I was born in Tallinn and I am Estonian. Since I was a little boy I loved to stroll around in the Old Town and discover exciting places. I spent half of my youth in the Soviet Union times and the other half when Estonia became independent. The history of Estonia has perhaps not been the easiest, but with some good humor you can explain even the most difficult parts. I have travelled a lot myself and it made me understand the value of my homeland even more. Sharing my knowledge of local life is my passion. With me, you would get a personal experience that you'd never get on a regular big group bus excursion. I sure do have lots of knowledge about history and architecture but my strong suit is storytelling about local life. From legends, to historical people, to the everday life of locals. I love traveling, cooking, history and I am mostly a cheerful person. For the past 15 years I have taken care of tailor made small tours in the entirety of Estonia. I am very flexible and will adapt tour by your interests and prefrences. Looking forward to make your trip to Estonia something you rememeber! 15+ years of experience in the Tourism Industry None.

Overview of your Tallinn tour

Medieval Tallinn Old town is waiting you to discover its charm. Since I was a little boy I wandered around there and imagined what was life like centuries ago. Every street and house has some historical story or scary legend to be told. Through the years, I have collected them to share the very best ones with you. For example, on this tour you'll find out why a church would have a mummy and how the Danish flag actually came from Toompea hill. After walking, we'll drive around the city and see the sights Tallinn is famous for! Luckily, they are almost all at the coastline to explore, so it's guaranteed that we'll enjoy refreshing sea air and views of Tallinn's bay. We will find out why as many as a hundred thousand Estonians gather once every five years.
