"Lahemaa National park"

Lahemaa is a place of stunning beauty and our guide Sten is super kind, ironic and well prepared! An amazing experience!

"Alone in the snowy national park in april"

It was such a unique adventure, as we were only there by ourselves in the national park, because no tourists came there, because of the big snow. Our guide was super great!

"Epic nature adventure! Recommended to all !"

Hi! Me and my wife did this forest and waterfall hiking tour on march 2024! It was EPIC ! Our guide Sten was the best guy to go for a hiking ! Very experienced really good person and for sure loves what he does! About the tour… waterfalls were amazing specially at this period we did the tour , everything frozen around them and the colors were so intense! The hiking in the forest was an unbelievable experience that you must really go there to understand! Estonian forest is so alive and breathtaking, the colors the paths and the way that everything surrounding you is really unique and feel so different than any other forest we have visit. Again our guide was excellent explaining so many things for the forest, history, myths, plant and tree species that we wanted even more time to learn more! The food stop was also a pleasant surprise! The food was not the typical tourist food that nobody likes but one of the best that we had in Estonia! , at the end of the tour you will see the sea… and an old beautiful fisherman village that closes the tour so nicely! There is also a nice museum included in the tour with many nice details of the forest and history of the place. If you are a nature lover or a photo lover this is more than highly recommended! We feel very lucky that we did it.

"Wonderful tour of Lahemaa"

Sten provided a wonderful tour of Lahemaa. He was knowledgable and happy to answer all questions. The day started with a trip the waterfalls, the walk through the bog, lunch at a great spot, and the trip the fishing village with a walk along the shoreline. Sten was accommodating to dietary restrictions and found a spot that had something tasty for everyone. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour, as well as Stan as the guide!

"Very varied itinery, and great guide."

Great guide kept the tour running smoothly. Unusual one way tour but a great way to get between Tallinn and Riga and see places tourists do not usually see across two countries. Highlights included Estonian castle at Viljandi - Latvian castle at Cesis - Estonian national type of standing swing at Viljandi - a hike along a river in the Latvian national park - a military museum in Valga - the national bobsleigh track at Sigulda. The guide Sten told us about the history of the two countries from the muddle ages as the tour progressed. Very informative way to travel berween Riga and Tallinn

"Review"

Sten was a great guide and knew a lot of history by heart about the areas we went to. The sun was also very nice on the day and it was an enjoyable experience away from the city.

"Fun day with Sten!"

It was a fun sunny day with Stan as we explored the countryside . We enjoyed the beautiful coastal cliffs , amazing the Keia Joa Falls and surrounding area . We saw the Rummu quarry and heard a lot of interesting stories and its history of prison tales . We had delicious lunch at a local cafe and the Russian airplane that seems to have been part of Star Wars series. Thanks Sten for a beautiful sunny day !

"Excursion très enrichissante"

Nous avons vécu une journée très riche, grâce à la multiplicité des sites visités. Notre guide était très agréable à suivre et nous avons particulièrement apprécié toutes ses anecdotes sur la région qu’il prenait un plaisir évident à raconter. Nous garderons longtemps en mémoire la traversée pédestre de la tourbière.

"A one-day glimpse into Estonia (and a swim in a bog!)"

If you thought you were “just” going for a tour of beautiful Lahemaa park, think again. Our brilliant guide gave us a glimpse at the Estonian psyche as much as the history and how it was to be Estonian in the past decades. You also get to swim in a bog and eat some hearty local dishes, on top of the beautiful landscapes. Pro-tip: get some mosquito repellant, they are relentless. And ask for beer tips.

"Wonderful trip filled with Estonian history and nature"

We were the only people in the tour so the trip became a private tour. The guide Sten kindly took us around many beautiful places, which we could not have been without this tour. At every place, he explained so much about Estonia’s history, especially because the tour was on the Estonia’s independence day. Even after going to all the places on the website, he took us for another German manor for extra time. We definitely recommend the tour which will show you astonishing nature beyond expectation.

