    A tour beyond mere ghosts

    A really great intro into the whole old town of Tallinn. Our first tour in the city, gave us a great overview of the whole town.

    Wonderful tour and guide

    Lena was the most amazing guide! She was knowledgeable, articulate, funny. We loved her engaging storytelling style and the way she made historic events come alive! It was like we were hanging out with an old friend.

    Tallinn Ghost and Legends walking tour did not disappoint!

    One of our favorite things to do in any city we visit is take a ghost tour, and the Tallinn Ghost and Legends walking tour did not disappoint! The tour operator, Janne, contacted us through Viator to ask what time worked best for us to take the tour. We agreed on 1700. Our tour guide, Liisi, met us in the lobby of our Old Town hotel and led us all over the cobblestone streets of Tallinn. She spoke English very well, and she did an outstanding job of telling the history and ghost legends of Tallinn's many medieval sites. Dress warm and wear comfortable shoes, because it's cold, windy, and icy in Tallinn in February.

    Canceled the tour only 2,5 hours before the start, when we were already on our way.

    They've cancelled the tour only 2,5 hours before the start time. We were already on our way there, paid for the train tickets, gave up other plans, and as a result, lost money, time, and a chance to book some other tour, as it was already too late. Seriously, if you want to cancel, cancel at least 12 hours in advance, but not 2,5 hours, when some people might be already on their way! Absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. So, my advice: if you don't want to find yourself in a similar situation, don't deal with them, and find a more trustworthy tours organizer.

    Response from the operator: Hi This indeed happened. Sadly the guide who was signed up for the tour had a call from home and due to a family emergency asked if he could not do it. We did our best to find someone quick to cover, but as it was low season and most of our guides have also second full-time jobs (still under the influence of what has happened in the world and tourism has not recovered fully) we were forced to cancel. I would have never wanted to cancel the tour but in this case, on a personal level, we really had to as it was a very personal family matter. I am truly sorry about it and it would have been our absolute pleasure to offer you a tour! Deep apologies Marii

    Informative and fun tour in the snow

    Fantastic ghost tour. Our guide was very lively and informative. We learnt a lot about the town and also a plenty of ghost stories. Our 2 kids 16 & 11 loved it also even though it was snowing and freezing for the whole 90 minutes. Brilliant!

    Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tallinn.

    How much does Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 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 Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 40 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 Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 14 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour 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.

    What is included in Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?

    +

    We meet just outside the City Tourist Information Center in Tallinn Old Town Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Tallinn. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Tallinn Ghost and Legends Walking Tour?
