The guide will meet you at the agreed pick up point. Please be so kind to let us know your prefered pick up point at least 24 hourse before the tour.
Greet your knowledgeable guide at a central Tallinn location after disembarking your cruise ship, and climb aboard your luxurious, air-conditioned coach to commence your tour of the capital. Cruise past the verdant beauty of Kadriorg Park, home to the imperially majestic Kadriorg Palace, and venture within the regal residence for a short tour alongside your guide, optional and at an extra cost.

Then, venture to the coastal district of Pirita to admire its gorgeous beaches and the crumbling ruins of the Pirita Convent. See the Song Festivals Grounds and hear of how globally renowned artists have performed there, then disembark your coach.

Stretch your legs during an informative walking tour of Tallinn’s charming Old Town and discover the quaint landmarks that pepper the UNESCO World Heritage-listed enclave. Begin on the clifftop perch of the Upper Old Town and descend past quaint red-gabled roofs and splintering spires to Toompea Castle, a flagrant fortress that houses Estonia’s Parliament and the Tall Hermann Tower.

Next, venture within the sacred interior of the Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral, a great example of ecclesiastical elegance that boasts the title of Estonia’s largest. After gazing at the interminable ceilings and prismatic stained glass windows, meander through the narrow cobbled streets of Lower Old Town to see one of Northern Europe’s only Gothic town halls.

Bid your guide and group farewell in the Lower Old Town and make your own way back to your cruise port in time for your ship’s departure.

Worry-free Shore Excursion: We ensure your excursion ends with ample time for you to return to the Tallinn Port for your ship's departure. In the extremely unlikely event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transport to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.

Robert_R

I cannot give this tour anything higher than an average scoring. Our guide tended to repeat herself over and again on the same information. Our bus driver refused to put any air on even though Tallinn was experiencing record setting temperatures. Seeing seven countries on this trip, this was the least insightful tour.

We had a great time with our guide Eve - she was very knowledgeable, gave us a great insight in Tallinn and Estonia's rich history and made the tour come alive with hilarious anecdotes and her very personal take on her city and country. The first half of the tour is a coach tour where you get to see some of the more remote sights, the second half is a walking tour through the beautiful historical old town of Tallinn, - a great combination in my opinion. Eve also recommended some good restaurants for local food. She made our first visit to Estonia very special and we'll definitely be back soon!

I cant give this tour even 1 star. Although we loved the city the tour guide lady was ever rude. Poor quality bus, everyone asked for air which she would not turn on. Just a very bad experience. 3 couples left the tour early to tour by themselves. All our our tours where great. This lady needs to be replaced.

Our Talinn tour was interesting and our guide, Epp, knowledgeable however I gave this tour only 2 stars for the following reasons. The tour did not match the itinerary. We did not get the option to go to the Kadriog Palace or the opportunity to visit St Mary's Cathedral. Cathedral. It was difficult to hear the guide over other tour groups and construction noises. A few other members of our tour group disappeared for 45 minutes during a 10 minute bathroom break. They came back with food and shopping bags while the rest of us waited. I know that the guide could not leave them, but she should have gone afterr them when they did not reappear.

Our guide was excellent and we learned a lot on our first trip to Tallinn. We were the only ones on the tour, so we got to ask a lot of questions. It poured for awhile, but our guide got us under shelter. One thing......she told us to catch a cab back at a hotel. Maybe the hotel gets a cut. Anyway, when it started to hail, we grabbed the nearest cab!

Tallin is a beautiful city with some interesting highlights including the song festival park and some unique churches that hold family crests. We enjoyed seeing all the sights but wished our tour guide would have had more eye contact with the group and been able to tell us about the sights rather than reading off the plaques on the walls.

Paul E
, Jul 2017
This was an acceptable but not exceptional tour. Perhaps part of the problem was a lack of sights as memorable as in some other cities, but it just didn't click with us. First, the tour bus was about a quarter- to a half-mile from the ship. Finally, the tour ended at the top of the hill on which Tallinn is located. The good thing was that it gave us lots of time to shop in the local markets. The bad thing was that we were pretty much on our own to find the shuttle buses that would return us to the ship.

Annie
, Jun 2017
This trip was absolutely terrible. We could only understand about 1 out of every four words that our guide spoke. The bus tour deviated from the schedule and we pretty much drove out to the amphitheater and that was pretty much the extent of it. I learned very little about the country of Tallin from this tour except that Limestone was quarried here. The walking tour was even worse if that is possible. Again we couldn't understand her because of a combination of language barrier as well as her low tone. She talked to us about historic buildings in the middle of the road as cars attempted to navigate around us. Our family and another family left the walking tour after about 15 minutes and used the Rick Steve's guide to actually learn about Tallin. That was the highlight of our tour, our on our own tour. This tour was not worth it. Save your time and money and buy the Rick Steve's guide to really learn about this country then you ever would on this tour.

Sharon T
, Jun 2017
This was the worst tour guide I have ever had! Her ID was very outdated, i would say by at least 20 years. It did not even look like her. About 3 minutes in tothe bus part of the tour the microphone stopped working, so she moved back a couple of seats and started to talk again, but she spoke like she was talking to the person sitting next to her. No one on the bus heard her speech, She had a very heavy accent which did not help. When we reached the first stop for the walking part. she said where the meeting place was. The young couple with the two small children were sitting in the very back of the bus and when he got off the bus, asked her where the meeting place was because he could not hear her in the bus She spoke very rudely to him saying you weren't listening, were you? My adult daughter heard them say they to each other they were getting a taxi back to the ship. By the time the tour reached the town square there were only 6 of us left! She was very short/ rude with people and not at all friendly. We did not tip nor did any one who left the tour prior to us reaching the square. This person should not be a representative of the town of Tallinn!!

Our guide was great. The walking portion of the tour in the old walled city was wonderful, but, the cobblestones were difficult for the walker with 8 wheels that had not difficulty maneuvering on other terrain. We would have liked the tour to end with transport back to the ship. Ending at the old city is OK for people who are able to walk without difficulty.
