Tallinn Full Day Shore Excursion (up to 3 travelers)

Davide is an excellent guide and introduced us to a country and city that we didn't really know anything about. We enjoyed our time with Davide and gained a new appreciation for this area of the world. I would highly recommend him as a guide if you are in Estonia.

Davide was very friendly, candid about the complexities of the history and culture and was willing to adapt the tour to meet our interest and schedule needs. We highly recommend.

Davide’s tour was incredibly informative and tailored to our requests. We did a walking tour in the upper and lower Old Town before lunch. This area is a visual delight and Davide was able to explain the layer upon layer of history there. He arranged a great gluten free lunch at the GF restaurant Kivi Paber Käärid (Rock Paper scissors) where my celiac wife and I both enjoyed our delicious meals. The afternoon tour was by car and Davide included sites which would be otherwise impossible to see by people on a cruise— Russian Czar Peter the Great’s summer palace and surrounding park, the more Russian speaking minority enclave of town, the Russian TV tower to broadcast the Tallinn water sports of the 1980 Olympics — the revamped facilities and marina for that, as well as the ruin of the medieval St Brigid’s Monastery which gives its Estonian name to the nearby river and area— Pirita. We also stopped by the outdoor concert venue which saw, in the late 1980s, the Estonians use their singing culture and longstanding every 5 year song festival (where as much as 1/4 of the entire national population attended) to protest Soviet occupation, contributing to their gaining independence. Davide’s tour was comprehensive and very enjoyable. We would absolutely repeat it if we had to do it over again.

Davide was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge of Tallinn and the history of the region provide the background information to put what we were seeing in historical context. The tour was well paced and comprehensive. We could not have seen many of the sites without a guided tour. I highly recommend this tour with Davide!

We had a great tour experience with Davide. He picked us up right off our cruise ship which was very convenient. Davide was open and friendly with a wealth of information on the history of Tallinn and Estonia (both ancient and more near term with the Russian occupation). He was very happy to discuss the current state of the Estonia from the culture, to the economy to foreign affairs. We spent time strolling the beautiful upper and lower old cities as well as seeing the Peter the Great’s summer palace and gardens. We also drove through the newer parts of the city and the area constructed by the Soviets. Wonderful tour and a great guide. We highly recommend Davide.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Davide. He was very knowledgeable. He provided excellent information about Tallinn, Estonia, and regional history. We would highly recommend him for a tour. Thanks Davide for sharing your city with us. We had an excellent day.
