We welcome you on a private tour of our beautiful and unique Old Town. Tallinn is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe and therefore listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking on cobblestone streets you will find yourself in outdoor museum with extraordinary exhibitions such as historical and architectural rarities. Through exciting stories we bring you back to the Middle Ages with crusades and monks, nobles and kings, salt traders and guildsmen, headsmen and prisoners, master-craftsmen and apprentices. Back then attack was a constant worry, so like any respectable medieval town,Tallinn has it`s bastion walls and underground passageways. After a tour with our guide, you will visit Bastion Passages. During the Soviet period the tunnels were further modernized. You will see some of the old equipment leftover from that era, as well as parts of facility that still retain medieval look. PS! Take your time to enjoy art work at Carved Stone Museum.

Tallinn Old Town, Tallinn, Estonia Tallinn’s Old Town is divided into two areas – the lower town and the upper town (also called Toompea). Those two towns were once separated by gates, almost like two different cities. Nowadays, the combination of the upper town on the high limestone hill and the lower town at its foot form an expressive skyline that is visible from a great distance both from land and sea. The lower town (all-linn) is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. 120 minutes

Very good tour, but the tunnels were closed. So was expecting a partial refund. But overall very good.

We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour! It was my husband’s first ever walking tour and he has said that it was an amazing way to get to know the town of Tallinn on our short visit. Our tour guide Heivi, was friendly, patient (as we were stumbling along the snow and ice!) and extremely knowledgable. We also very much appreciated the further recommendations for the rest of our trip. We had a great time and feel like we know Tallinn well. Thank you!!!
