Easily one of the best tours I've been on. Spent a full day with Kalev roaming the Lahemaa National Park and seeing a side to Estonia that you just don't get in the city. Our guide was friendly, relaxed and always up for a chat. Almost felt like we were spending the day with a good friend. If you're in Estonia for a few days, don't leave without taking this tour.

My friends and I joined the Lahemaa National Park tour on Sunday 10th March 2013. We had a fantastic day and it was the highlight of our trip to Tallinn.
Dave, United Kingdom
Awesome walking tour very fun and informative!;)
Ben, Australia
My parents and I joined the day trip on Sunday the 10th of March 2013. All of us, are not the museum types, so we figured out that this would be a great way to see a bit outside of Tallinn, and get a bit more of the Estonian culture and history by means of a local guiding us around. This tour was definitely the high light of our trip (although Tallinn is gorgeous!!!). Nevertheless, you have no idea of the beauty of the countryside unless you go out of the city. Our tour guide (I hope I spell it correctly) Tarmo, took us to different places including the Jagala waterfalls, an old Russian Submarine base, and to the old maritime town Kasmu where we visited the old captain’s school (now a museum which is run by great people) and walked across the Baltic Sea to one of the Islands. Furthermore we got to try out one typical Estonian tradition: swinging on a group swing. Besides that Tarmo did not have a fixed time plan, which also left open some time for flexibility! Yes, this tour is very recommendable!! Thank you!
Linda, The Netherlands
Ann gave us an amazing tour of the old Tallinn town. She was engaging and enjoyable, despite accommodating for close to 100 people. Definitely recommended.
Vladimir Jirasek, Czech republic
This Lahemaa day trip was awsome.
Robert Monque, Germany
Had a great time on the free city walking tour. It took about an hour, My guide was Anne and she was a good guide to listen to. We were taken around some of the famous sites around the old town.
We met at the tourist information centre very close to the old town square.
Anne was both very informative and charismatic. I had a great time.
Luke, UK
Nice tour!! :) I recommend it!

Went on 29th december 2012 with my niece.
Enjoyed every minute of the tour: it gets more and more adventurous as you keep seeing absolutely stunning landscapes.
Excellent guide, plenty of explanations given and not banal or standard touristy info.
emilia, Italy
Heli was very enthusiastic and helpfull. Thanks Heli for wonderfull tour. May god bless you and wish you have a wonderfull life. Thanks for your help :).
Salim Poonawala, Espoo, Finland
I want to thank out tour leader Heli for a both informative and fun tour of Tallinn. It was great despite the awful weather.
Ele, Lithuania
This was a fascinating day out, and such a refreshing change from the faux mediaeval tourist trap that is Tallin. A real insight into present and past life in Estonia and the beauties of the countryside. I think the highlight of the day was the discussion over lunch, and delicious food. I'd recommend this day trip highly to anyone who has an interest in history, politics, people, wildlife.......
Cathy, Scotland
Went to Lahemaa National Park on 2nd November, thoroughly enjoyed it! Best decision we made on holiday to book the tour to see more of Estonia than just the capital city. Tour was really relaxed and Mart our guide was a really nice guy and informative. I think my friend was rather fond of the Red Setters at the lunch stop!! Fantastic day out and I would recommend this company to anyone who goes to Tallinn! :D Thank you again Mart!
Gemma Robertson Bott, Chester, UK
Had an amazing walking tour with Heli today, very informative and enjoyable, had a great sense of humour which made the tour all round fun. Cheers :)
Julian, Australia
Recently went on a day trip to Lahemaa with our excellent guide Tarmo. I would recommend anyone visiting Tallinn to do this, as it really showed areas of Estonia off the beaten track. Absolutely brilliant especially the submarine base and the bog walk. Tarmo was fantastic, explaining about life in Estonia and the places we visited in depth. Thanks
Malcolm and Angela Huckvale, UK
My boyfriend and I did the funky bike tour on September 7th. It was great. We were able to see the "real" Tallin. The guide shared personal stories about her family and gave us quite a bit of information on Tallin's history. Overall, we thought this was one of the highlights of our 12 day cruise. Highly recommend it!
Marie & Mike, USA
We spent 3 fantastic days in Tallin last August and fortunatelly we visited the Traveller Tours Office . It was a great tour, the information was very interesting and given with lots of humor.
HELI i hope you'll get the OSCAR this year....you are absolutely professional. We love you!
ricardo & itziar, spain
After having spent a few amazing days in the stunningly beautiful city we wanted to get away to the countryside.
We went on the Laheema National Park day trip with Cody. It was definately worth going! He is full of knowledge, cool stories and the whole tour is a bit away from the usual routes!
Nature is just amazing in this tiny country.
Highly recommend the Bike Tours as well!
Berit , Germany
Fabulous tour thanks from all of us at Natural Elements Vacations Rentals.