"Amazing Eastern Estonia / Narva Tour"

Sten was amazing on our private tour. He is so full of knowledge and provided an in-depth history of Estonia and the roles Germany and the Soviet Union and Russia played along the way to Narva. Even in winter, the tour was well worth it.

"Fantastic tour!"

This is a great way to go from one city to another and see some beautiful and interesting sights and learn more about Estonia and Latvia. Sten was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country!

"The BEST way to go"

Sten could be a professor. I learned so much ... invaluable experience. Such a great way to get far more from a transfer between two places. I cannot recommend this more highly!

"The BEST way to go from Tallinn to Riga!"

Our tour guide (Sten) was a very good driver and a FANTASTIC tour guide. We learned a lot about the history, culture and geography of both Estonia and Latvia. Thank you Sten!

"Amazing tour with an amazing guide"

What an interesting day in Eastern Estonia visiting the part of Estonia, we had never been before. 12 hour tour was really worth experiencing: oil shales, secret city, ghost town etc. Our guide Sten was awesome, we were impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm. We highly recommend this tour, and you'll be so lucky, if it is guided by Sten.

"Superb tour, totally recommend "

Our guide was very informative and interesting and really went the extra mile for us. The tour was very enjoyable.

"This is a MUST DO in Tallinn"

The guide is AWESOME and so knowledgeable. If you want a heavy dose of beauty, history, and adventure then this is a must-do on your trip to Estonia.

"Beautiful landscapes"

We had a wonderful time with Sten our guide and saw perhaps some of the most beautiful sights in Estonia. The waterfall and seaside views were quite breathtaking and there was an educational dose of some Estonian history at the old manor. The lunch stop was lovely with delicious traditional food. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. These were some of the best tours we have been on! Sten was very informative, funny and patient with us. He is clearly well prepared and goes the extra mile to make sure tourists enjoy themselves.

"Best views of Estonia"

We had a wonderful time with Sten and it was just the three of us. Sten even added in extra bonus stops for us at the begining and end to catch a beautiful sunset. We had a lovely time and got to see a natural phenomenon not seen for over 20 years in the national park!

"Unforgettable day in Lahemaa National Park "

We spent a full day in Lahemaa Park during winter time. We had the chance to have an awesome guide, Sten, who told us so many things about Estonia. Best guide ever!! We had an amazing day in the heart of the nature. The bog was all covered by snow, so magical! The waterfall was really impressive. I think winter is a great time to visit this place, I strongly recommend it. We also had the chance to see a medieval castle and Sten told us a lot about Estonia history. We finished the day in a small village, we had a beautiful sun set over the sea and the wooden houses. Overall, I can only recommend this tour!!

"Wonderful tour!"

We were amazed by this beautiful and wild nature and happy to know that Estonian people try to protect it as much as possible. A big thank to Sten who was an excellent and precious guide to discover this park. He was very interesting, very kindly and passionate by history and nature. We spend very good time with him!! Thank you so much and we hope the best for him.

"Cured my hangover"

I wasn't actually sure the day of the trip that I'd even be able to go, but once we we reached the first stop at the waterfall, it was all smooth sailing. Sten was very informative and helpful and my girlfriend and I are very grateful that he decided to spend his Christmas chauffeuring and educating strangers.

"Great tour"

Two 19 year olds, really enjoyed this tour our guide was great and definitely would recommend.

"Parfait "

Super journée d’excursion, bonne organisation avec un guide très sympathique et intéressant, fier de faire découvrir les beautés et l’histoire de son pays.

"A great and charming tour to Lahemma natural diversity"

The tour was very interesting.Talking about Estonian history, nature, traditions,...The landscapes were amazing also in autumn. Our guide, Sten, was very kind and warm and the place where we ate was delicious!

"Sten was the best guide one could hope for! "

I absolutely loved it, the whole tour was quite striking and breathtaking. I got some amazing photos out of it too and the tour guide was incredible! Thank you :)

"A wonderful day "

It was a wonderful excursion. The guide was so kind and gentle. It was just me, my husband and him so we cet the chance to spend all day just the three of us. Everything was perfect , I highly recommend to do this trip. It was the best day of our journey.

