10 Best Tallinn Walking Tours 2021 - Best Tours in Tallinn

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.

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.

A great day out in a beautiful location

My partner and I took the day trip to Naissaar Island in June 2017 while visiting Tallinn. We opted for the bike rental rather than the guided tour, so I can't comment on that tour.
The roads are excellent for mountain bikes, as long as you remember to be careful where there is loose sand. The hiking trails vary from easily cyclable, to not at all, so bear that in mind when choosing areas to explore. The western half of the "military" (red) trail, for instance, is NOT suitable for bikes, and would be most comfortable in hiking shoes.
The military installations dotted all around the island are fascinating, and quite well sign posted. If you enjoy military history, you don't want to miss them.
Most of the island is a nature reserve, and is very beautiful quiet - we didn't see a single other walker or biker on most of the paths.
Our package included lunch at a guest house in the south of the island - a simple,hearty meal with a very friendly hostess.
If you're not on the guided tour, and have had enough exploring, there is a bar/café just inland from the harbour where you can get refreshments with a view.

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.

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.

Tallinn with an expert

My wife and I had a day in Tallinn and it was wonderful. Our guide, Triin Jensen, was full of energy and provided a super understanding of the city. We only had a few hours but Triin found a way to get us to all the best spots and provide a great history of the many sites. We were so fortunate to have Triin as our guide and I would recommend her for any tour of Tallinn.

エストニアの最新スタートアップ事情を知る素晴らしいツアー

タリンで生活しスタートアップに詳しい George さんが丁寧に案内してくれました。
エストニアの国の成り立ちから、IT 産業がどのように成長してきているか、どんなスタートアップがあるのか、などを知ることができました。
これらは日本でもネット上から多くの情報が得られるようになってきましたが、直接関係者から話を聞いて、どのような場所でプロダクトを開発しているのか生で見るという体験を通して、編集されていない一次情報にアクセスできるのは魅力的でした。
IT 関連の仕事をされている方以外にもオススメできます。若くて勢いを感じるタリンのスタートアップ事情は、多くの人にとって新鮮で楽しめるはずです。
