Digital Nomads and Start Up Culture

One of the purposes of my trip was to understand and get to know more about this "digital Nomads Hub" which is called Tallinn. And I was not disappointed. George was the perfect guide to tell about its startup scene since he is involved on every day basis on its development, I mean, as a UX/Service Designer, he knew about the most representative start ups, its story of success, mixed with local story about specific politics that allowed the upbringing of digital innovations in Tallinn.
He explained details about the e-residency program, how nearby countries started to look at Tallinn, or the flux of highly skilled professionals that landed in the city to make a living by freelancing, pitching projects or enjoying their stay at the many co-work places.
Stories of success and failure, of design and innovation, politics and social/economical change.
If you want to know the very same core of this wonderful city, besides exploring its beautiful sight seeings, book this tour. I recommend it strongly.

:D!!!!!

Exploring the Tallinn startup scene (amazing experience)

I truly enjoyed the tour.

It provided me with a lot of useful information on what the startup scene in Tallinn looks like - what industries are the most popular, what are the most important hubs, how and where to find the investors...

Even more important, this tour has motivated me to keep hustling on my own startup and work hard towards becoming a huge company one day.

For all people with the entrepreneurial mindset, if you are coming to Tallinn, this tour is a must-do thing.

See the real Tallinn!

This was your was a fun way to see the city and get a personalized tour to learn about the history and current state of Tallinn and Estonia. Our guide, Leah, was knowledgeable and flexible sharing both the country/vity’s History but her own perspective as well. We had fantastic conversations over meals as well as feeling comfortable to stop along our rides to take photos or pop into a shop. If you only have a day to explore this wonderful, vibrant city, this tour is a must!

Tallinn Food & Bike Tour

very good.

When you visited Tallinn, and only see the Old Town, New Town and as such in regular guidebooks, you have seen only the half aspect of the city, or maybe you missed 80% of it. What you should really see is its startup scene, which has been the most leading tech community in the world. George, the tour guide, was very informative and helpful, that made my experience profound. Highly recommended!

Friendly, kindness, and deeply understanding explanation

The staff was well-known about not only his Estonian IT company, but also European IT business.
I got information about my interest very much, what technological trying in Estonia is currently.
He also introduced Riga in Latvia's start up information that is my next destination. That was so interesting time.

Relevant, insightful, well structured and well delivered

I met George, but spent most of my time with Roman. The format Roman used was very useful in terms of prompting conversation about those things that were of interest to me. His knowledge of the Tallinn startup community made him an invaluable source of relevant information. He gave me very insightful and highly relevant answers to all of my questions and even followed up by sending me relevant links to topics of interest and of use to me. He was remarkably fluent in all of the matters which I wanted to discuss. Having been inside Lift 99, I would like to use their facilities in the future. There's no substitute for actually being inside a hub to see how things are done in that particular culture, which can vary a lot from place to place. I was informed about relevant events in Tallinn. Knowing which networking opportunities, as well as workspace opportunities are available in Tallinn are was of particular value to me. I found the tour invaluable and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone entering the Tallinn startup scene.

A great biking experience

This was a somewhat out of season trek, and only my wife and I were on it. I have been to Tallinn at least 3 or 4 times in the past, and this was her first visit. Christjian was the guide, and he did a great job I learned more about the history, culture, and character of Tallinn in 2.5 hours than in my previous trips. This was a great way to get out of old town area - with its stunning architecture, and see a bit more of the city. Our weather was in the 8-10 degree C range, and worked well. We wore gloves the last half hour. Easy going, accommodating, savvy - just what you want. I like bike tours like this, and this was excellent. Christjian gave us a restaurant recommendation just ourside of old town and west of the train station - was our best meal of the trip.

Couldn’t be better!

We had such a wonderful time. Despite being very busy that day, Nordic Experience found a way to give our family a private tour we’ll never forget. Our tour guide, Erik, was a wealth of knowledge. He told us history not only of Estonia but of the whole region while walking us around Talinn. He was kind and patient with our children and very accommodating for Grandma who has some mobility issues. After the walking tour, he took us to the Viking Village where we had an outstanding meal and then a ton of fun throwing axes, shooting bows and arrows, and flinging a trebuchet. The kids had a blast while we all actually learned lots of history. Wonderful!

Amazing tour, custom experience

We loved the tour had and are so thankful we booked a private tour and did not go through the ship! It was easy for our small group to tell our guide we needed more or less time somewhere and ask questions based on our particular interests. When we wanted to make one extra stop, it was no problem. The guide was informative and passionate about Estonia and told us personal storied and things that we never would have learned in a big group. We are SO glad we found this and were able to book it for our day in beautiful Estonia!

Nice memory

I didn't join this tour myself as I bought this as a gift for couple who were in Tallinn in their honeymoon. But based on feedback they gave me afterwards this was really nice tour and great memories from Tallinn. Ernest has been really great and he even picked the couple from their hotel when they were running late on their schedule because of traffic. He is flexible and easy to communicate with. Also he seems to be really nice and easy-going guy who is good photographer. Recommend this tour for others also!

Incredible insight into the startup environment

George has a great network and took me completely by surprise, offering one of the best tours I have ever experienced.
I highly recommend this tour, regardless of your interest for ''startups''.
This scene is what will define Estonia in years to come.
I also recommend doing this tour AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because George will help you find out about what is going on in town during the remainder of your stay.

My mother and I signed up for the Tallinn bike tour on a recent trip to Estonia. We lucked out with perfect, sunny weather. There were six in our group and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We really appreciated the opportunity to get out of the crowded Old Town to see a bit more of "real" Tallinn. We biked up along the coast which provided a great view looking back at the city. Highly recommended.
