return to port - Very informative and great tour, however myself and husband don’t like “on your own time”. At the end of this tour had an hour (which I knew ahead of scheduling) however the guide did not lead group to the return bus instead mentioned numerous times routes to get back to port. we found the bus driver but there was no way he knew who was going back from out group. There was a group of 5 that didn’t get back on bus, guess they had own transportation.

Tallinn, wonderful place to visit! - Guide had excellent knowledge of Tallinn. Tour moved at a good pace. Could improve on meeting directions. Would be helpful to have a greeter close to the ship well identify. Unclear on length of excursion.

Disorganized Mess, Wonderful Tour Guide - The provider was disorganized. 1:15 late to start, difficult to find the provider, and many people almost missed their cruise ships. the organization of the tour was a mess. The guide was WONDERFUL, very knowledgeable, nice, and professional. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MISS THEIR SHIP'S DEPARTURES!
