An Unforgettable Day on Saaremaa and Muhu – Exceptional Tour!
Having already visited Saaremaa five years ago by plane, I was somewhat skeptical that a guided day trip could offer me much new insight. However, this tour with Lauri completely blew my expectations away! Taking the ferry over was a wonderful start, and Lauri proved to be an outstanding guide—fluent in English, a very smooth driver, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Since his parents have owned a country house on Saaremaa for many years, he knows the region inside out, sharing authentic local history and personal anecdotes that you won't find in any guidebook. Our itinerary was packed, thoughtful, and perfectly paced: Muhu Island: We started by exploring Muhu, a fascinating place I had never visited before. North-to-South Route: Crossing over to Saaremaa from the north, we made our way down toward Kuressaare, stopping at the impressive Kaali meteorite crater along the way. Kuressaare & Local Flavors: Beyond visiting the iconic Kuressaare Episcopal Castle, Lauri gave me a great tour of the town itself and picked a delightful local restaurant for lunch where we had a fantastic meal. Northern Coast & Hidden Gems: On our way back north, we visited the Angla Windmills, stopped at historic rural churches, explored a castle ruin, and took in the dramatic scenery along the northern coast. The car was extremely comfortable, and the duration and depth of the excursion provided truly immense value. Thanks to Lauri’s deep personal connection to the island, even as a returning visitor, I discovered a completely different, richer side of Saaremaa. The experience was so brilliant that I immediately booked another full-day excursion with Asko's team to Narva. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your time here and that we were able to provide best service to you! With best, Asko

Not to be missed! An...
Not to be missed! An exceptionally experienced and friendly guide, Laurie, led us for 12 hours through beautiful countryside and across the sea to many beautiful and very varied places. His local knowledge also gave a lot of insight into island life. A great tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Helen, thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad that you enjoyed our tour to Saaremaa. With best, Asko Plaado

Excellent trip and highly recommended
We did the day tour with Laury yesterday. The weather was very nice which always helps but although it’s a long day it’s certainly worth the effort. The 30 min ferry is a nice intermezzo after the drive from Tallinn and is very smooth. Muhu is a very quiet island but beautiful and worth visiting. The highlight is obviously Kuressaare which is stunning. The city itself is also beautiful. Our guide Laury was excellent, very knowledgeable and attentive. If you have the time to go outside Tallinn this is a very good and rewarding option !
Response from the operator: Dear Jan, thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad that you enjoyed our tour to Saaremaa. With best, Asko Plaado

Relaxing walks through the islands.
It was very interesting to learn about life on the islands. It offers a different perspective than that experienced in Tallinn. The guide was kind and very attentive to meet our expectations. Notable is the walk through Muhu among the scent of the lilies.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the feedback! I am so glad that you enjoyed our tour.

Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tallinn.
How much does Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn cost?
+
Prices start at $216 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tallinn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tallinn is not rushed.
Is Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tallinn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tallinn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tallinn and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Saaremaa and Muhu Island Experience from Tallinn start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tallinn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tallinn?
+
On Outty we rank every Tallinn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Old Town Tallinn Historical Walking Tour, Lahemaa National Park Day Trip, Day Trip to Lahemaa National Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tallinn?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
