milolii Posted April 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Anyone know local tour people for Tallinn Hi your best bet is to post this on the Northern Europe board.

spirit rev Posted April 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2014 After doing a small amount of research, we decided to wonder around Olde Town Tallin on our own. It is very easy to do. People do speak English. We even found a few places we hadn't planned on seeing and throughly enjoyed the side trips. Doing this on our own allowed us to find a local restaurant for lunch and enjoy a wonderful meal of traditional Estonian food and shop at some great places that were not filled with tourist trinkets.

dexddd Posted April 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We walked it. Someone had a walking map on the ports of call section that we used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit rev Posted April 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Another thing about Tallin. There are virtually no motor vehicles in the center of the Old Town. You have to be on foot to really see it. We loved the many street performers we saw. When we looked a bit puzzled there was always someone who could help us figure out where we were. Also, we never felt threatened with our basic awareness of where we were and who was around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalgirl Posted April 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Many of the other excursions are expensive - you may want to just enjoy walking around the old town, that is what we did. Or perhaps an organized walking tour. We saw this as an opportunity to just enjoy the city without a lot of hassle for excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX_Atlantis_Cruiser Posted April 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2014 As others have said, I found a walking tour with descriptions and directions on the Baltic Ports of Call boards and just drug my friends with me through the Old Towne section of the city. We meandered and found things on our own in addition to what was listed in the guide. Restaurants are plentiful and reasonable and the whole walk was very doable.

MSH from Norway Posted April 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Anyone know local tour people for Tallinn I agree with everybody else. Don't take a tour. WAlk around in the old middle of town. And, I'm going to tell you a secret. Take a break, for lunch or early dinner at http://www.oldehansa.org/?id=11031 and try their very special ol-time food....... My favourite is Honourable cook Frederic’s game sausages made from Bear, Wild Boar and Elk....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
