Tallinn Private Guided Tour with Local Expert Mati Rumessen

Commission a bespoke private tour with one of Tallinn's most celebrated personal guides — praised effusively by Rick Steves travellers — for an intimate, story-rich exploration of medieval Tallinn tailored entirely to your interests. The most personalised expert lens available in the city.

What to expect

Your guide meets you at the port and crafts each moment around your passions — whether that's Estonian history, architecture, Soviet legacy or culinary culture. Expect rich storytelling at every cobblestoned corner, from the haunting Bastion Passages to the gilded onion domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Private guides at this level open doors — literal and metaphorical — that group tours simply cannot. Every question is welcomed and every detour is possible.

Good to know