Tofino & Ucluelet, BC Canada
Dave, Canada
First, we did the Laheema Tour and enjoyed it so much, that we decided spontaneously to book a second trip to the West Coast. We had different tour guides (Kaur to the West Coast and Cody to Laheema) which we both felt, were absolutely enthusiastic about their jobs and, we spent two great days in beautiful Estonian nature with them and we received first hand impressions of the "story behind the scenery" - in every respect and as much as we could bear in just a few hours.... Thanks a lot you guys - your performance is excellent and far beyond the tourist standard !!

Great Tour, organization, guide, visited places, food, weather! Visit the office if you are in Tallinn: they will be really rich of worthy infos and suggestions!
gina0710, Italy
Con mio marito e mio figlio di 8 anni, abbiamo partecipato al Lahemaa National Park Tour il 21 Agosto 2012 con la guida Cody ed un ragazzo tedesco. Tutto veramente fantastico: la tempistica, l'organizzazione, i luoghi visitati, la guida, il cibo (WOW), il tempo (pare che quando portano visitatori in tour ci sia sempre il sole o che smetta di piovere quando scendono dal minivan!!). Se vi recate a Tallinn, andate a trovarli assolutamente!
gina0710, Italy
really really good. only took this day trip, which i considered as the "tourist option", due to lack of convenient public transport connections, but it was worth every penny. there's no way you could do so much in one day relying on buses or even driving yourself without being accompanied by a local.
the guide (?)cody was great, very knowledgable and interesting, we were surprised to hear he'd only been doing it for a month, it seemed like he had years of experience and knowledge.
all the stop-offs were interesting, varied and stunningly beautiful, and swimming in the bog was AMAZING.
and the vegetarian lunch option - delicious!
recommend 100 percent!
lou, UK
One of the best tours we have ever done!
Thank you for the excellent two hour walking tour you provided during our recent trip to Tallinn. (Unfortunately we cannot remember the name of the guide, but she said her first word in English was “sandwich” from watching Scooby-doo cartoons!)
The tour incorporated the old town and we were provided with a range of informative comment on what we were looking at; this included the historical significance of buildings and places, lighter stories about events in the city’s past and personal anecdotes. We had many opportunities for taking great photographs and when it ended we had sufficient understanding of the city layout to enable us to see the few remaining things recommended in the tourist map. Without doubt this tour gave us the best possible impression of Tallinn and we will recommend both the city and this particular walking tour to friends and colleagues.
Peter Z, London England
I did the Funky Bike tour and had such a good time that I did the Beautiful Bike tour... and then the Ghost tour... and the National Park day trip. All my guides were awesome, especially Silja, who is totally the best person ever.
Ian Neilson, New Zealand
Did the Old Town Walking tour with Helen Savason on Aug. 14th 2012. It was great, very informative and fun! Definitely check it out while in Tallinn. I will absolutely try other tours next time I'm in town.
Karina , Russia
I had the great pleasure of participating in the "Tallinn Ghost Tour" guided by the hilarious Heli Jurisson on 14 August. With her tremendous enthusiasm and razor-sharp wit, she made the undead come alive with her magnificent storytelling. I enjoyed the evening thoroughly.
Steve P., United States
Had a wonderful time at Lahemaa national park. Talked the whole way there and back to our guide. You will love the tour from start to finish. Both the history and the beauty were amazing.
Donall Byrne, Ireland
Enjoyed the beautiful bike tour. It was my second time doing it. Our guide Helen was very nice and friendly.
I recommend the tour 100 per cent.
Donall Byrne, Ireland
My girlfriend wanted to check out nature, so we did the National Park day trip. We got the nature, all right . . . forests, the sea, and an intriguing walk through a mire . . . but we got much more. The guide, an extremely articulate and intelligent young man named Kaur, gave brilliant lessons in Estonian history and culture. The key is sitting up in front during at least part of the day trip and peppering him with questions. Kaur boasts an original, precocious, and uncompromising intellect, and based on some of his remarks about the other guides, I suspect they are also of high caliber. There is even an adventurous walk through of an abandoned Soviet submarine installation.
If you really want to learn about Estonia, rather than just walk along the pretty streets of Tallinn, this tour is absolutely essential.
Michael, USA
we bought the lahemaa national park and western coast, it was a great day thans to our special and pleasant guide MART !
we have a wonderful remind of our vacation

if you want to have a special night, you have to join this pubcrawl. You will visit special places you will never see if you are just a tourist in Tallinn! cheers

Great tour. Our guide Helle was hilarious, entertaining and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.
Ami, NZ
Last week we visited Tallinn and I went to visit Tallinn Traveller Tours to ask some questions. All staff-members were super friendly and helpful. Afterwards I joined the free tour with Silja - it was my best city tour with even the best guide.... Silja was very familiar with the area and the history - and knew how to match everything together that it keeps an interesting and fun tour!!!! Thx for the great tour!
Christian , Germany
Hicimos el Tallinn Free Tour y nos encanto. Nos parecio ameno y completo. La guia era un encanto, simpatica y nos supo transmitir muchos aspectos del dia a dia que, de otra manera, no llegas a conocer.
En definitiva, es absolutamente recomendable reservar ese ratito (de 12 a 2) para dejarse llevar y conocer Tallinn.
