About this experience
A demon lurking in an old well. A bag of gold that turns to horse dung at the Devil's Wedding. And the world's oldest national flag, said to have fallen from the sky right here in Tallinn. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through 15 stops across Tallinn's medieval Old Town, from the ghost monks of the Danish King's Garden to the 600-year-old pharmacy that once sold mummy juice and powdered unicorn horn. You'll hear the legend of how a giant's grieving wife built an entire hill from stones, discover why a painted window on Rataskaevu Street has stayed sealed for centuries, and walk the cobblestoned streets where Hanseatic merchants once shaped Northern Europe's trade routes. With the Tourific Self- Guided tour app you can navigate without internet and explore at your own pace which makes it perfect for solo travellers and families. No need to run after guides anymore. Over 20,000 travellers have used our self-guided tours. The tour comes with a full refund guarantee.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tallinn.
How much does Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 31 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 Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of 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 Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of Tallinn?
+
Around 11 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monks, Ghosts and Legends Self Guided Tour of 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.
