Tour Reviews
Jorge met us at our cruise terminal in Tallinn and first drove us out to Jagala falls. On the way, he was filling us in on many aspects of the history and life in Estonia. The falls were a lovely start to our tour that we don’t think many on our cruise got to see. Then we drove back to old town Tallinn and walked the city for close to 2.5 hours, with Jorge sharing his extensive knowledge of its history.
Great half-day trip. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and personable. Thank you, dear Stassi.
Jorge our guide was excellent. He took us to all the places we didn’t know and explained everything very well. Everything was very interesting. He took some really cool photos of us. Highly recommended.
