Tour Reviews
We were three couples on this tour and Chris was our guide. He was extremely informative about the history and culture of Tallin and Estonia but also had a great personality and sense of humor. The bog walk was interesting and challenging. You had to walk a two plank wide raised path for half the distance. In the old town Tallin walk Chris took us through the most important and interesting areas and areas with the best views. He was patient and also helpful with suggestions of where to shop and not shop and where to eat and where not to eat.
Fabulous experience. A short, but wonderful bog walk with mother nature at her finest. Then a fascinating tour through Tallinn Old Town. Our guide, Jorge, was very knowledgeable and provided a running commentary on the history of Estonia and the micro-climate of the bog. If you want to do something different, try a bog hike. The history of Estonia is also interesting.
