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.

Tallinn Open air museum is bestseller among others. It tells us a lot of local peasant architecture and culture. We will get acquainted with the rural mode of life and traditions of Estonian people through humoured stories and legends, visit models of local farms, come into old barn-dwellings and chapels, take pictures with mills at charming seacoast. Museum consists of several sectors, and not to get tired while walking, we can take a horse taxi or bicycle.
Tour begins in city centre. Being picked up by car we drive west of Tallinn and talk of objects on our way. From the car we will see Viru square, Freedom Square, Charles church - the biggest protestant church, National library, American district, hippodrome, zoo park, the biggest shopping mall in city. Open air museum is situated in private area in woods. Buying tickets we will enjoy timber dwellings, windmills, barn-dwellings, taverns. During the walking tour, we find collection of 80 buildings: peasant farms, net sheds, school farm, chapel of 18-20th century. We will look at low reed roof of barn-dwellings, come inside through low doorway to see how we lived, how heated house, where held cattle and celebrated weddings. The discipline was hard, but only it helped us to survive in cold climate with restricted quantity of resources. In summer time museum offers you dancings exhibitions and other events.
