Fantastic service. The walking tour was one of the best I have been on. And after 40 countries I have been on a few.

What people say about Tallinn Traveller Tours:
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~~~ =)
Belle, Singapore
Extremely good tour around Tallinn's old town. Brilliant ''performance" of sarcastic but, in fact, completely friendly Heli (14.02)! I would love to participate again :)
Adam, Poland
Want to thank our guide Anastasia very much. We've ordered Old Town Walking Tour on Russian language. And it was really interesting excersion in extreme conditions for it was very cold that day. No dull information, Anastasia loves her city and her job. It was great and two hours passed very quickly. Thank you, we'll be back!)

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!
Anastasia, Russia
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.
Uschi, Germany
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
We took the Island Bike Tour the 21st of july. Although it promised to rain that day, the weather was excellent and we ended up spending a lot of time on the beach with our lovely tourguide Ann. One of the biggest plusses was the mix of nationalities: we met Russians, Norwegians and a Malasian guy, so that was really cool. I'd recommend this tour to anyone, however: make sure you bring some mosquitospray!
Rik Baas, The Netherlands
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
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with Deniss. Excellent value and lovely town.
Tom, Durham, USA
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.
