Outstanding tour — easy meet up, knowledgeable and everything as expected.
Roger B.United States
Domenico took us on a great tour. We have taken about 20 tours given by guides from Tours by Locals, and his was one of the best. When we met him, we had been working our way north in Europe for a month, and really needed to find some warmer clothes. He was very accommodating, taking us to a very nice clothing store where we found just what we needed. We proceeded to have a wonderful day in Tallinn.
