I was born in Tallinn and I am Estonian. Since I was a little boy I loved to stroll around in the Old Town and discover exciting places. I spent half of my youth in the Soviet Union times and the other half when Estonia became independent. The history of Estonia has perhaps not been the easiest, but with some good humor you can explain even the most difficult parts. I have travelled a lot myself and it made me understand the value of my homeland even more. Sharing my knowledge of local life is my passion. With me, you would get a personal experience that you'd never get on a regular big group bus excursion. I sure do have lots of knowledge about history and architecture but my strong suit is storytelling about local life. From legends, to historical people, to the everday life of locals. I love traveling, cooking, history and I am mostly a cheerful person. For the past 15 years I have taken care of tailor made small tours in the entirety of Estonia. I am very flexible and will adapt tour by your interests and prefrences. Looking forward to make your trip to Estonia something you rememeber! 15+ years of experience in the Tourism Industry None.

    Ivo was amazing. We had 9 ports and he made Tallin the best. He really took the time to help us understand the trials of his world. Be sure to ask about his past under communist rule. Stories are incredible and give you a strong understanding of why Ukraine is on their minds so much. They know the story firsthand. It is that way with Latvia and Lithuania, too. I will...

    Ivo showed us some of the highlight of Lahemaa national park. His knowledge of the area, its history and nature are sublime. Erg easy going without being casual, amazing!

    A very good way for a first-time visitor to get introduced to Tallinn and Estonia. I am sure the seasoned visitor would also benefit as his knowledge and experience is extensive. A family member in a wheelchair was accommodated very well as we toured some of the city's highlights by van and on foot. Highly recommend.
