    Great tour of Old Town

    Once we got off of our ship, we were able to step back in time for a few hours and discover what life was like a very long time ago. We also enjoyed the Seaplane tour and had an opportunity to climb into a submarine. Our guide was great and very informative about the history of Tallin.

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Have a great trip full of impressive memories.

    Overwhelming

    Although outside of the old town, only a relatively short walk that is well worth it. A huge redevelopment of the old harbour has led to the creation of this vast museum full of interesting exhibits. The gem must be the submarine which you can walk around providing you can get through the limited space.

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Have a wonderful Christmas time.

    Fabulous

    Great to see and hear history on Old town and its evolution . Our guide was fab and very knowledgeable fantastic english and answered every question and showed us little places we had missed on our own walk around. Keyed everything together and explained the significance of each The seaplane harbour was great and to be able to explore the ice breaker and submarine was fab . As a side note next door to seaplane harbour is an old prison that is currently closed until May 2020 but looks well worth a visit our guide recommended it and the walk past piqued my interest. Well worth it great value and interesting

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour. Have a great Christmas! :)

    Great introduction to Tallinn and Estonia

    Great introduction to Tallinn and Estonia. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history. Estonia has a brutal past, and has had numerous invaders, gaining its independence from the Soviets in 1991. Its amazing the old town has survived - its very beautiful. After our walk in the old town, we then went down to the Sea Plane museum past the old prison - which sounds chilling. The Sea Plane museum is fantastic. Beautiful building and great food for a late lunch. We finished our tour feeling that we had a better understanding of the history of Estonia, and maybe, just maybe an insight into the culture, as well as the courage, fortitude and stoic nature of the Estonians.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Janice, for the thorough feedback and kind words! We are happy to hear, that you liked the tour and Seaplane Harbour museum.

    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?

    +
