Awesome day trip to Tallinn - It was a superb experience to go on a cruise, the view was absolutely stunning. The guide who was waiting for us at Tallinn was so helpful, and walked us through the old town and showed us beautiful cathedrals. He was super informative about their culture and kept us engaged. All together it was an awesome 1 day trip.

Must visit Tallinn - Super nice and cozy town. The tour package is valuable. The guide is fantastic with the pride of Estonian history story.
Walking tour is not that long but full with attractions.

Tallin is not for a beat back because it's fantastic - Tallin is so beautiful, with so many attractions and museums that it fascinates those who want to go deeper into the city.
The boat trip is great, but Tallin is not, to my mind, for a round trip

Superb Tallinn experience - Beautiful town....exceptional experience and worth a somewhat long commute. 5 people in our tour group so plenty of attention...guide was very good and gave a lot of information. Weather was much colder than Prague , however this was attended to by some hot wine.

Book this AMAZING tour! - My mom and I planned a Northern Europe trip for my birthday, and during the planning stages, we realized that Estonia was very close to Helsinki. At first, I wanted to do a self-guided tour because I don't have the patience to sit on a group tour. However, I wouldn't even know where to begin planning. I am SO glad I booked this tour. Dmitry started communicating with me two months prior to the tour to let me know he would be sharing tickets and details in the week of the tour. No follow-ups were needed—he was on top of it!
On the day of the tour, we had no issues with checking in and getting on the ship. I must say: try to be one of the first onboard to get a good seat. The ship departs early and it takes about two hours. We were still half asleep, so it was good to have one of the best seats to relax. Upon arrival, our tour guide Darja was waiting for us and started our tour right away, giving us a lot of information about Tallinn. She took us to every major sight and was so patient with us wanting to take pictures. She is also SO knowledgeable about the history of Tallinn and all the buildings. She was amazing at understanding which places excited us the most and provided extra time for us to enjoy those places. I can't thank this team enough for such an amazing experience. I am definitely coming back and will do this tour again!

Avoid this company - I have booked this tour through GetYourGuide and followed the instructions to be at the Ferry Terminal 1 hour before departure. I couldn't find anyone from Discover Estonia and when I approached Check In desk there was no information or booking placed under my name. I have paid GetYourGuide in full few days beforehand and it already was a red flag that nobody from Discover Estonia contacted me.
Calling the number provided, I was not surprised that nobody was picking up the phone. GetYourGuide could also not get hold of them and their only suggestion was to buy my own Ferry ticket (after paying 130 EUR in advance already). Just FYI return ferry ticket from Helsinki to Talinn is 27 eur and you can definitely do this tour yourselves and saving little over 100 EUR.
