About this experience

This private full-day trip takes you to see the beautiful city of Tallinn that looks like fairy tale picture. The Old Town is so charming and medieval it makes you feel as if you have stepped back in time, colorful architecture and a labyrinth of small boutique stores selling something for every taste, such as antiques and handmade souvenirs. This full-day tour starts with a pickup from your Helsinki hotel early in the morning to board the ferry to take you to see the medieval city of Tallinn. You will start this very interesting tour from the harbor with your guide. It takes about 3 hours by foot and before you walk back to the harbor you will have 3-4 hours to spend in the city at leisure.
