Jae Tour Guide

Originally from Oregon in the United States, Jae first came to Estonia in 2014 for an internship. She felt instantly at home among the forests and peaceful vibe that reminded her of where she grew up. She’s lived in Germany and Finland and studied language teaching and educational leadership. Jae speaks German and Estonian and loves diving into conversations about cultural differences, language quirks, and the surprises that come with living abroad. When she’s not guiding, you’ll find her sewing, writing, checking out antique shops, or hanging out with her pet ferret. On her tours, Jae weaves in stories of Estonia’s past, her own travel tales, and a few cultural surprises along the way.

"Eating My Way through Tallinn with Jae"

Can I give this more stars?? This private tour (2 of us) was incredible and worth every cent... and calorie! The food stops and selection were fantastic. The food is hearty and real. We learned about the country, the people & culture, the food (obviously), the city of Tallinn. I HIGHLY recommend sharing dishes where feasible since there are so many delicious options and you will want to try everything. Our guide Jae had led our earlier walking tour, so what a treat to spend even more time with her on the food tour. We never felt rushed or like this was a 'job' for Jae, but rather like we have made a new friend in Estonia who is passionate about her home and food. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Tallinn, Estonia is now more than a small far away place on the map, and all food tours (and guides) will have a such high bar for greatness.

"Exploring the Unknown Secrets of the Bog with Jae"

The experience with our guide, Jae, was wonderful. Having never experienced a bog before, it was an educational, informative, and eye opening tour. Well maintained infrastructure ensured that the entire visit went smoothly with plenty of photographic opportunities. The tour started punctually, and ended punctually, with interested nuggets of data about life in Estonia to keep the relatively longer journey interesting. Definitely a must visit away from the crowds of the Old Town.