"Best tour ever !"

It was a truly magical experience that really was a trip of a lifetime! I had such a wonderful experience that will stay with me forever!

"Lahemaa tour "

Great tour and guide Sten! I can highly recommend. A lot of informations about Estonian history, wonderful nature, tasty stop for the lunch. I’m very satisfied and once again many thanks!

"Great Day, easy and interesting"

We enjoyed our day outside of Tallinn with Sten. The sites we saw were interesting and full of natural beauty. We were blessed with a beautiful day, but even if it was rainy this would be fun. Sten was an excellent guide, giving us not only histories of the areas, but also answered all our questions about Estonians in general. Thanks Sten

"Peaceful escape from the city"

Super tour guide, wonderful landscapes, easy trekking route

"Cool trip"

Very good tour! It was a fun experience.

"Super Guide, tolle Tour!"

Sehr schöne Tour, besonders der Nationalpark, sehr Empfehlenswert. Der Guide war witzig und hat sehr interessante Geschichten zum besten gegeben!

"Great Guide, Great Experience "

Sten was the best tour guide imaginable, kind, knowledgeable and very funny. The tour stops were well chosen, and I had a great time!

"Very good experience!"

Very good day spent in Lahemaa National Park. Sten has been a great guide, funny and full of interesting stories about Estonia and Estonian tradizion!

"A fun packed history and geography lesson in a small package"

A fact filled day in a beautiful part of Estonia. The Wooden swing for grown ups and the gulf coast Rocks closed off a great little tour.

"Very interesting"

Made 4 stops: waterfall, bog, manor and lunch at a rypical estonian Restaurant. Had enough time for everything, no rush...great. The only thing to improve: tell the people at the manor house that there is a museum. We all were willing to pay for it, but if one does not know it is open, too much time is wasted outside...and museum is really worth it!

"very interesting tour with many stops, "

Sten is a very good driver, answered all our questions, adapted to our needs, was flexible

"Amazing tourguide and great tour"

We have done a tour from from to Talinn to Riga with tourguide Sten, who was very knowledgable and told us a lot about present and past Estonia and Latvia. He also has great humor and provided a perfect all inclusive daytrip I wouldn't want to have missed.

"Very satisfied"

Very satisfied

"Take this Tour with Sten !"

The tour to Tartu and Viljandi is a must do tour when visiting Estonia. Our guide Sten was knowledgeable and very personable and answered all our questions. Highly recommend !

"An amazing day full of beautiful sights"

The experience exceeded our expectation! We opted for this tour to view some of the sights that would not have been possible otherwise if we took a 4 hour straight drive from Tallinn to Riga. Our driver Sten was very knowledgable and passionate about his job, he explained everything in so much detail. The beautiful views of the forest and of the river were mesmerizing and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who would like to travel from Tallinn to Riga or vice versa.

"Excellent way to travel between capitals"

My partner and I took the Riga to Tallinn tour and the journey was not only very comfortable but also so much fun and full of information. Sten, our guide was so knowledgeable and funny and we had great conversations all the way! This was probably the best guided tour we took in the area so we recommend it highly.

"Awesome Tour"

This tour was great fun and probably the best way to travel from Riga to Tallinn (or vice versa). Stan was an awesome guide and telled us a lot fun stories and a lot about history. I recommend this tour to anyone travelling the Baltics.

"A great way to get between Riga and Tallinn"

A much better way to get between the two cities, exploring multiple different locations that you would not have seen if you had just travelled directly between the two cities. Castles a plenty, but my personal favourite was walking down the bobsled track - have certainly never done that before!

"Off the tourist trail to Eastern Estonia"

Really enjoyed this off-the-beaten-track tour of eastern Estonia. You really get to see a very different side of the country - a lot of which looks and feels like it is still in the Soviet times. Narva was particularly interesting being so close to Russia, but there are many things to see and we highly appreciate that we were able to tailor our tour as desired. Would highly recommend to others that like a more quirky and unusual experience. Our guide Sten was very good - you could ask him anything and he would know the answer!

