10 Best Local Tours in Tallinn

Tallinn Motor Paintball was the surprise activity for my weekend stag do. I can honestly say it made for the best weekend of my life! Every single one of the nine lads who came along absolutely loved it. We are still sharing war stories days later and it provided so much fun.

Right from initially entering the ex military base, with old vehicles and concrete bunkers setting the scene, we were filled with excitement. Combining vans and other vehicles with paint balling is a genius idea and none of us had experienced anything like it. The scenarios were fast paced, challenging and exciting. They ranged from capture the flag with vehicle insertion and reconnaissance to a hostage rescue using a van and smoke screen. Of course the final challenge ‘shoot the stag’ provided a lot of entertainment.

The location was excellent providing varied battle areas in the woods and amongst bunkers. The vehicles were modified to shoot out from and insert or extract troops on the various challenges.

The gentleman running the day and his assistant were very good humored and had a lot of patience. He explained all the scenarios well and ensured we knew what we were doing and got the most out of each mission. I could go back tomorrow and do it all again. We all had such a great laugh. The bus ride back was great recounting so many moments from the day.

Thank you so much for such a memorable and enjoyable day. I couldn’t recommend Tallinn Motor Paintball more!

I had an absolutely fantastic time running with Toomas. He asked me if he could bring his dog and I said of course, and that was a great decision- his dog is awesome, and kept me entertained the whole run. We saw large parts of the city I never would have been able to see in such a short trip, and it was beautiful. We ran at a great pace for me, with a couple quick water/snack breaks (and a couple photo breaks), and he was easily able to accommodate my requested distance. Usually I just try to figure out a route on my own when I'm in a new city, but this was great- I didn't have to spend any time looking at my map trying to figure out where I was or deciding if somewhere was safe, etc. Highly, highly recommend doing this.

The saturday morning run was really awesome. Toomas took me through windy and snowy Tallinn for a 14km run. Because of the heavy wind we started running with tailwind to the Soviet memorial, and while we warmed up we went back through Kadriogh Park, ran along the palace, through the embassy neighbourhood, to the song festival stage en through the harbour.
We ran at a convenient pace (11km/h) and Toomas told me a lot about the city, the origins and the Soviet history.

I really recommend this trip for people who love to run.

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!

We met Toomas, our local guide, at eight am, in just an hour run he brought us in very nice surroundings, along the seashore, and to the heaven, always explaining and showing us things. He also gave us some good tips on restaurants and beer houses. The best way to start the day in the amazing Tallinn. Thank you, Toomas!

We took our team of 6 out beer tasting with Martin and learned a lot. He can speak about brewing to dummies like us and make it fun and interesting – using slides spiced with videos and a little bit of beer history from around the world. The selection of beers we tasted was varied and the amount just about right.

Me and my friends did a beer tasting with Martin when he used to run a small Malaysian wok place. He had a nice selection of local Estonian craft beer for us and he knows how to bring out their interesting sides and aftertastes. Always great to talk to him about the local beer scene!

Running is always a good way to know the place you visited for the first time. Of course, you should know where to run and not to run for safety reasons. Then, here is the running tour for you. Running with the local tour guide is the perfect solution. Highly recommended!

Amazing run through Tallinn in the morning.

Toomas was a great guide. He adapted the run to the agreed pace and distance. While running he also told interesting things about all the wonderful things we saw.

The photoshoot was an enjoyable experience. Ernest is a very friendly person who knows a lot about Tallinn and its history. We really love the pictures. Definitely recommend his service.

I can say it was really worth it. The tour guide took care of ecerybody and made us feel part of the group. U can learn So much stuff! I’ll surely do it again next Time!

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had chats about lots of stuff, not just beer. A great event and I recommend it.

Martin was fun and entertaining guide.
We had a great afternoon on a beer tasting and
I can recommend this to anyone.

Very friendly guide, a great and bracing introduction to the City!

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.

Informative, interesting, delicious, friendly, great value for money are just some of the words that spring to mind. Martin is extremely knowledgeable about his subject but explains everything in a way that you can fully understand. You find out about the history of beer making, the various Types of beer being made today a loads of other interesting things. Best of all you get to taste some really good beer! Book this to increase your knowledge and understanding of the various different types of beers along with and tasting some really good beers! Martin not only knows his stuff but makes it very interesting and involves you fully. After tasting 7 or so beers you are ready for something to eat. Ask Martin to recommend the local burger joint. You won't be disappointed.

The Estonian Craft Beer Tasting & History is definitely a must-do if you're in Tallin and if you love beers. You'll end up in an old Estonian fraternity house, sit at a long table and sip a lot of really good beers. The environment itself is not like that of a brewery, but it'll let you see an aspect of Estonian life that you would not get to know otherwise. The tour itself consists of you sitting, tasting and having a really good talk with Martin (the guy who hosts the tour). He has a good knowledge on beers and, whether you're a novice or an expert in the field, you may actually get to know something new. Overall, it was really a good experience and I would definitely do it again if I were to come back to Tallinn!

My sister and I did the Estonian craft beer tasting with Martin and absolutely loved it. We've done many beer tours but have never learned so much before. Martin covered ingredients, methods of brewing, history and different brewers, as well as history about Estonia and Tallinn in general. The beers were diverse and delicious, and Martin is incredibly knowledgeable and fascinating! He stayed extra time to ensure we covered all the beers and answered all our questions. It was a relaxed, informative, and fun activity. I highly recommend it, whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, a tourist looking to learn more, or just in the mood for a laugh!

The beer tasting with Martin was a really fun experience for the locals and our visitors from different countries, a real eye-opener for craft beers.
We really enjoyed the evening program and how it was set up. The interesting facts about different brewing styles and "Tujurikkuja" videos were a really good addition to just tasting the beers. And the variety of the beers, I am sure that everyone found their favourite, even the non-beer drinkers. And if not, Martin had a solution for them as well.
With all that energetic and positive vibe that Martin gave out, it was a really great night and a sure thing to recommend.
