Our private tour guide was Jana and she was very informative on the 4 hour walking tour. She provided the most accessible paths as possible for a power wheelchair. We were able to see both the old and new town along with extra time to shop before boarding the ship.
This was well coordinated in the use of our time to see and get the feel of the history of both the new and old town. Highly recommend this.
We contacted Nordic via Whatsapp when we were on our way at the Tallink Silja ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. So glad that Maria could make herself available at such short notice.
She spoke good English. She brought us, a family of 5 (with 3 young children) so entertained. She brought us to the Marzipan workshop, which the kids got so involved in it. This whole Scandi trip has been quite boring for the kids, but Maria was very entertaining. She could tell interesting stories about Tallinn for the children and we could see that Maria has passion in her eyes for what she is doing. She talked about the history of Tallinn in a very detailed way, and we were never once bored. She knows Tallinn inside out. There was not a single question she couldn’t answer.
She whole heartedly follow the pace of our family, taking pictures and wait for us to shop for souvenirs along the way, never at once rushed us to the next destinations. We took a 5hr guide with vehicle with Maria and she kept on filling us with informations about Tallinn. We went to both the old town and the modern one. We practically covered everything we want to know about Tallinn!
At the end of the tour, we knew Tallinn so much. The whole tour was so enjoyable. Turns out a day trip in Tallinn is enough, we are so glad we got Maria as our Tallinn guide!
Nordic (Estonian) Experience personnel were extremely helpful via e-mail; booking and pre-paying on-line prior to my cruise vacation was super easy. Our tourist guide, Erik met us exactly at the meeting place as described in the confirmation e-mail provided by Nordic Experience. Our group of 10 with Erik leading the way walked over to Old Tallinn. Erik’s knowledge of all things Estonia was nothing short of extraordinary! He was a highlight of our Baltic cruise. There was no question posed that he was unable to answer. Walking around Old Town could prove difficult for some; the streets are cobblestone, uneven at times and there are steep inclines when venturing toward Upper Old Town. The walking tour lasted 3 hours which gave plenty of time to wander, stop in for a local brew and shop prior to returning to the cruise ship. Erik was kind enough to school us on how best to return to the cruise terminal area. The Old Town is beautiful and is a medieval wonderland at every corner. I would highly recommend the Medieval Tallinn Walking Tour with Nordic Experience. They did not disappoint and neither did the tour guide they assigned to our group off the Serenade of the Seas.