"LAHEMAA NATIONAL PARK DAY TOUR"

Nice experience, It permit you to see several places of Lahemaa in 1 day. The best is to swim in a pool during the Bog trail. Sten is a local with a great knwoledge and his approach is very friendly.

"A perfect day"

I really enjoyed the tour to Lahemaa. The programme is well prepared, the guide was a very nice person, explained the background information very well. I liked the lunch place and the bog tour was amaizing. Thank you for it. It was a perfect day during my holiday.

"What a beautiful day!"

A melting-pot of humor, history and nature. Sten is very nice and interesting. A travel to experience !

"An interesting tour with history rearing spoken off"

I enjoyed the discovers made during the tour. It was interesting to hear about the Soviet empire that we rarely are taught about in the UK. Sten was very informative and knowledgeable about the history. I enjoyed the food from the restaurant too, tasted good and was very filling! You'll enjoy the tour. My highlights were visiting Sillimae and the ghost town

"Back in the USSR"

Some places reminded me of former East Germany. Good spots of 'Stalin Culture' Sten was good and entertaining guide, that has a lot of knowledge about every stop we have visited. He explained a lot of Estonia and from the past and today.

"Great tour crossing the border from Latvia to Estonia"

We are proud to be one of the first on tour after Corona shutdown. Our guide was a big help exploring the country. We've got a lot of insider information about history, country and people. Safe driver.

"A wonderful Estonian (read: rainy and Nordic) day "

We were welcomed by our great tour guide, Sten, a bit before 10am. We were two to do the tour that day (me and my girlfriend) so that was great as we could really talk with Sten and take our time to discover each place. We started with the mighty ( :) ) Jägala Fall and then visited the Viru bog. There was a bit of rain but it added to the bog experience (even hesitated to jump in one of the lakes from the small platform). The nature there is magnificent ! Sten's explanations about both the waterfall and the bog (formation, role in Estonian culture before and today) were very interesting. Unfortunately, we did not spot any bog monsters that day, but it's probably because it had eaten the previous tourists passing by... We then went to Viitna Kõrts, a nice auberge on the road between Tallinn and Narva where we ate good and hearty Estonian dishes (perfect for the day) and enjoyed glasses of kamajook and kali. The rest of the afternoon was great, finishing with the small and charming fishing village of Altja. We then went back to Tallinn. Sten offered to put some Estonian modern music (pop, folk, etc.) to get to know the art-scene. We took note of some nice songs :) Sten dropped us off before our hotel, which was very nice, and gave us some great places to have dinner or have a drink. We had the time to try some and really enjoyed them !

"Walking & swimming in the bog!"

An unexpected treat! A big thanks to Marii for keeping me informed about the different tours during my stay in Tallinn. When the opportunity arose to join the Lahemaa tour, I didn't doubt. 4 diverse stops (waterfall, bog walk, manor house & fishing village), a good mix between background info and free time, and one of he highlights of my stay: the walk through one of Lahemaa park bogs. The landscape is really typical (and in some places: truly stunning), and the walk (about 3.5 km) is ideal in length. And because the weather was great, another bonus: swimming in a brandy-colored lake...

"Fascinating history"

I really enjoyed the tour. Sten gave interesting and passionate backgrounds and histories of both Latvia and Estonia. Lunch was wonderful and pickup/drop off went as planned. I HIGHLY recommend this affordable trip. It was great to see the countryside.

