Old Town Private Walking Tour

The history, culture and legends of Tallinn will come alive for you on this wonderfully informative walking tour. The entire tour is on foot, as that's the best way to feel the cobblestoned streets of Old Town, which has earned its spot on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Your experienced local guide will provide an overview of the history of Tallinn and Estonia as you explore the charming historical sights of both the Lower and Upper sections of the Old Town. It's the best way to see all the famous places in one easy tour.

Baroque History: Kadriorg Palace and Park

Lahemaa National Park Group Tour

Go Bohemian in Kalamaja

Of all the neighborhoods in Tallinn, Kalamaja is one of the most exciting. This fast-growing area between Old Town and the scenic coast is known for its hip selection of cafes, shops, restaurants and bars. Once a closed-off Soviet border zone, it has seen a renaissance of development in recent years. Seaplane Harbour, the Estonian Maritime Museum, is very modern and quite interesting. It’s just one of the things worth seeing around here.

Riga From On High

What better way to start your visit to a new city than admiring the view from above? From St. Peter's Church in the old town, the Stalinist Latvian Academy of Sciences, mountainous National Library (also known as the Mountain of Light), or the Riga Radio and TV Tower (the tallest structure in the EU), extraordinary views of Riga and even the sea are easy to find. If you'd like to accompany great views with excellent drinks, we can recommend the best rooftop bar in the city so you can kick back with cocktails.

Riga Private Walking Tour

On this tour, you'll get churches and squares, dates and numbers but you will also get ghost stories, jokes, tales, odd legends and hidden gems that many miss in Riga's beautiful old center. Your tour guide will make a point of being honest about Old Riga, showing you which parts were rebuilt by the Soviets or after the country's return to independence, and what locals think is the future of the Old Town. There's no better way to get a local's point of view on the city.

Artful Architecture: Art Nouveau Tour

Riga’s Old Town is protected by UNESCO, in large part because of the gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings in the center. We suggest taking a look at some of them today. The style accounts for about 40% of Riga’s buildings, so there’s plenty to see. Alberta Street and the so-called Quiet Center, where the embassies are located, are great places to start. If you would prefer the company of an expert local guide to make sure you don't miss any of the best and most impressive details, we can arrange that for you.

Unique Uzupis

It goes back to 1995, when a group of artists erected a statue of Frank Zappa in the area and declared Uzupis an independent republic. Soon flags were being created and the energy of the place seemed to attract eccentrics from all over the country.
