8 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!

Operation Stag Tallinn

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!

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!

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.

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!

Just incredible. Picked up from our apartment in a minivan and driven to the forest. Allowed to smash cars into one another and just generally cause mayhem as a group. We did the demolition derby and then got to fire a paintball assault rifle at one another. Kristjan who runs it is a great man. For something which could be quite dangerous he actually has a pretty good idea of how not to get seriously hurt, and I would recommend to anyone who wants a rush of adrenaline which you definitely won't get at home.

By far the most fun I have ever had paintballing! They let the attacking team drive around in old cars with riot shields – is fun as it sounds. Was very easy to organise and they came and picked us up straight from our hostel and had beers ready for us when we got there. We were going through a full gun of paint balls each game and it only cost us and additional 10 euros as well. Overall great fun and good guys running it.

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.

My friends and I did the morning "Welcome to Tallinn" tour and saw the sights of Old Town, Kadriorg park, Singing Festival grounds and rode along the shore. It was an excellent tour of a cute storybook town. The tour guide was very informative and even entertained us with a song! The bikes were a little on the older side, but still very comfortable and safe. I definitely recommend this tour!

Toomas met me on time in the lobby of my hotel. He guided me on a 9k run (my pace and my desired distance). This is the best way I know to get s feel for the layout of an unfamiliar city. Toomas shared a lot of info in the time we ran.
Would highly recommend Toomas to other solo travellers like myself or small groups wanting an active but informative experience.

Really enjoyed my run while in Tallinn. It was great to have a running buddy for the morning, great to find a good running route that I could use for other days, and great to learn a bit about Tallinn along the way. I highly recommend and so thrilled that running tours like this one are available.

In one hour I felt I saw and learned a lot about Tallinn. Tomas really knows his history and some good fun stories. It was also a great workout. Highly recommended!
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the tour but it was a bit rainy on that day, good running weather, bad for pics.

I had a great run with Toomas around the old town, parks and coast. He tailored the run to the distance I was comfortable with and at a pace which we could comfortably talk. Toomas was able to answer all my questions as we ran which it made it a lot more interesting. Thanks for a great run.