"See sides of Estonia you won't find on your own! "

My husband Pat and I opted for the private tour option since we only had a week in Tallinn, and without a rental car, we wanted to make the most of the trip by getting outside the capital for a bit. We took two private tours with Traveller, and neither one disappointed. On this tour, Sten picked us up promptly outside our AirBnB and gave us plenty of options of what we could go and see. Our response was "all of it." For the entire day (we left at 9am and got back around 5:30), we kept seeing one thing of beauty after another. Sten was so so knowledgeable about the history of Estonia, it's Occupation, it's subsequent Independence, what life is like now, and so much more. The highlight for me was climbing around the former limestone quarries and the flooded prison. If you're not afraid of heights, or, as he put it "to go mountain climbing in the country with no mountains", this is a real treat. Also the Soviet plane, now the home to a model airplane club, is surreal as you sit in pilot and Gunner seats and get transported back in time. We didn't only talk about the past, though. We talked hobbies, politics, culture, movies, etc. It really left us feeling like we'd made a friend in Estonia. I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone visiting the country.

"Beautiful Baltics"

This tour was my favorite activity for the 2 weeks I spent in the Baltics. I loved the variety of places we visited, from ancient castles to a national forest, and the restaurant where we stopped for lunch was great. Sten was very knowledgeable, very proud of his ancestry and country, and very attentive to the group’s needs.

"Fantastic tour!"

This tour with guide, Sten, was our favourite time in Estonia. We learned so much about Estonian people and their history while experiencing the stunning countryside. The bog was definitely our favourite part but the manor, castle and seaside village were also hugely interesting and beautiful. Thanks so much to Sten for making our day very special.

"What a brilliant tour!"

We had the best day on this trip. Great history, great guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved every second! Thank you very much to Sten!

"Enjoyable tour"

Sten was very passionate and informative - he answered all our questions and made our day very enjoyable, despite the cold and wet weather. The highlight of our tour was having a go on a medieval "tinder" swing in Viljandi and climbing the "mountains" of Latvia.

"Interesting tour. "

Highly recommended. Sten was excellent guide and driver

"Great relaxing trip"

View, food, guide, all great.

"Excellent way to travel!"

This was a brilliant, comfortable way to get between Riga and Tallinn, but more than that it allows you to experience more than just those city centres. Our guide was so knowledgeable and never rushed any part of the tour (in fact all the timing was perfect). The minivan was very spacious (which I had worried about as I'm tall and leg room is always an issue - but not this time!) and the restaurant and meal halfway was also lovely. I would highly recommend. Unfortunately we had bad weather for half the day but Sten carried on regardless and we got the best experience possible. Thanks TravellerTours.

"interesting"

It was very interesting and guide knew everything ja told as lot about eastern Estonia.

"Small Group "

Stan was an excellent guide who spoke exceptional English and was very knowledgeable. He was keen to assist and at no stage did he rush the tour. The restaurant had nice atmosphere and there was a wide selection of food.

"Bravo"

Very good tour. Many thanks to our guide Stan.

"Great trip"

Great way to get from Tallinn to Riga. I really enjoyed seeing more of Estonia and Latvia. Sten was a wonderful tour guide.

"Driving from little Scandinavia to the people with six toes"

We (4 friends from Austria) had an ambitious goal: to see as much as possible in the short time of our vacation. Not just visiting the classic tourist places, we also wanted to learn more about the countries and the people who live there. This tour has more than exceeded our expectations. We spent a great day together with our awesome guide and the nice group we were with. We got our hearts racing at the huge medieval swing, climbed a true Latvian 'mountain', walked down the bobsleigh track, saw a lot of new places, took hundreds of pictures and learned about the history of Estonia and Latvia. Now we also know how to make friends with the people with just one sentence! We would (and will) definitely recommend this tour to everyone! Thank you so much!

"Sten the Man!"

I had a great time on the Tallinn-Riga bus tour. Stops included a couple castles, a cave, a national park, a bobsled track, and lunch at a really fantastic restaurant. Sten was a welcoming and funny guide. This is a great way to see parts of Estonia and Latvia that you will miss if you only hit the major cities--I highly recommend it!

"Perfect way to get from A to B"

This one way bus trip is the perfect day trip. It allows you to see little known countryside towns you would otherwise never experience. It also still advances you trip rather than using a whole day only to end up back where you started. It is a wonderful introduction to the history of both countries and the trip is busy but not rushed. A perfect day trip.

"History and nature in a short journey "

This short journey from Latvia to Estonia is a good opportunity to have a taste of history and nature of the 2 countries outside the main cities.

