Overview

THIS IS A PRIVATE TOUR

The best place in town for strolling and pondering amongst the ample acreage, patches of green, flowing fountains and pretty little flower beds. You will soon see why Peter the Great founded this beautiful park in honour of his wife Catherine.

Once you have wandered through the park you will reach Kadriorg Palace, Once the summer residence of the Russian Czars, the baroque style palace is now home to the Museum of European Art. To the rear of the building, spread over two terraces, you will find the Upper Garden. Experience the extension of the palace interior in nature before returning to your vehicle to continue your luxury tour.

Move on to Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. This large event venue holds a very special place in Estonians hearts as the birthplace of the Singing Revolution. Immerse yourself in the view of the sea and the Old Town of Tallinn, a fabulous place for a photo opportunity!

Continue on to Pirita Suburb where you will find the remarkable ruins of St Birgitta Covent dating back to the 15th century. The tour then proceeds past the Forest Cemetery where you will find renowned Estonians in their final resting place. Nearby is the beach side location of the yachting complex built for the 1980 Summer Olympic Regatta.

Your professional guide will then take you to the upper part of the Old Town. After exiting the vehicle at Tall Hermann Tower, a short walk will lead you to the dominating presence of Palace Square with the pink Parliament House and the enchanting Russian Orthodox Church which has stood since 1900. After you've taken in the paintings and icons inside this building you will amble through the narrow cobblestone lanes to St Marys Cathedral located on Toompea Hill dating back to the 13th century. This impressive building was a burial ground of the rich and titled. The whitewashed walls are decorated with the elaborate coats-of-arms of Estonias most noble families.

Look over the Lower Town of Tallinn, once separated from the Upper Town by gates, its impressive skyline is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take the route down the historic Short Leg Lane to immerse yourself in everything the Lower Town has to offer, passing St Nicholas Church on your way. Bring your walking tour to a close in Town Hall Square before going on to pause and put ones feet up while appreciating a three-course gourmet Estonian lunch in a charming Old Town restaurant. Also provided to accompany your lunch: water, tea, coffee, glass of wine.
