Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We joined a tour by chance after popping into the visitor centre, and it was honestly the best way to spend an afternoon in Tallin! George was an incredible, hilarious guide who told stories beautifully, and the whole experience has left me and my partner (the richest merchant in Reval😜) smiling all day. 11/10 recommend! (Please tip the guides after as well!!)

I had no ideas there is a way to experience a fantastic history lesson, time travel, 5 star theater performance, sightseeing, life lessons and being a guest at someone's home all in one. Well, our guide, George did just that. I highly recommend. Just wow.

Oh, what jolly times we had practicing the way the noblemen walked and the ”thieves” worked their way around taxes with Georg the tour guide! Belly laughs guaranteed!

The guide was very funny and engaged the whole group in his stories. He showed us the best parts of medieval Tallinn and gave excellent advice on what else to see. We were able to see St. Nicholas church, some houses of medieval merchants and we were told interesting stories about the history of the city and how Reval became Tallinn. The tour length and time were perfectly balanced.

This is an absolute must-do whilst in Tallinn.
I had been on a cruise around the Baltics and was looking for something different to do during my port stop in Tallinn.
Having booked a few traditional walking tours along my journey, I thought this looked like a fun and entertaining option for a walking tour. I was a bit apprehensive about my Husbands reaction but he was happy to try it.
The verdict?....
Be prepared to laugh, possibly get involved, and immerse yourself in the Medieval Old Town of Tallinn. We both had such a great time learning about Tallinn with Cedric.
He was an absolute master of facilitating a group and keeping us all entertained and interested throughout. Thanks so much for a great time.
I didn't think it would be the BEST walking tour I've ever been on - but it was!
It was so good, we still talk about it now.

I'm very happy master Cedric managed to snatch the "best tour" place on the podium in your hearts. I'm very very glad I got you immersed into the history and the legends of this town, and that the experience still sparks conversation topics all those days after - this is the best thing I could wish for.
Thank you for this glowing praise and thank you for attending our show!
Wishing you the best of travels

As every other review will tell you, this walking tour is absolutely fantastic. Ivar’s passion for the city and for storytelling is infectious. He captivated all four members of our family – my sons, 11 and 9, both volunteered to play parts in the tales, and really loved the tour (an unbelievable feat! Congrats, Ivar!) He kept the large group engaged and entertained, with tales of medieval merchant life in Talinn – I couldn’t help but fall in love with this wonderful city and its distinct character. This is an absolute must, 90 golden minutes. Definitely unmissable.
It’s an optional cash donation at the end - €10-20 each is suggested and worth every penny. My only feedback to the wonderful Ivar is that, in a country so fabulously technological, he should have a SumUp/iZettle with a set €10 on there and make it part of his final act. A few of us weren’t carrying cash (so had to go to ATM) and he is worth every penny!

Thank you for this absolutely glowing review!
I am so happy Ivar managed to ignite the passion and love for our town in your soul as well, and that you enjoyed the journey to such an extent!
The digital payment option is becoming more and more prevalent, and we are looking into having an option available for the next season.
Thank you very much for joining in, and thank you for leaving behind this beautiful praise! It really does keep a big smile on our faces and us motivated to keep doing what we do best!
