    Tallinn Highlights

    History & top sightsMedieval
    This tour of Tallinn with a private guide is a fantastic way to discover different neighbourhoods with a focus on history and to learn about the people who have shaped the city. You will hear memorable stories, news about recent developments and current life in Estonia, and anything else of interest, all while exploring Tallinn’s must-see attractions.

    The tour begins at the cruise ship terminal or your hotel and starts with a drive (1 hour, 45 minutes) through Tallinn’s neighbourhoods: Kadriorg, the Song Festival Grounds, Kalamaja, and the modern city centre, with several stops on the way.

    After arriving to the UNESCO-listed Tallinn Old Town, the tour continues on foot (1 hour, 45 minutes).
    The guided walk starts at Toompea Hill, then descends to the wonderfully preserved lower section of the area, all while your tour guide reveals fascinating information about their hometown, one of Europe’s most complete walled cities.

    The tour will end next to Viru Gate.
