Dear travelers! My name is Roman and I am glad to invite you to Tallinn. I've been a licensed guide since 2011 and still advance my knowledge. My working languages are English, Russian and Japanese (basic level). I graduated history faculty and speak of my native city with pride and love. My hobby is going in for sports, traveling, reading books of town history. I cannot spend a day without learning something new about it. My mission as a guide is to showcase Estonia as a good example of a "melting pot". It includes 200 cultures, who make our country function properly. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is a cultural phenomenon. It combines incompatible things. For example, leaving Old Town you find yourself in local "Wall Street" with huge skyscrapers around. Tallinn is very urban city. It invites you to walk along medieval narrow streets, romantic park paths, marine promenades, and sunbathe on the town beach. Tallinn Old Town, no doubt, is the best-preserved among other European northern countries and belongs to UNESCO heritage list. During the tour, we talk about its history and modern life, why it was attractive centuries ago and nowadays. Besides, I show where local people live and shop, or where they go for vacation. My mission as a guide is to make your impressions unforgettable and encourage you to come to Tallinn again. I am licensed in popular town museums, which will let us get acquainted with Tallinn's history in detail. My program is very diversified. I am glad to offer you a private walking tour over old Town, a panoramic tour in Tallinn from the window of a private car or van, tours out of Tallinn to manors and waterfalls, local drinks tasting, visiting marzipan gallery for kids, excursions in medieval churches with organ playing master-classes. Welcome to Estonia and its heart Tallinn! You will love it, no doubt! I am a licensed guide in Tallinn and allowed to guide in other Estonian towns. I can guide in: St. Nicholas church Tallinn Town Hall Estonian History Museum (Great Guild) Seaplane harbor Maritime museum (Fat Margaret stout) Kadriorg art museum Open-air museum Tallinn Doll museum Tallinn Dome church Museum of Bank of Estonia Tallinn TV-tower Tallinn Botanical Garden Viimsi Open-air Museum I cannot meet you straight at the cruise port pier. I will meet you at the cruise port gates 400m from the pier and I will be holding a sign with your first name on it.

The express tour is suitable for one-day travellers, arriving by morning ferry. I’ll meet you at the ferry terminal and we begin our walking journey towards the Old Town. On our way, we talk about Tallinn's history, its modern trends, and plans for the future. The Port of Tallinn has always been attractive for traders and entrepreneurs and so Tallinn city turned into a cosmopolitan area with many expats and startups in it. But the must-see object of Tallinn is, no doubt, the Old Town of UNESCO World Heritage. I’ll tell you how Tallinn got wealthy, and how it bothered invaders and resisted them. You’ll know why Tallinn was known as a «town of pepper and salt», and how Estonians, local Germans, and catholic monks communicated with each other. We'll get acquainted with Tallinn's history through interesting stories and legends. The climax of the day will be the visiting viewing platform. After some free time, I will drive you back to the ship.
