Great experience of Old Tallinn - Tour guide was very knowledgeable, spoke good English and had some good recommendations! Being in a small group was good to be able to hear the tour guide, ask questions easier and connect with the group more. We visited a couple of shops trying different samples of schnapps, honey, mustard and chutneys. Had two sit down meals; mushroom soup in ‘a monks basement’ and modern Estonian cuisine at Farm Restaurant. Learned a great lot about Estonian culture, cuisine and history!

Fun and informative food tour of Tallinn! - We stopped at four locations to try traditional liquor, mushroom soup (our favorite - we came back to Munga Kelder the next day for more), brown bread, honey and jams, and a tasting menu at Farm (pate, smoked fish, caviar, beef tartar) and kama for dessert. My husband and I were the only people on this food tour, which made the experience intimate and a lot more personalized. Svetlana was a fantastic guide and gave us a map of her recommended museums, hot chocolate cafe, and restaurants. Highly recommend for one of your first days in Tallinn to get a history of the city and for exploring new places to visit (and restaurants to return to). Great value for the cost of the tour!

Not worth the money - We tried a local liquor, a mushroom soup, got free samples af jam and honey in a souvenir shop and a tasting menu at restaurant Farm. Very little for much money and no visit to the local food market but lots and lots of photos on a smartphone of Estonian food. The guide Roman is very friendly and knowledgeable but still…..

Cannot recommend - We visited two stores which I could’ve done on my own, tasting a shot of Schnspps and then some honey. We had a bowl of mushroom soup and then ended at a restaurant where there were several tastings of different meats and a dessert. I have done many food tours throughout Europe and generally, we go to many different little stops. We go to a bakery, taste some meat and cheese in a deli, a slice of pizza here, a glass of wine there some gelato here, this was very underwhelming and I would not recommend. There is an area of Tallinn that has a food hall with all different kinds of ethnic food that would’ve been much more enjoyable to do a food tour there and learn more about the history of food and what they eat in this part of the world. Also, I made the mistake of bringing up politics and the tour guide felt it was her duty to supposedly present both sides of political issue, but in my opinion, she spewed Putin propaganda and told me that the USA was at fault for the Ukraine war. I told her absolutely this is not true and was very upset by her comment. I left Svetlana a tip and regret doing so.

Solo Traveller Experience - okay - The tour was good since I learned a bit of history on Estonia and heard some things about Medieval stories, however I did not go to all of the stops on the tour that are outlined in the description, half of the places we went to were places with free samples and if I wanted more I would need to pay for it in my own time, and I was the only one on the tour which I didn’t feel comfortable with a male-tour guide who was making some gender-related remarks here and there. Whilst I still enjoyed the food, I don’t think it’s worth it unless you have a group going with you. I would’ve rather have known I was the only one on the tour and cancelled it.

This is not a trustworthy business. - The tour guide was at least ten minutes late and didn't call, so I left. Apparently he showed up eventually, but still didn't bother calling me. They are apparently not interested in taking responsibility for their shortcomings. The company has refused to refund me for the service they did not provide.

Avoid these people. - I would advise not doing business with this company. They are dishonest and rude. The tour guide was at least 10 minutes late and didn't bother calling, so I left and asked for a refund. The guy at the company first lied about the lateness of the guide, then admitted it and still rudely refused the refund.

Not worth it. Tour ≠ description - The tour was an hour short of what was advertised. One stop was going to a store to try their free samples of mustard. Other stops were skipped altogether because they were too crowded. Food provided is not what was advertised in the description you've read. Hard to get in touch with the tour company to attempt to resolve these errors. I firmly recommend you avoid this tour.