Sandra y Cesar, Spain
Fab funky bike tour in Tallinn with a very knowledgeable tour guide, Silja. If you are in Tallinn check it out at the tourist info in Old Town. Amazing ride away from the usual tourist attractions and even takes you to an old prison.
Carol, UK
Durante la nostra permanenza a Tallinn abbiamo avuto il piacere di effettuare il tour della città vecchia, in linqua italiana, accompagnati da Kristina. Abbiamo potuto apprezzare la sua competenza e la passione verso il proprio Paese e la città di Tallinn, riuscendo anche a trasmtterla a noi. Preziosi i suoi consigli su lughi e locali da visitare, che ci hanno condotto in una città forse meno turistica, ma comunque affascinante.
Grazie Kristina.
Marco & Aaron, Italy
Die beautiful bike Tour hat uns und den Kindern super gefallen. Danke an Halja für die gute Führung. Sehr empfehlenswert.
Nicole, Deutschland
I've visited Tallinn alomost once a year since 2001 but the girls in the tent convinced me to take the free walking tour. I take the tour on Monday the 23.th of July and Margus was our guide. He made the tour very interesting with a good balance between history and today's situation. Thank you, Margus. And, I think, you got a good understanding of art (Statue on Freedom Square) ;-)
These people are locals who are genuine interesed in showing their city, especially the daily life, to the tourists.
My advice is go on their tours, ask them questions, follow their advice(s), You will not regret it.
All the best to you at Tallinn Traveller Tours. :-)
Arild, Norway
A really great tour, all the things you don't see in the Old Town, an excellent guide, and the name "funky tour" sums it up perfectly!
Nick Orloff, Australia
The funky biketour was a fantastic experience! Friendly tourguide who explained everything what we wanted to know!
Lene, Belgium
Despite the fact that it rained, rained, rained our tour guide,
Ana V. made experiencing Tallinn a fantastic experience. She is witty, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable. I loved hearing her quirky facts and real opinons and not being fed the tourist line of information. We learned so much about the history of Tallinn & Estonia. We came on a cruise ship and chose not to take the cruise tours because I know they did not experience Tallinn as my group did.
Thanks Ana. You made the day wonderful and fun.
Thanks for the tip on Tallinn Vana; its sinfully delicious.
I highly recommend taking the Old Town walking tour ( July 2012)
Robin Udoji, United States
Hello, Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time when we visited Tallinn. We took the Old Town Walking Tour and enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide Ann Vaida was well informed and had lots of good information to give us about the old city and present day Tallinn and Estonia. She was friendlly , outgoing and well informed. Our tour was a leisure one and we visited and saw all that we had planned to see and more in the short time we had in port. We really enjoyed ourselve touring and chatting with Ann. We will highly recommend this tour company to others. Thanks for making our time in Tallinn special. Edwin and Marilyn Udoji. July 10, 2012

We spent a wonderful 2 hours on a private tour with Silja on 22 June 2012. Silja was an excellent tour guide! Silja's English was impeccable and her knowledge of Talinn was top rate! If it is possible, ask for a private tour with Silja. You will get insight of this beautiful city from a young native with great historical knowledge.
Adele and Mark, The Netherlands
We had a very professional, good and very funny guide Markus (cant remember exactly) who let us in a journey from iceage to future and that made the day fot me and my girlfriend! Thank you Markus from gustav adolf II school :) Hope that you will invent something that people in Estonia can say "this is our Nokia." :-D

Our group of 5 did a bike tour led by guide Margus Ülper. Margus is a University student and very well informed on Estonia's history and current culture.
He led us on a most interesting tour that included the Palace and Song Festival Grounds among other great sights.
We enjoyed his commentary on the history of Estonia and how the places we visited related to the present day. Estonia is a young, dynamic country, and Margus' pride in his nation was evident in our discussions.
The bike tour was a highlight of our cruise through the Baltics.
Margus was very patient with the varying cycling ability of the members of our group (THANKS). We had adults and kids, and he was understanding when our energy level got a little bit low.
The one recommendation I would offer to others is to grab some refreshments/snacks before starting off. Our route didn't pass a refreshment stand or convenience store.
I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Tallinn from a different perspective. You'll be fortunate if you wind up with Margus as your guide.

An excellent and informative 2 hour stroll around the old town with our guide Anne whose ability to be humourous in a foreign language was outstanding - and all at no charge too!!

Great trip with our Guide Epp who took us on an interesting trip around Tallinn. We learned many things about the society, the history and with a personal point of wiew. It was a Nice Way of discovered a different part of the town. It was 4 wonderful hours.
