This private tour is a great way to discover one of Europe's best preserved medieval settlements - Tallinn's Old Town. These cobbled streets will take you on a journey 800 years back in time to the foundation of this once glorious and wealthy port town. 

On this tour we will focus on the most important aspects of the Old Town. Enjoy historic tales of bygone eras and colourful legends told to you by our experienced guides. As a UNESCO world heritage site and often referred to as the “Jewel of the Baltic,” this city offers architecture from Gothic to Baroque and Renaissance, from Art Deco to Soviet. Immerse yourself within a history rich in war and culture, intrigue and chivalry.

We offer a personalised and friendly service with professional and educated guides. It is our wish to give you the best experience and value for your time.

For centuries, this part of Tallinn was home to the nobility, with highborn families ranging from German to Danish, Russian to Swedish, as well as Scottish and French calling it their home. Learn who were the Baltic Germans, visit spectacular viewpoints looking down on the Lower Town and get a chance to compare Orthodox and Lutheran churches.  

As the medieval city's center of trade and commerce, not to mention home to the majority of the settlement's population, the Lower Town was the heart of Old Tallinn for well over 600 years and continues to play an important role to this day.  

As an important center for trade on the Baltic, Tallinn needed to be well fortified. The wall, built and expanded over several centuries, is a must see site during any visit to Tallinn.  

Often regarded as medieval workers' unions, the guilds were the basis of medieval urban economy. Their grand halls can be found decorating the streets of the Old Town to this very day. How they functioned and what they did will be explored during the tour. 

Dating back 8 centuries, Tallinn has seen a lot during its existence. Invaders, cultures, art styles and more have all come and gone, and each have left their own mark on the city's landscape and structures. Out guides will make certain you will get to see a wide range of styles if that is your fancy. 

We want to share with you our knowledge of and enthusiasm for everyday life in medieval Tallinn - how the city functioned, who lived here and why did so many large nations, such as Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Poland and the Teutonic Order, fight over this small piece of land for centuries. 

Though small, Tallinn and Estonia hold a great many secret...
