Old Tallin walking tour with rain - The guide ( can’t recall her name) was very detailed in her explanations and stories of old tallin. Despite the rain and some late comers she was still very patient. She also recommendations on where the r what to eat. For 2Hrs a bit expensive but it’s ok.

Great tour! - After visiting the wonderful city of Tallinn, we didn't expect much from our Helsinki tour, but we were pleasantly surprised. Emek's tour was all encompassing, and every question we had was answered graciously. We had a new found appreciation for Helsinki because the tour was so well done and extremely interesting. We have done walking tours all over the world, and Emek's tour was one of the best!

Don’t wait, the tour is definitely worth it!!! - This was a great tour! Karyna was hospitable and knowledgeable about the city and its sights. As a native Estonian she gave us great recommendations on food and other places to visit during our stay. We also did the free walking tour provided by the visitor center. I was worried that there was going to be a lot of overlap, but it was very little and we learned unique stories and facts from each. So I would definitely recommend!

Great Overview To Get Your Bearings - Weather was trash but the tour guide was lovely. We were in a small group of maybe 12 and our tour guide very sweet and informative, I felt like we got a good overview of the city layout and history. Enough to know where to focus our deeper dive visits over the following couple days. Obviously there was nothing to be done about the rain and mist (though it was giving Edinburgh in October not Tallinn in June). But regardless we had a great time.
