Dear traveller, let me introduce myself. My name is Kadi and I am very happy that you are planning on visiting Estonia. Who am I? My name is Kadi. I am an Estonian and I have been living in Tallinn since 2008 already. Originally I am from a small town of 8, 000 people located in the middle of Estonia. Yes indeed, I can call myself a small town girl. Thus, I also know what life is like outside Tallinn and how different it is from Tallinn. What makes my tours special? I have been a tour guide since 2016. Meeting people from different countries and sharing stories with them is my greatest passion. I will take you to places that mean a lot to me. I think that when you consider something special for yourself then it is easier to talk about it and share it. I always make sure that my tourists can ask questions and receive honest answers. In addition, I am very flexible so when there is something that you really want to see, we will make it happen. I give restaurant, cafe, shop, etc. recommendations. I only recommend places that I like. Why did I become a tour guide? I think that everybody should do what makes them happy and makes them feel good about themselves. As a tour guide I am proud to have the opportunity to teach about my country and people. Although giving tours can be sometimes tiring I truly enjoy my work. Fun facts about me I love languages, cooking and gardening. I have a degree (professional higher education) in accounting and a master's degree in translation. Through my interest and passion for guiding I met my husband who is also a tour guide. I have been told I look like Elsa from Frozen. I am certified to hold tours in the following locations: - Niguliste Church - Estonian Maritime Museum - Fat Margaret Tower - Estonian Maritime Museum - Seaplane Harbour - Tallinn TV Tower - Estonian Open Air Museum. Please note that I do not hold tours only in Tallinn but can offer tours in other locations as well. I cannot hold tours in museums where I do not have a certification (please see my Credentials). However, there are museums which do not require any certification.

Let's go on a 2-hour tour focusing on the legends and stories of Tallinn's Old Town! As a city dating back to the early 13th century, Tallinn has plenty to share from ghost stories, to tales of love and loss, legends of wisdom and trickery as well. We will walk along the cobblestone streets and tell tales which will entertain both young and old alike (and everyone in between). Estonian folklore (legends, myths and ghost tales) is something that has fascinated me since I was a child. I have spent years collecting various tales and teachings regarding not only stories from Tallinn's Old Town but also traditional Estonian fairytales, magic and folk customs as a whole. On this tour you will see my favourite locations and hear the stories I am most fond of.
We are going to meet at a previously agreed location and during the tour we are going to visit the following locations: - Town Hall Square - Harju Street - St. Nicholas' Church - The Well of Rataskaevu Street - The Governor's Garden - Panoramic viewpoint in the Upper Town - The Bloody Road - Long Leg street And I will share with you the following tales while we walk through the city: - Old Thomas, the watchman of Tallinn - How Tallinn got its name - Duels, skirts and the Bloody Road - The mummy of St. Nicholas' Church - How St Olaf's church was built - Why will Tallinn never be finished? - And many more! * This tour can be customized upon request, feel free to message me.
