Holy moly! I had a great time on the Funky Bike Tour! The group was small, and I got to see things I would have never discovered otherwise. All of this along with an anecdotal history of cowboy capitalism. Everyone at Tallinn Traveller made my trip to Estonia one I will never forget, I cannot recommend them enough!

Description

Unbeknown to many, there’s another side to Tallinn beyond its shiny modern exterior and charming medieval streets. And you needn’t wander far from the city’s Old Town walls to discover it.

This funky bike tour takes you off the typical tourist trail to Kalamaja – a charming neighbourhood rich in history. A fun and friendly local guide will lead you along quiet backstreets past historic wooden houses, industrial Soviet landscapes, a curious Russian flea market and many other hidden gems. To top it all off, you’ll get a taste of life in what was once Estonia’s most notorious prison. No need to worry – it tastes quite nice.

Our young and entertaining guides will show you places that you would never stumble across on your own and share personal stories about Estonia from the perspective of the local youth.

After trying to book the national park, we had unfortunately left it too late so instead opted for the Funky Bike Tour and Ghost Tour. The bike tour was very interesting and our tour guide Catherine was brilliant. She had amazing knowledge of the area. We loved exploring the old soviet factories. The second tour was the ghost tour and was also very informative and our tour guide (another Catherine) was again great. She also gave us some brilliant suggestions for not just Tallinn but Moscow as well. Delicious hot chocolate at the end! Very good email correspondence as well. Definitely recommend!
Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive
Maria was awesome. She was knowledgeable and answered all our extra questions with ease. The day was planned well and we definitely got a lot more out of it than we ever would on our own. Thanks Maria.
