Ananya – India

The guide must have a bigger placard to draw the attention of the passenger at the Tallinn sea port. We missed the guide. There should be some communication through WhatsApp or mail on the day of the visit so that the whereabouts of the guide in Tallinn can be discussed.

Shirley – Puerto Rico

Everything was excellent, including the tour guide, the city, and the transportation. Tallin is an amazing city that resembles a fantastical tale. Katiria, the tour guide, was excellent, kind, and knowledgeable. We really like her. Thanks

Full description

Cross the Gulf of Finland by ferry and join a guided city tour of Tallinn on a day tour from Helsinki. Step back to medieval times in Old Town, and see past Russian influences in the architecture of Aleksander Nevski Cathedral and Kadriog Park.


After an easy 2-hour ferry crossing from Finland to Estonia, you will be met at the port by your guide. Your guided city tour will take in all the major sites of Tallinn, followed by some free time to explore at your own pace.

The most popular destination in Tallinn is Old Town, an area which has maintained its medieval character and charm to this day. Stroll the cobblestone streets, walk through ivy-covered Viru Gate and explore the gothic Town Hall.


On Toompea Hill discover the perfectly pink Toompea Castle, built in the 13th century, now home to Estonia's parliament. Directly across from the castle is Aleksander Nevski Cathedral. This striking Russian Orthodox-style cathedral with onion bulb domes will certainly capture your attention.


You will visit the viewing points and cover all the highlights on the medieval part of Tallinn


At the end of the day you will return to the port for your ferry trip back to Helsinki where your tour ends but memories will remain.

  • Guided tour in Tallinn
