Fantastic 5.0

boarded the ferry from Helsinki and the guide was waiting at a prominent area upon exiting the ferry in Tallinn. Sergei was our guide and he has such a good sense of humour. he makes a lot of effort to connect with the guests on the tour to help them contextualise the point he was trying to illustrate by giving examples of the various countries. he is highly knowledgeable and answers our questions happily. very attentive to guests needs as well. he even recommended us several Estonian restaurants serving authentic food and cautioned us of certain ‘traps’ that might not be authentic. Tallinn old town is charming and worth a visit if you’re into medieval towns . definitely 10/10, highly recommended!

Tallinn is a truly magnificent city! I felt like I was walking inside a fairy tale about elves and dwarves. Our guide, Max, he was very good and so kind heart. Before this, I know nothing about Estonia or Tallinn history, but he explained everything so simple and easy to understand. I can ask many questions and he always give me clear, very detailed answers. He really know the history and lead the tour very professional. I feel a bit sad because I stay in Tallinn for only 1 day. I really want to come back here again. Highly recommend this tour! I got so many useful tips from him.

It's close to the mall, and there's also a fruit stand nearby (the really cheap kind). Upstairs, there's a market with many food stalls. It's truly a one-stop shop, making it a very convenient place for foreigners who have just arrived in Tallinn.
