Day tour to Tallinn from Helsinki - Fabulous tour of qaint Tallinn.
Svetlana, my guide, was very informative and patient. I booked for small walking group. It was so small - only me - so I had a fantastic one on one experience. Logistics was good but perhaps information on redeeming the ferry ticket could be better explained or more details provided.

Great day in Tallin - It was a comfortable ferry ride The guide gave good directions for all stages of the tour. Long day but everyone found something they enjoyed, from teenager to grandparent. It was a lot of walking but not too difficult. Great experience, learning about Tallin.

Tallinn tour - The ferry ride is at least 2 hours each way on a large ferry with restaurants, activities, etc. for entertainment. The city tour is fairly short (2 hours) with a lot of information provided.

I was in a group where I was separated, and they gave me a private tour in Spanish (I do not remember selecting it that way; I had no preference for English or Spanish), while the rest of the group received a much more complete and longer tour. My guide was very kind and friendly; however, he jumped from one story to another without concluding any. I do not know if I would repeat this tour; if I had done it on my own, it would have been the same.

Mixed bag - The tour of old town was very interesting and informative. A Beautiful old city.
The boat ride was fairly unpleasant. There was no decent seating on the ship - just uncomfortable metal chairs around small tables and a few slightly padded seats along the walls. It was crowded and many people were drinking to excess. Couldn’t wait to get off!
