Hi, I’m Sergei, and I’d be delighted to welcome you to Tallinn and Estonia. I have a Master’s degree in International Law, but at some point I realized that life is not really about writing papers. For me, it is about collecting stories, places, emotions and experiences — and sharing them with other people. I’m an accredited Tallinn guide and have been working professionally in tourism for nearly a decade. My tours are not simply about dates, monuments and famous names. We will certainly see the places you shouldn’t miss, but I’m much more interested in helping you understand the world behind them. We may talk about history and culture, empires and independence, architecture and everyday life, the people who lived here and the travellers who passed through. I love the small details that make a place memorable — a strange story, a hidden courtyard, a beautiful view, a village far from the usual tourist route. Tallinn’s Old Town and Kadriorg are wonderful, but Estonia is much more than its famous sights. I can also take you into the countryside, small towns, forests, coastal landscapes and places where you can see how people here actually live. Every tour with me is private and flexible. Think of my published tours as starting points rather than fixed programmes. We can change the route, add places, spend more or less time somewhere, or create an entirely different day together. Tell me what interests you — history, architecture, nature, food, photography, local life, or simply discovering places you would never find on a standard tour — and we’ll build the experience around you. My aim is simple: I want you to leave with more than photographs. I want you to remember how Estonia felt. Accredited Tallinn Tour Guide

Overview of your Tallinn tour

This is the walking tour in the town which is 800 years old. In 1997 Tallinn's Old Town was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list and will show you why. We'll walk thru the streets of Upper and Lower town and will see the most interesting highlights: churches, monasteries, dwellings of medieval merchants and craftsmen, haunted houses, Estonian parliament and Government, Tallinn castle and many more. We will do our best not to be in crowd of tourists and to see more than they will. My old town tour is not only about the dates and history, its about the smells and feelings.

Very enjoyable time with Serge. Easy to communicate with. Enjoyed talking to him about various subjects about Estonia, not just about Tallinn.

We had a great tour and learned a lot about Estonia, history and today, Sowjetunion, Estonians, Russians, Germans. Sergei was a great guide and we discussed a lot of really interesting things. He also gave us great tips for a day trip to the national park which was really helpful and made our life easy and the trip a great experience. We can highly recommend him! All the best, Eva
