Tallinn Old Town walking tour from cruise terminal with transferA private walking tour of Tallinn Old Town departing from the cruise terminal with round-trip transfer, a guide in English, and entry to St. Mary's Cathedral.

Maximum five people per group.Is it for me?Book this if you want to steer the tour yourself—your private guide adjusts the route and depth based on what interests you, rather than following a set itinerary with a group.
Tallinn Old Town Walking Tour: Medieval Streets & ViewsA two-hour walking tour of Tallinn Old Town led by a local guide in English, covering the medieval cobblestone streets, historic churches, merchant houses and defensive structures that shaped the city.

Tallinn Private Walking Tour with a Local GuideA private walking tour of Tallinn led by a local Lokafyer—not a professional guide with a memorized script, but someone who knows the city and adapts the route to your interests.

The walk is unscripted and personalized, so by the end you'll have insights and tips to keep exploring on your own.Is it for me?Choose a 2-hour tour if you want a quick neighborhood walk or introduction to a specific area; go for 4 to 6 hours if you want to move between different parts of the city and dig deeper into what interests you.
