Hello, my name is Jelena. I am a professional tour guide in Tallinn and Estonia. I've been working as tour guide since 2007. Have licenses at different museums in our wonderful capital city Tallinn. History and traveling had always fascinated me. It had been a mystery for me as a child, how people could know so many interesting things, facts and stories about their native countries, that it inspired me to become a tour guide and introduce my native country to the guests. Now it is my pleasure to introduce the country I was born in and live to the guests that arrive here for a day or several days. Estonia and Tallinn can offer you a diverse experience through the nature, people, culture and a rich history of such a small but a cozy country. I can arrange tours for individual travelers, private and bigger groups. Just let me know and I will invent something that would be suitable just for you. My languages are English and Russian, though learning new languages is my other passion. Let's learn and discover new things together. I am a licensed tour guide in Tallinn. Licenses of museums: - Town Hall Museum, - Estonian History Museum, - Tallinn TV-tower, - Kadriorg Arts Museum, - Estonian Maritime Museum, - Seaplane Harbour, - Estonian Open-Air Museum, - Tallinn City Museum, - Niguliste Museum - Estonian Jewish Museum, - Palmse Manor. I cannot meet you right at the cruise port pier. I will meet you at the cruise port gates 500m from the pier, about 10 minutes walking from your ship, with a sign with your name on it.

During the driving tour we will visit the greenest part of Tallinn Kadriorg that was founded in the 18th century as a residence of the tzar's family and famous for several art museums and the residence of the Estonian President.

Jelena our tour guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and very accommodating to our requests. The tour of the city was excellent.

Jelena's tour was comprehensive. Traveling in her car, we visited newer parts of Tallinn, plus the old city, where we saw the upper part, and walked around in the lower old city. We also talked about life in Estonia today.

Wonderful tour of Tallinn in the snow. We even stopped for a hot chocolate to warm up. One huge advantage of a personal tour is you get lots of great recommendations on what else you can do following the tour. Jelena was very knowledgeable and always had an in-depth knowledge of every point on the tour.

Jelena was fantastic. We started with a bit of a driving tour of the larger area before beginning our walking tour. She expertly navigated us around Tallinn sharing with us interesting historical and cultural information while we saw the sights. We only had a half day tour, and at the end Jelena recommended places to eat and also made sure we knew how to get to a place we were going to see on our own. She was friendly and fun, and we all had a great time with her. I highly recommend her.

Jelena knows everything about Tallinn. She has an incredible memory on everything in the Tallinn area and the tour was great and fun.

Jelena was a fabulous tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We saw beautiful gardens and architecture as well as their famous music shell. After that we did an extensive walking tour through the medieval period upper and lower old town Tallinn. She and her driver provided a very comfortable mini bus/van so that we were able to maximize our time on shore. And did I mention the marzipan museum? Yes, she took us there! If you're considering her tour don't hesitate!
