Tour Reviews
A Magical Winter Highlight – Jägala Waterfall and Picnic Tour.
I had a wonderful time on the Jägala Waterfall picnic tour. As a solo traveler, I found it difficult to book with other companies, but Eva-Maria from Prangli Travel was incredibly helpful. I was lucky enough to be joined with another group, which made the experience even better.
The pickup point in the middle of Old Town Tallinn was very convenient. Our guide, Meriliis, was lovely and knowledgeable, pointing out interesting sights during the 30-minute drive. The waterfall itself was breathtaking—it was two-thirds frozen and looked like a winter wonderland. We had plenty of time to take photos from both the top and the bottom to see it in its full beauty.
The picnic was a nice touch, featuring a nice selection of local snacks and drinks both cold and warm. We also enjoyed some free time for a short, peaceful walk down the river before heading back to the city. I highly recommend this tour if you want a beautiful and well-organized escape from Tallinn!
Our guide Kathy was lovely, very informative on the journey over to the waterfall about life in Tallinn. Waterfall was pretty and picnic was a treat trying local cuisine despite us not long having breakfast.
Loved ♥️ Nele. Great picnic-homemade pickles, Estonian cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, dark breadsticks, local candy, strudel, Vana Tallinn Estonian Spirit, flavored mineral water, fresh cherry tomatoes. The waterfall was not as tall as we anticipated but it was running freely. I had arranged the trip for 4 of us & was worried they might not like it but they said it was the highlight of their day!
