This National Park is stunning! You can spend several days in here and never get bored. Viru bog is my favourite part. You can swim in some of the lakes!

We had a great day visiting Lahemaa National Park which includes wetlands, peat bogs, forests and coastal beaches. The whole day was excellent and varied. Our guide, Karl, was very knowledgeable, interesting and courteous, giving insights into Estonia's history, language, customs and especially its nature. The walks were easily managed by our 6 person group.

He is very attentive and he showed us a few extra sights in Tallinn, shared details on Estonia's history, culture and nature. He even gave us great tips for our upcoming trip to Helsinki. We enjoyed a lot the trip to the Lahemaa National park and we learned a lot of interesting things. We definitely recommend this private tour with Roman!