Flemming Nielsen, Denmark
I went on the " funky bike Tour" with a guide called Epp. It truely was a nice ride around Tallinn, where we visited places that we wouldn't have discovered our selves. If you're going to Tallinn i would recommend you to try this. And ask for the guide "Epp" cause she was a wonderful guide. :)
Gustav Egeberg Nielsen, Denmark
My husband and I along with our 12 year old son took the Funky Bike Tour in Tallin with Celia as our guide. This was easily the most memorable event of our northern Europe/Russian holdiday. Celia was extremely knowledgable and very proud of her country's history and we learned a lot. Very interesting to get an Estonian view of the Soviet era. While we enjoyed the Old Towne, this was a great chance to travel an unbeaten path. We had hoped to find some other travelers on the tour and were lucky to find two great young men, Jack from Australia and Jun from Singapore. What a great opportunity for our son to Get a view of young people touring the world. Cannot say enough good things about our bike trip. Even the rainy weather did not put a damper on the day. Great tour, great people and a fantastic country. Can't wait to find an excuse to return. Be sure to make this tour a part of your visit!
Chris, Canada
I did the Lahemaa National Park tour on the 27th April 2012. It was a most enjoyable experience. Tallinn is beautiful but I wanted to see the Estonian countryside and this tour was ideal. First of all the guy in Tallinn Travellers was very helpful in getting me on the tour. In the course of the tour we saw an abandoned hydroelectric station, a beaver dam, two different manor houses, saw huge boulders on the seashore, moved there by glaciers in the last the Ice Age and visited an interesting Maritime Museum at Kasmu. In the museum our guide was a local guy with a great sense of humour. There also we had lunch where the smoked salmon was the most delicous that I have ever tasted. An interesting feature for me here also was the still standing watchtower form the Soviet era.
Then we visited a former top secret Soviet submarine facility. Then it was on to a beautiful bog which we walked through on timber planks to get to a viewing platform from where the beautiful bog landscape was spread out under our feet. Some of the trees growing there are very low - I thought that they had recently been planted but our guide Johanna explained that everything there is natural and the slow growth of the trees on the softer parts of the bog was due to lack of nutrients in the soil. Then it was on to the magnificent Jagala Waterfall. As it was spring there was a powerful flow of water due to meltwater. It was most impressive. I have put up some photos from the day on Picasa. As my camera battery was running low I didn't take so many photos early in the day in case the battery failed. Here is a link to my photos https://picasaweb.google.com/105173201478538584188/LahemaaNationalParkEstoniaEesti
Finally a word about our guide for the day Johanna. She was excellent. She conducted the tour at a pace that suited us - we never felt rushed at any site. In the course of the day I learned a lot about Estonia and Estonians from her. Her love and pride in her native Estonia was was evident throughout the day and I found her insights on recent Estonian history to be very interesting. In the course of a long day's guiding and driving her spirits never flagged. And what a careful driver she is - stopping and zig zagging on a forest road to avoid frogs - I even learnt the Estonian word for frog from her! She is one of the best guides that I have ever come across.
To sum up I had a wonderful day on this tour and you won't be disappointed if you choose to go on it.
Tim Williams, Ireland
It was an awesome trip to the Lahemaa national park, even through an early snow storm. The place is amazing in its own right in winter. Thanks to our guide who braved the elements and hiked us across the frozen bog. :-) Definitely an awesome thing to do while in Tallinn.
Jay, Denmark
We had a very exciting and entertaining trip through the national park and a delicious salmon-lunch at Kasmu Maritime Museum. Your guide Johanna told us a lot of interesting stories about the Estonians, their history and the nature. In the evening she even dropped us at the harbour, so we could reach our ferry to Helsinki - super kind and very flexible!
Frederik, Germany
Just spent a week in Tallin, in March, went on the ghost and walking tours and Paldiski and Lahemaa. All the tours were brilliant taking us to places we would have never been able to get to on our own and all through a snow covered countryside! All the guides spoke fluent English and were very knowledgeable about the local area. The office staff were also brilliant arranging a cheap ferry to Helsinki and a tour of Pateri Prison. Not just for students either as me and my husband were travelling with my 80 year old Dad!
Rachael, England
What is the "Tallinn Pubcrawl"? Well I'll tell you what that is! It is one of the best ways to visit the coolest pubs in town and experience some crazy nightlife, and especialy when you have tourguides like Joohana it realy makes it even funnier! Thank you for an awsome night!
George, Greece
When we first saw advertising posters of tours offered to Lahemaa national park, we didn't even think about doing one. After a few days we had to admit that it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to get to Lahemaa national park without a private vehicle. So we decided to do this trip.
Mart was our guide and showed up in a very good mood in the morning to pick us up. He was very friendly the whole day, brought us to beautiful places and told us a lot about Estonia. We felt like having a local friend showing us the best places of Lahemaa. Without him we could never have found all the places.
One of the highlights was the Kasmu Maritime Museum, run by an Estonian family who served us an amazing lunch and guided us through the museum. Also scenic walks and spectacular nature views we had - all that accompanied in a group of 4 persons, very flexible and individual.
PERFECT!!
Bottom line:
DO IT!
Thank you Mart for this amazing trip!!
