    Great evening of ghosts and history

    Erik did an amazing toyr with us. He tailored it to our needs and is an excellent story teller weaving history, culture, and ghost stories making it both informative and fun. I highly recommend spending a few hours with Erik in the old town of Tallin!

    Exellent tour. Our guide was a very nice and professional person, knew his city inside out and made us comfortable and wellcome. Felt that he could tell so much more interesting stories if we had had a different kind of tour. Thank you and warm recommendations

    Response from the operator: Thank you very for your wonderful feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your tour :)

    Really cool

    Having been in Tallinn for a few months already, I was rather surprised to find that I would learn something new about the city on a ghost tour. My local friends took me along and we had a great time. Pretty much every street has at least a couple of bone-chilling tales. The guide was really cool and a lot of fun. We had the tour after sunset. Anyone planning on doing the same should pack some gloves :)

    Tallinn Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tallinn Ghost Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $223 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 Tour 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 Tallinn Ghost Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Tallinn Ghost 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tallinn Ghost Tour?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tallinn Ghost 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 Tour?

    +

    Included: Certified Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tallinn Ghost Tour?

    +

    The tour starts next to the two towers of Viru Gate (right next to the flower market). The guide will be holding a sign which read "Ghost Tour." Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tallinn Ghost 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 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.

    Is Tallinn Ghost Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tallinn Ghost 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 Tour?

    +

    Across 5 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, photo opportunities. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
