  1. We did Rudy's tour last week and it was outstanding. We have done many tours, some with the ship but mostly private, and Rudy's was one of the very best. Rudy was our guide to the market, and it was very interesting-not something you get on a standard tour. After the market we had two other guides take over and both were outstanding. As far as safety, we never felt in danger.

    I highly recommend Rudy's tour. It was a fabulous experience.

  2. I appreciate reading everyone's experiences with Ramses and have reserved a tour for November.

     

    Can I have some information on what people have tipped. Normally tipping is a percentage of the tour price, but in this case there are the costs of the hotel, meals and admissions in the price of the tour.

     

    So, what have those who did the overnight tour tip the guide and the driver?

     

    Thanks

  3. You are welcome.

     

    NOTE TO ALL: My name is really 'Darry D', like Willie Jo and Rhonda May - and the 'D' stands for Darlin'. While I've been called a lot worse than Darryl, I want to point out my real name before someone else begins to believe I have changed it. I am not offended, Dennis, but I do want to correct you now rather than create a relationship where I'm using some name I have not earned.

     

    I'm sorry DarryD :o On another thread I am on there is a Darryl and I got confused.

  4. Just how "hilly" is Tallinn old town?

     

    I will be travelling with my 76yr old mum who whilst she is very active and is great on level ground, she would struggle with any big uphill walks so I am contemplating taking the ships panoramic town which then ends with a "small" walking tour of the top of town.

     

    The plan is then that we both explore the rest of the old town working our way "down hill" en-route back to the ship.

     

    Having not been to Tallinn, have I made the right decision to do the panoramic tour as a means of avoiding some of the uphill walking, or is Tallinn more "level ground" than I think it is?

     

    Many thanks Linda

     

    Several years ago we went on the bus tour, and in my opinion the bus part was a total waste of time. The Song Festival Ground is nothing more than a big amphitheater. The Olympic Yachting Complex is a marina.

    However, the Old Town is fascinating. I suggest you take a taxi to Toompea Hill/Palace Square and proceed on your walk from there. Once you see the upper Old Town, you can go down hill and visit the lower Old Town. It is all down hill. Then it is a short walk or taxi ride back to the ship.

  5. Thanks for your replies. We are on the Voyager. I just want to run into town to buy a tee shirt and pins from the Hard Rock Cafe, a traditional thing I do in every country I visit.

    I hope our excursion is not as unorganized as yours was Linda. Sounds like you had a lot of wasted time which will drive me nuts. I still think it will be fun and we are looking forward to it.

  6. Linda,

     

    We are booked for this excursion next month. You said you had only 1/2 hour to enjoy the beach. Was there a set time you had to return to the ship? What time did the excursion begin? Most important-did you have time to shop in town before or after the excursion? Thanks.
