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.

What travellers are saying
- jgled663 contributionsWe enjoyed an excellent tour with our guide of the Old Town and the history of Estonia.

- Tom&NikkiTravelLondon, UK1,905 contributionsFollow the cobbled streets up this steep hill with lots of steps which leads up to some impressive views of the city of Tallinn. Once up you can visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and parliament building along with the park.Written 18 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ldgp14Telford, UK3,460 contributionsThe town hall square in Tallinn is truly one of the best in Europe and especially at Christmas time with the tree up it really added to the aesthetic.Written 2 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lauryn SBrisbane, Australia35 contributionsBeautiful church and outstanding architecture. Entry is free but donation is recommended. They do not allow photography so you don’t need to worry about influencers trying to take selfies in such a beautiful and sacred place.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- aestTallinn, Estonia15 contributionsBeautiful place in Tallinn! Literally love it. But it is the snowy time so i have no excuse to go there. Kinda sad but yeah :(Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ευη ΙTallinn, Estonia24 contributionsThe museum itself was practically 2 rooms but there were stuff from that era.
Our tour guide Pavel or Pasha brought all the history to life. Guide and teacher in profession he knew very well what to say and how to say it. I thought 1hour would be a long time with baby but I lost track of time. 1h felt like 20 minutes.
From history to funny daily facts this tour was truly amazing.
The cost was 15€ and is not included in museum card (probably also not in Tallinn card as well) but it is worth it.
The view from there was really beautiful and unique since there are not many places where you can watch Tallinn from that high level.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Reminds one of the medieval times as you stroll the cobblestoned lane ways. You can walk along the top at some parts.Written 26 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sxyeo11 contributionsGot the full museum ticket which gives you access to four towers and Bastion passages. The main tower, Kiek in de Kok, was interactive and was equipped with interesting videos on the history of Reval - highly recommended. Spent almost 4 hours for the whole museum.
If you do not have the time, visiting Kiek in de Kok tower would be sufficient. Other towers had exhibitions related to cafes and Bastion passages is an underground bunker that is dark, cold and had limited descriptions.Written 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HockeyboyDesborough, UK296 contributionsNice enough market. Easy to find. Brew pub was fine and the deli/coffee shop very nice. It’s cash only in some parts so take a few euros.Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
