I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour of Tallinn Old Town with Elina as our guide, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. Elina was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, passionate, and a brilliant storyteller. She brought the city’s history to life in a way that was engaging, insightful, and full of warmth. It felt like discovering Tallinn through the eyes of someone who deeply loves and understands it. She also shared great local tips and recommendations that were genuinely helpful and added even more value to the experience. It’s rare to find a guide who is both so professional and so personally attentive. I highly recommend taking a tour with Elina, she made the experience unforgettable! 😊
