    Guided day trip in Tallinn

    History & top sightsFood & drink
    History? Cultural insights? Cuisine? Medieval interiors? Residential areas? This private Tallinn day tour ticks all the boxes. The tour begins at the cruise ship terminal or your hotel with a 2.5-hour drive including stops in different neighbourhoods like Kadriorg, Pirita-Merivälja and Kalamaja. You will have enough time outside the minivan to really experience each area's unique atmosphere. You’ll also visit a former industrial landscape that's become something beautiful.

    The driving portion of the tour ends upon arrival to the Old Town. After learning some history as you stroll through the charming streets, there’s a stop for lunch at a restaurant highly-rated for both its delicious dishes and historic building.

    Thereafter, the tour continues with a pickup and drive (five to six minutes) to Toompea Hill, the Upper Old Town. You’ll visit St. Mary’s Cathedral, filled with elaborate coats of arms, and take in the view over the city from Kohtuotsa viewpoint, just to mention some of the highlights. The colourful houses and window boxes in bloom all make for great photos as you wander around at a leisurely pace. At the end of the tour, you’ll be driven back to your ferry terminal or hotel.