Seda, Germany
Our private "Ghost Tour" was great! Karoli Loo was our guide and we must say she is very friendly and informative. Great time chatting with her and getting to know Estonia better. The ghost tour was spooky and exciting with us walking in the dark night and all the back alleys. Nice to know more behind all these ghost stories~~~ =)

I want to give a big shout out to the wonderful people who staff Tallinn Traveller. I'd been having difficulties trying to contact a credit card company, and they were able to help me out. All they wanted in return was reimbursement for the Skype charge. Are you kidding me? So lovely and helpful, which was exactly the opposite of the 'official' tourist info office. THANKS, Tallinn Traveller!!!
Caroline, USA
Specially selected your agency for non-standard approach to conducting tours and no mistake! Two hours in the cold passed very quickly: many new, interesting facts and no dull information at all. Want to thank the guide Anastasia for interesting excursion in extreme conditions! We never got bored. Anastasia clearly loves her city and her work: all from the heart, and with a smile. Thank you!

I did a walking and a bike tour through Tallinn and I really loved it. The guides had so many stories to tell.
Thank you a lot.

We made a trip to Lahemaa National Park with Johanna and Kaur as guides. Both were very good in their friendliness and politeness. My wife and I were in the mini-bus with Johanna who was very informative and helpful. The walk across the bogs on snow covered boards was a unique experience. The salmon lunch was very tasty and certainly welcome by 2pm.. The museum was both fascinating and amusing. We had a most enjoyable day. Thank you.

Sorry its taken so long to write the review but things got back to normal very soon after we got back to England (Rush Rush) . This was our first visit to Estonia and to the wonderful capital ciy of Tallin. My wife(Rosie)and myself (Rob) were lucky enough to have what we considered to be a private tour as we were the only two people taking part with our very knowledgable tour guide (Kalev). who spoke in very good English, Our tour was on a cold cloudy day on November12th 2011 just after the football match against Ireland(sorry Kalev)and were taken by car for the full 7 hours around the Western Coast and Paldiski. Our guide kept us very well informed of the history and pointed out spots you would not normally see on any other tour.I think he was quite embarassed when we got to the lagoon/prison only to find the gates were shut and locked the only disapointment to a fantastic well planned tour. We will both recomend the tour to friends who might be going to Tallin in the future. Wondered if you still had the photographs you took of us to send on e-mail to show our friends of our day out. We gave you e-mail address on the day..
Many thanks again keep up the good work

Ann was a very nice tourguide with a good vibe that provided us with the information you need to have an enjoyable stay in tallinn! She did not only talk but also actively dial with us when we had questions or remarks. Thanks a lot for this!
Paolo, Switzerland
This was my 8th visit to Tallinn and although I don’t usually go on organised trips we came across Tallinn Traveller Info by chance and signed up for the Paldiski tour. What a great day we had and our tour guide Kalev, I have to say, went the extra mile to make our experience a more personal and memorable one. I’m planning my next visit Tallinn in the spring of 2012 and hope to go on the Lahemaa National Park trip.
Tina Hanks, Gloucester, England
This was a great tour and Kalev, our tour guide was a hero. He answered any questions we had, and was very friendly. He really cared about our experience and did everything in his power to make it happen. He also took photos of the whole tour and e-mailed them to us afterwards at no extra charge. I don't usually leave reviews, but I couldn't help but share my great experience on this tour with this company. We went on the western coast and paldiski tour.
Will, London
Had a great time with Ann on the Walking Tour and with Anne on the Bike Tour.
Well done and thank you all for making my stay in Tallinn so good!
Diego, Italy
We made an amazing daytrip to the Western coast.
Kalev, our guide (and owner of the company), drove us around the whole day. He was willing to answer all our (stupid) questions and told us everything we wanted to know about Estonia en the sights we were visiting. Kalev was a really fun guy to go with and he made our daytrip a very relaxing day out!
Luc, Holland
Great to see parts of Tallinn the normal tourist would not see! Thanks Mart for the bar stop!
Pete, Australia
It's my first and only day in Estonia and thanks to Anne it won't be my last . There is a lot to see and Anne made it really great.
George, Texsas
Thank you Ann - your talk + walk was great fun even in the rain!
Sarah and Steve, England
Wow, Awesome city, excellent guide who didn't care about time or anything, other than ensuring we had a great time. Thanks - I will return with wife and do this "beautiful" tour again.
Alex, Canada
Ann is the best tour guide in the world and a talented action photo jumper! :-) We enjoyed the tour very much and encourage everybody to do the tour as well!
Thanks Ann and the team.
Jens, Nadja, Elena, Germany
Fantastic tour - from the friendly and helpful service in the office to our guide, Mart., and all that we saw. The small group, felxibility in the itinerary, the excellent driving and great knowledge of our guide, - one of the best tours I've taken anywhere, and such good value. Definitely a "must do" when in Tallinn.
Val Norris, Australia
Best trip, best guide, wonderful scenery and money well spent on this trip. Will definately do another trip with you when next in this part of the world. Many thanks Kiwi Heidi
Heidi Morris, New Zealand
Had a brilliant day thanks Mart for such an excellent time! The Salmon was amazing! haha
If you ever come to Liverpool I will give you a tour.