"Great way to see the sights"

This was a small group minibus trip. Stopped at various points where Stan, our driver/ guide gave us the history and insights into the past. The castle ruins at Viljandi were impressive. The keeking was fun! (Giant swing!) . The military museum was very interesting with lots of old tanks, vehicles and Soviet helicopter. A walk through the Gauja park forest and sandstone cliffs was really lovely. A short stop at Cesis to see the castle and beautiful grounds. Final stop at the Bobsleigh track in Sigulda. Amazing track where you can imagine the speeds attained by the contestants. A long day but Stan was a great driver and very knowledgeable.

"Tallinn Riga"

Le temps est passé très vite. Notre guide était très sympathique et les visites interessantes. U très bon moyen de relier les deux capitales sans perdre de temps

"Fabulous!"

We spent a lovely day sightseeing with a fun group and learned so much about the local history from our extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Perfect way to travel from Riga to Tallinn!!

"Great way of travelling from Riga to Tallinn"

A great tour taken by Sten, don't feel rushed at all and we have some to explore a bit ourselves sometimes too. I think its a convenient way making your way from Riga to Tallinn

"Interesting tour"

Very knowledgeable guide

"Very nice tour "

I recommend taking this tour, you get to see more of the countries than if you take a direct bus or train to Riga. The guide knows a lot so you get a lot of information on the way too.

"Everything was perfect"

Really nice entertaining trip. The stops all were interesting.

"Sten is the man"

What a day. Superb adventure through the national park. Great tour guide. Sten was excellent throughout the day. He helped every single couple or person with questions about the day and their overall trips to Estonia and indeed the world, as Sten is very well travelled and totally loves his job and discussing the places we visited. The tour was well organised and all the places we visited were interesting. The timing of the day was good, ie enough time to visit places and not feel rushed. Food at lunchtime was excellent and in a wonderfully authentic tavern. We loved the whole day. Our favourite part was trekking through the bog and sipping our feet in the bog lake, so cold but really refreshing and it was a really hot day so we needed it! Loved it.

"Amazing tour!"

Our guide was very prepared, he was funny and the activities were great!! Really non turistic things! I really recommend this tour, the money is worth it!! Sten you were awesome! 😃😃

"Great experience of nature with good informative guides"

Enjoyed Viru Bog and Altjaa village

"Excellent Door to Door Transfer from Tallinn to Riga"

Four of us had a private transfer Tallinn - Parnu - Riga with Sten. Sten was accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. We had a great stop in Parnu where he filled us in on the history of the town. We had a good look at the town and the beach and he suggested a charming restaurant for lunch. All in all we can happily recommend Sten and Traveller Tours.

"See Lahemaa without this tour at your own peril!"

We had a lovely time with this guided tour. The Viru bog was the highlight for us, but the waterfall, the fishing village of Altja and the lunch were also good! Our guide Sten was a gentleman and a scholar, both a well of knowledge and good in taking care of the group and engaging everyone individually. He even picked us all some tasty berries! Also, a good driver. Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this tour. Well worth your money!

"Fun way to get from Estonia to Latvia!"

Amazing tour!

"Wonderful day visiting Lahemaa"

We had a nice day visiting Lahemaa with our Estonian guide, Sten, on Wednesday. We learned many things from Sten, not only history but also about nature, food, Estonian traditions, etc. We really enjoyed the hiking in Viru Bog, the town of Altja and the lunch in a traditional restaurant. It's really worth it if you want to get a real insight of this part of Estonia. Good value for money! Our trip mates from Australia, Germany and Slovenia were also fantastic, thank you all and thank you Stan!

"Spectacular coastline"

The waterfall and the manor house are picturesque. The coastal cliff is simply spectacular, the highlight of the tour! We could spend the whole day wandering along the coast that covered with colorful wildflowers.

"A very well thought out tour"

The tour was very well organised, allowing me to appreciate different aspects of Estonia culture and history. My guide, Sten, was super attentive and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
