About the walking tour
This tour will dish out the history and politics, but will also give you real-life tales from locals about what it was like to live in Communist Tallinn. Some of the stories will shock you, some are so absurd they will make you laugh!
Join us on a 2-hour English language guided tour through the Old Town and into the cool harbor area, and learn more about our communist history. Our guides won’t cover overly dates & figures, rather than we focus on stories and legends that will bring the city alive for each participant!
Our local storytellers are keeping things honest, simple & fun

No! We accept donations only in cash. Please make sure you have enough €’s with you to leave your donation to the guide!
If I don’t have anything to donate?
Then please be kind enough and don’t join these tours. If your guide does 2h hard work with the group & you leave nothing, it shows a huge disrespect to the guide and her/his work. These tours are free to join, however, if you stay on the tour, donations are obligatory.