Stephen, Liverpool, England
I've been with three of your tours (old town, Lahemaa, beautiful bike tour) in three days - so one might rightfully say you did some great work. :-) It was a great way not only to see Tallinn and hear interesting stories of it, but also to see some more of Estonia and to meet lots of friendly people. I enjoyed every minute in your company!
Tim, Germany
Simply just the best way to explore the city. Even after a few days in the city, the walking tour just made the city even better, aware of the hidden gems... Great work!!!
Victor, the Netherlands
I went on the Old Town Walking Tour two weeks ago, on September 4th, 2011. My guide was Triina, and she was absolutely great. Along with being very informative, she was very friendly and eagerly answered my questions about Tallinn. I gained more insight and perspective on Tallinn from Triina's experience of growing up in Tallinn, and her experiences living in Tallinn right now. And best of all she was very easygoing, open and friendly. The tour was like having a friend show me around the Old Town. A very memorable experience for me. Once again well done Triina! :-)
Ernesto Daniel, USA
Lahemaa National Park day tour - wow best tour ever and I have done many all over the world - the trip was a day I will never forget from the wonderful company to the amaing sites things I will truly never forget it was not just a trip it made memories - priceless, thank you, IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE DO THE TRIP you will never forget it or regret it
J Hilton , Wales UK
I did the Beautiful Bike Tour. Good bikes, Amazing City, Great Tour Guide. Mart was the man!
Will Grice, Australia
Hello, I would like to thank the Tent People for all their hints and tips. I highly recommend stopping by at the tent to pick up and ask for any useful information. My wife and I went for a Beautiful Bike Tour, it was nice to go a little off the beaten path and return back to the interesting sites along the way.
Their job however is made easier because Tallinn is up to the word, really BEAUTIFUL. WE hope to make it back some day, and definitly will stop by at the tent.
Keep up the good work.
Take care
Dino Dalla Costa, Italy
I did the pub crawl and bike tour...the people at the tent were very friendly and helpful, one of the guys there phoned about a dozen places for me to get a rom because I didny have a place to stay! Great people there!!
Robert proudlove, Canada
Thanks to Kalev for a fantastic day in Laheema Nationalpark! I had a brilliant day there!
Julia, Germany
Just got back home after a FANTASTIC day in Lahemaa National Park with Kalev. Was just a brilliant day, and despite the rain our spirits were high. Saw so many places and things, but without ever feeling rushed...and was great to see what else Estonia had to offer outside Tallinn!. Really an absolutely super duper, well-organised but relaxed trip which you MUST go on if you are in Estonia!
THANKS!!
Lizzy Stewart, Germany
What a great way of exploring Tallinn. The guide was informative and cheerful and the route was largely away from busy roads.
Richard, England
Absolutely brilliant tour with Mathias. Well worth the money and such a different tour than the normal type! When Mathias spoke about the history of Estonia with such emotion you could actually get a creepy feeling that you were there, back then! We also visited the Sea Museum in Kasmu (the Captain's village) and the guide in the Museum also spoke about his country with such emotion. One word of advice and it is not a critisicm, that the guide when driving the bus when speaking, could use a microphone as it is very hard for the people at the back of the bus to hear what is being said. Rating: 10 out of 10
Liz & Eamonn Manning, Ireland
Went on both bike tours back to back and was well worth it with minimal overlap :D
AllanSMW, UK
I've done a lot of walking tours, and this was one of the best ever! The guide was knowledgeable, lively, and funny. Highly recommended.
Deborah, USA
We had a great time on our Pubcrawl this summer. It was the perfect way to meet new people, see the city, and have fun! Our tour guide Mart was awesome and we would definitely recommend the tour and hope to do it again next summer.
Katie and Mike, United States
Amazing tour! Our guide Mathias was really friendly and instructive and showed us wonderful sights all over the park.
This tour is the best way to see lots of amazing landscapes and it's totally recommended for everyone! Thanks
Bianca, Marina and Marco, Norhern Italy
Just returned from a baltic cruise and one of the highlights was definitely the day we spent in Tallinn, much of that due to our excellent tour guide Anne who walked us around the wonderful city streets.
The tour isn't one of the "routine" tours run by the main operators rather a fun, well informed wander around with a local, taking in areas that the larger tour groups miss. Definitely gets our recommendation!!
Simon & Cheryl, U.K
We had a great time on the walking tour, the young lady who ran the tour had a lot of great information and made the tour lots of fun, I would recommend this is a heartbeat :)
Meaghan and Jeremy, Australia
Harry made our bike tour a fantastic experience. A great way to discover different parts of the city. To top it all we had great weather (did you guys organise that too for us) You all do a fantastic job at the info tent too and I am so glad we found you and booked the trip.
Sue, Uk
We will never forget the three tours (Funky Bike, Green Bike, Laheema National Park) with our guides. We saw parts of Tallinn and Estonia we would have never discovered otherwise. Thank you!
Annette und Franz Brand, Germany
This was such a great tour, definitely value for money. We were a group of six of ages ranging from 30s to 60s and all thoroughly enjoyed visiting Lahemaa National Park with our guide, Kalev. He was so friendly and didn't mind our constant questions about life in Estonia etc and also did a detour on the way as we wanted to see Jagala waterfall. Brilliant day.
