It's pretty fast paced,...
Rick_L, Mar 2025
It's pretty fast paced, but gives a good overview of upper old town. Easy pick up from and return to ferry terminal. About 2-1/2 hour guided tour and 3 hours on your own.

Amazed people don’t get lost on Tallin streets. Old pharmacy on square amazing
Great Day Tour and perfect logistics
Mark_P, Mar 2025
This was a well orchestrated tour. Pick up and drop off or punctual, and there was a perfect mix of tour guide and opportunity to explore on your own. The tour is relatively walkable, however, it should be noted navigating strollers or with walking aids may be a bit more difficult. Our tour was on a Saturday so the evening ferry ride back provided a wonderful glimpse into the local usage of the ferry as a means of shopping and nightlife activity (as there was a series of concerts across the ship).
This trip is a must when visiting Helsinki

Wonderful experience. The Ferry to Talinn was so much fun. it was like a mini cruise ship! Live bands, dancing, Bingo, Karaoke, entertainment, restaurants, bars, buffet and a massive duty free shop where people were buying liquor by the cart full. Our guide met us in Talinn and the transfer to the old town was easy. Julianna was super knowledgeable and the 3 hour walking tour was very informative! Love the history, lots of beautiful sights and scenery. Might be too strenuous for some, there is a lot of walking up and down hills on cobblestones. We had 3 hours to shop and dine on our own. We are big fans of the cafe culture and loved sitting in the square with a cold beer at an outside table. The transfer back was right on time. And the ferry back was fun with a great live band and dancing!
