Great experience with Amitylux
It was a great experience being guided by Amitylux in Tallinn. The guide really knew the history and led us to all the interesting spots. Amitylux are professionals and also have a great sense of humor. Furthermore the guide spoke loud and clear, so everyone could hear, what was said.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a great review! It's wonderful to hear the guide combined real historical knowledge with a good sense of humour, and that everyone could hear clearly throughout, that kind of attentiveness really matters on a group tour. Thank you for choosing Amitylux, we hope to welcome you back for another tour sometime.

Guided tour through Tallinn
We had a fascinating guided tour through Tallinn with an enthusiastic local guide who brought the city’s history and architecture vividly to life. We learned about Tallinn before, during and after the Second World War, and how different eras and peoples have shaped the city—including the Danes, Germans, Swedes, Russians and, of course, the Estonians themselves. The tour offered a fascinating insight into how Tallinn’s buildings and urban landscape continue to tell the story of occupation, independence and life in the city right up to the present day. An educational and highly interesting tour that we would warmly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It's fascinating to hear how the tour traced Tallinn's story through all those different eras and influences, Danish, German, Swedish, Russian and Estonian, and how that really comes through in the buildings and streets themselves. That kind of layered history is exactly what makes the city so special. We'll be sure to pass this along to your guide. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing Amitylux, we hope to welcome you back for another tour sometime.

Amazing walking tour
Great walking tour with Herman showing the highlights of Tallinn. Both the historical development of Estonia all the way from the 12th century and up to recently when Estonia liberated. But also the small fun facts about the designs of the buildings, the food and the people. I highly recommend Herman and Amitylux if you visit Tallinn.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It's great to hear Herman balanced the bigger historical arc, from the 12th century through to Estonia's liberation, with those fun little details about the buildings, food and people along the way. That mix really brings a city to life. We'll be sure to pass this along to him. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing Amitylux, we hope to welcome you back for another tour sometime.

+

How many days do you need in Tallinn?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
