The day trip of Tallin from Helsinki was excellent. The tour organisation was first class from receiving the ferry tickets a couple of days before, meeting the guide at the terminal in Tallin, to the pickup in the old town and return to the Ferry Anastasia met us at the ferry terminal in Tallin and gave us a driving tour of Tallin and a walking tour of the Old City. The tour was eductional, informative and very enjoyable, highlighting the best of Tallin. Anastasia also provided some excellent tips on cafes and restaurants to visit in the free time you have at the end of the walking tour. We also enjoyed the small group aspect of the tour. Other than my wife and I our tour group only included one other person. A thoroughly enjoyable day in Tallin. Highly recommended.

Awesome trip! Our guide, Elena was very knowledgeable and very kind. Was nice to have transportation taken care of for a worry-free excursion. I was pretty tired but found the tour to be at a relaxing pace with some downtime at the end. Loved this beautiful city and learned a lot!

Weeks ahead we received our tickets and instructions from Dmitry, which was very helpful. The checking at the ferry was very easy, the ferry had live music, drinks, even karaoke. Loved Tallinn. Our guide Yelena showed us around with humor and pride. The city is beautiful and it was a wonderful day spent visiting the capital city of Estonia.

Helen was an incredibly knowledgeable guide ! Estonia has such amazing history and is truly at the crossroads of Scandinavia and the Slavic world. The ferry is superb and has so many amenities.

Anastasia was a wonderful guide, she gave insight into people's lives in Estonia. It was like having a conversation with a good and informed friend. It is a wonderful city full of excitement. The communication before and after the trip can be improved though - we did not know how to verify our tickets, was not sure where we would meet our guide and at the end of the tour, the bus that should have taken us to the boat did not arrive. After waiting 20 minutes, we decided to walk so we could get on the boat in time. Two way communication would help to confirm what one should do and where to go.

An early start from Tallinn (7.30) was worth a great day out. The Megastar Tallink ferry is more like a luxury cruise ship with restaurants, cafes, bars and a well stocked shop. We hardly noticed the 2hr journey. Once there, head to the Tourist info for ideas what to do (church in the rock, new library building, train station, excursion to the islands).

Monica_J

Very well managed and we were provided all the info beforehand. Roman was good and knowledgeable. We were not rushed anywhere. Only one suggestion instead of giving the bus registration/ number plate, we should have had bus number. Day trip to Tallinn is definitely worth visiting.

Great tour, I was sent a directions and an electronic ticket to board the ferry, the ferry ride is great, ship has lots of dining options, live entertainment And some shops. The guide meet us as instructed. We were given a fantastic 3 hour tour of the historic center. Our guide Anastasia was terrific. We had about we had abut 3 hours on our own to sightsee, shop or dine. It’s a beautiful city and a great day out. I loved the experience.

Even though the journey is a couple of hours, there is so much to do on the boat, that it went by fast. Good location to be dropped off at, which allowed us to travel around the country for the day, before coming back to the port
