This is a great day trip! everything ran smoothly. the ferry over is great, with Entertainment in the bar. I read that it could be really busy so we were there early to get a good spot, but it wasn't too bad, but it was February! The guide was waiting for us and took us to the bus that took us to the old town. such a pretty city and even in Feb we had beautiful blue skies. The guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. afterwards we had time to go for a meal before meeting the bus to go back to the ferry. would highly recommend.
The adventure started with the ferry ride from Helsinki. A very well appointed ferry with food, drink, shopping and entertainment to pass the time. On arrival in Tallinn we were met by Julia, a lovely local, who entertained us for nearly 3 hours as we walked through the Old Town. Her knowledge of Estonia, its history and people was very thorough and she was happy to answer questions. After leaving Julia we had lunch at a local restaurant, which served modern Estonian cuisine and much was delicious. We were picked up and returned to the ferry terminal with no fuss. A long day, as we arrived n Helsinki just before 9pm. However it was well worth it. Estonia is a lovely country and the history of the Old Town, including its buildings was well worth the trip.