Lyn Rands, England
Had a super fun time on the pub crawl.We've not laughed that much in a long time. Estonians have a great sense of humour, especially Mart. We will be returning in December.
Megan and Mum , England
It was really great!!!
Thank you very much to be such closer.
Cheers
Carla Llorca, Spain
We just finished a 16 day trip that we're affectionately calling our "Medieval Tour" because we visited 11 European cities that had Old City Centers dating back to the 13th Century.
Tallin was our last city tour (a total of 9 across 16 days) and Ann did an outstanding job. She kept us engaged, paced the tour so that my 77 & 78 y/o parents could keep up, and shared some fascinating (and mostly unpublished) pieces of information on her city.
Highly recommend her and the Old Town walking tour group!
Diane, USA
Das war eine tolle Tour in eine beeindruckende Natur - informativ, entspannend und locker. Unser Reiseleiter begleitete unsere kleine Gruppe aus Japanern, Amerikanern, Niederländern und Deutschen kompetent und unaufgeregt - ein wirklich sehr schöner Tag, vielen Dank!
Günter Droste, Deutschland
Fantastic tour. Enjoyed every moment. Kalev was great, really friendly and showed us so many fantastic places round the Lahemaa National Park in a day. One of the best tours I've done. The best way to see places outside the city if you can. Highly recommended and well worth every euro!!!
Kerensa, England
Our trip with Kalev to the Lahemaa National Park was a very good organized, fine travel - Kalev did a great job, and we spent a wounderful day in Estonian nature...
Christine, Switzerland
The Lahemaa-Tour with Kalev we did on Tuesday, 2 August 2011 was one of the best things that happened to us when we travel - and we travel a lot... He showed us sooo many awesome sites and gave us so much interesting information on Estonia, Tallinn, Lahemaa and the Estonians in general. 10 hours or more flew away within seconds... Take your swimming togs with you, probably you can make use of it at the end of the day...;-) Thanks to Kalev and the whole team of Travellers for giving us such a good time!
Frank and Holger, Germany
We came to Tallinn on a weekend trip from Helsinki, and did both the Lahemaa and Funky Bike Tours. The Tallinn Traveller team looked after us really well the whole time - we couldn't have planned a better time ourselves. Expect to laugh, learn and be pushed out of your everyday travel comfort zone.
James, Finland
Really nice tour! Ulena was really interesting and fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested to know Tallinn.
Thank you!
Pablo Marco, Spain
It was a very refreshing and fast paced walking tour. We had a great number of people in our tour which made it a bit harder to hear everything, but it worked. Our tour guide was very informative in her description of the buildings and sites we were able to see. Her personal opinions reflected the "true history" of Tallinn! The tour started on time and ended on time which made the rest of our plans go smoothly. Thanks for a great job!
Mark, USA
Thumbs up for you guys! Thanks for helping us out finding a suitable location to sleep, coz all the ho(s)tels were fully booked... Keep up the good work...
Kris, Belgium
We scheduled a combination walking and bike tour ahead of our cruise ship stop on July 3, 2011. We met up with Ann at the tent.
Ann was a fantastic tour guide. Our group included our two kids (ages 11 and 14) and our sister and brother-in-law. There happened to be a music / singing festival also going on in Tallin that day.
Ann was fun, enthusiastic, and very, very knowledgable.
We went straight into the bike ride after the walking tour and I can tell you Ann is a fearless bicyclist. We went all over Tallin and had a great day.
After the tour Ann came along with us to a restuarant she suggested called Grandmas. The lunch was very good and we would never have found it if Ann did not come along.
Thanks for a great day!!!
Ray & Lauri Byerley, Louisiana, USA
Easily one of the best tours I've been on. Spent a full day with Kalev roaming the Lahemaa National Park and seeing a side to Estonia that you just don't get in the city. Our guide was friendly, relaxed and always up for a chat. Almost felt like we were spending the day with a good friend. If you're in Estonia for a few days, don't leave without taking this tour.
Dylan, Australia
Heli was great!
John, USA
The walking tour with Heli on 7/18/11 was excellent!
Bob, Houston
Holy moly! I had a great time on the Funky Bike Tour! The group was small, and I got to see things I would have never discovered otherwise. All of this along with an anecdotal history of cowboy capitalism. Everyone at Tallinn Traveller made my trip to Estonia one I will never forget, I cannot recommend them enough!
Hillary, Canada
We enjoyed the free tour, our guide didn´t save his own opinions, wich was good to notice - you feel you get the real story instead of the tourist-stuff, an absolute must if you visit Tallinn!
Björn, Finland
The pubcrawl was great, we had a good time, met new people, and found out a lot about Tallinn´s nightlife, we´ll be back in Tallinn, and we will be sure to hit the pubcrawl again!
Björn, Finland
Harry is a legend of a tour guide, and Hayley was brilliant on the walking tour. Looking forward to seeing you guys again in future. Keep doing what you're doing!
