The experience

The day starts with a VIP car pickup in Helsinki that takes you to the ferry terminal. The ferry crossing takes 2 hours each way, and dinner is included on board. You eat while the Baltic Sea spreads out around you. Once you arrive in Tallinn, your guide meets you at the terminal and leads a 3-hour private tour through the city's main highlights: the cobblestone streets of the UNESCO-listed Old Town with its medieval churches and merchant houses that date back centuries, then Kadriorg Park, a sprawling green space built around Kadriorg Palace where you can walk at your own pace.

Because this is a private tour, only your group participates: no strangers, no fixed group size beyond what you book. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of two other languages, so you choose what works for your party. After the 3-hour tour ends, you have free time to grab lunch, walk the streets on your own, or shop before heading back to the ferry terminal for the return crossing to Helsinki, where a VIP car meets you again and takes you to your hotel.

Comfortable shoes are worth packing since the Old Town is all cobblestone and the tour mixes walking with short car rides through the newer districts beyond the medieval walls. The ferry has a buffet dinner on both crossings, and the vehicle is air-conditioned for the city transfers.
