Overview of your Tallinn tour:

On this private walking tour within Tallinn's Old Town, we will embark on a journey into the hidden past of this centuries old city. We will shine light on old murders and seek out haunted locations, explain how Estonians used to perceive the world around them - both mundane and mystical - and what they would do to protect themselves, as well as maintain relations with the dead and bring luck into their homes. I love mythology, mysticism and the unknown. Our (Estonian) old culture and folklore are filled with tales of mythical creatures; teachings of how to build a "Kratt" or keep the Devil away; how to find love or pacify the dead. Tallinn was once an an extremely multicultural city with large German, Scandinavian and Slavic communities in addition to the local Estonians (who are of Finnic origin). This only served to enrich the view of the mystical world and produce a truly unique blend of myths, superstition and more. If you believe in ghosts, bring a friend. Payment includes 3 drops of blood. . .