Conor, Ireland
Thank you for arranging for Ann to take us on the Russian walk. She was so informative, enthusiastic, and energetic. It was great fun to have an eighteen year old guide who was willing to take two seniors who needed to sit down to a great and funky place for something to drink.
Carolyn and Tom, USA
Heli did an amazing job yesterday. I never thought a tour could be so interesting. Thanks very much. One of the highlights of my vacation for sure :)
Brianna Cote, Ireland
Ülane provided an entertaining and educational tour of Tallinn during our recent visit. Historical facts mixed with local color provided a wonderfully narrated walking tour of a beautiful city. The time in Tallinn was one of the best of our Baltic vacation and a tour that was an excellent experience. Don"t miss this wonderful opportunity to see Tallinn.
Bob, USA
Elaine, I want to thank you for the tour of Tallinn towards the end of May. Your English was amazing as was your information. Your bubbly, energetic personally made the tour a wonderful adventure and experience. I wish you all the best in the future. You are wonderful, bright young lady with a lot of promise. Thanks again!
Wayne, USA
Thank you so much Elaine, I loved your tour (May 2011). You shared many fun facts, beautiful sites & folklore. Great introduction to Tallinn, must definitely return.
Cheryl, USA
My friends and I only had one day to spend in Talinn and yet we saw so much thanks to the Funky Bike Tour! What a great way to get to know the city and its history away from the usual tourist stuff! Been on quite a few tours during the last couple of days; this one was by far the best. Harry, you rock!
Dorothea, Germany
The Beautiful Bike Tour was the highlight of my stay in Tallinn! The guide was very friendly and I enjoyed it so much I went out on the Funky Bike Tour the next day!! If you do one thing while in Tallinn, go on these bike tours!!!
Ellie, Ireland
My father gave me this tour for my birthday!!! Harry is a really nice guidewith a personal touch and you get to see a lot of the city that you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. I recommend this tour to anyone going to Tallinn.
Sofia, Sweden
Best city tour ever, anywhere on the world! 2 hours over lunch time in the heat and not 1 second bored! thanks a lot for the many ghost stories!
Regula, Switzerland
We had an awesome time in Tallinn thanks to your tour and lovely hospitality! It was a memorable trip with all your help. The pub crawl was definitely the best part with drinks we could not pronounce in places only locals go to! Great initiative all around, would do it all again in a heart beat!
Cheers!
Ekin, Turkey
A wee poem about the Tallinn tent in Scots/Glaswegian:
——-
The Tallinn Tent’s a Stoater,
Full-a things tae dae,
Once yiv seen Tallinn’s sights,
You’ll shuirly want tae stay
——-
The Pub crawl’s trully gallus,
The bars are full beer,
If ahd got mair money,
Ahd want tae stay a year
——-
The lassies are aw bonnie,
They’ll try tae nip a kiss,
The Tallinn Tent Pub Crawl,
Isnie one tae miss!
Andy, Glasgow, Scotland
Have been to the Pub Crawl at least five times – the best and easiest way to meet new and cool people from all over the world.
Dario, Germany
Just to say what great tours you run, the bike ride and then a ‘private’ tour with some friends was such great fun and really helped us to understand something of Tallinn and its people.
Paul & Angela, Switzerland
Truly a great day. Karoli was fun, informative and gave the city a life we would not have found on our own. Rated by our four kids as one of the best tours they have ever had. I wish we could have found similar tours in the other cities we visited, as the personal touch was really what made this day really special.
Dianna, Portugal
This may have been the best travel dollars I have ever spent. Heli was superb and made wonderful Tallinn even better with her knowledge, fun personality, obscure facts and entertaining ways.
Robby, USA
No matter which of the them takes the Pubcrawl tour you will have a great time meeting other travellers and local Estonians. You even get to sample a truly horrid but must-try Jellyfish shot and if you’re especially lucky, Tallinn’s very own Paris Hilton look-alike may join the group.
Andrew, www.goyourownway.info
One of the best city tours I have ever taken and I have visited more than 40 countries.
John, Canada
This was very refreshing as a contrast to the official tour. This is needed in more cities around the world. Great initiative. Thanks.
Roland, Sweden
We had a great time on your tour. It’s the first time my kids have not been bored. A good mix of history and general stories.
The Patton family, Scotland
The old town tour is the best I have done since traveling through Europe for three months.
Masi, Country
We have been on the walking tour, on the funky bike tour and thoroughly enjoyed them both. We have learned much about Tallinn and Estonia’s rich history from great, interesting and very proud young ambassadors.
Carolin & Mark, Australia
Great tour to the parts of Tallinn that the tourists don’t see. You guys are totally great.
Ollie, New Zealand
I’m a 55 year old American. I love those kids. They are a wonderful representation of Tallinn. The walking tour was one of the best I’ve been on and I have toured 5 continents. And I look forward to them next year.
Fran, Boston
Refreshingly honest and informative, youthful alternative to the conventional official city story.
Muller, USA
Fantastic service. The walking tour was one of the best I have been on. And after 40 countries I have been on a few.
