Tallinn Treasures - We had a wonderful afternoon exploring Tallinn with our guide Max. He was very knowledgeable about the varied history of Estonia. Mac kept us engaged with stories about various things we saw like a random truck in a park! Tallinn is beautiful and has preserved its history well.

Awesome Stories and Amazing Sights! - An awesome walk through the old city with amazing stories told by our wonderful guide, Maria. She brought the city to life with great stories of the past, filled with small fascinating details, like the different door knockers and the little post of shame, that we would have missed with a guidebook. It was like touring a treasured home of with a new friend and her love for her city was warming on an otherwise chilly day. Highly recommend the tour and Maria.

Did not get the tour I booked, but it was still a good one - When I showed up for the tour, the guy told me that I was going to be on a different tour. It was a general tour of the city. The guide (Max?) was amazing and I had a great time. It was just not what I booked.
