10 Sightseeing Tours in Tallinn That You Shouldn't Miss
Tallinn's atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hodgepodge of medieval streets and spires. It's a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if intending to use buses, trolleys or trams. For a look into Tallinn's past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum's typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St. Olav's spire was once the tallest in the world.

Fantastic, informative tour lead by Katarina. She was so friendly and helpful and showed us lots of interesting places around the city. It was brilliant to see Tallinn through the eyes of a local and to benefit from all her insights. There were only two of us on the tour so we had a really personal experience. Highly recommended.

Great view of the area from this Soviet era tower. There are photos and multimedia info tables that help identify the sites and history too. You can see the Baltic Sea and forested areas as well as new houses being built and industrial sites too. It really gives you an idea of the size and layout of the Tallinn metro area. Bit of a travel back in time museum in the base.

I have two problems with this tour from Levi. I recently took this tour with my fiance for our honeymoon. We spent the full 8hrs and payed the $600. although the tour was detailed and the ride was amazing i really dont see why it costs so much! My friend took another tour for only $100 and they told me how they got the exact same experience visiting all the same places. Levi get yo mind right and put an acceptable price for this your just ripping off %90 of your customers
