Estonian Experience
Best Private and Small Group Tours in Estonia
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to book your tours?
If you are interested in some of our tours or activities, give us a call or send an e-mail and let us know that how many persons and at what date and time you would like the tour to start. Depending on the tour selected, we can usually give you the availability and pricing information either instantly or within a few hours.
For small groups (few persons) and for bookings in short notice, the easiest option is to make the payment in cash. We accept both EEK and EUR. For larger groups and for tours where we have to confirm many costs before the event, we ask from you either a full or partial prepayment. In this case we send to you an electronic invoice which can be paid either by credit card or bank transfer.
What tours would your recommend us to take?
It is actually very good question, because there are really many interesting things to choose from. And it obviously depends on your interests, age and previous experience.
But based on the feedback from our travelers, we recommend Old Town walking tour if you have few hours of time. For half a day tour, it is either Tour of Outskirts - Kadriorg and Pirita if you are interested in most beautiful places in Tallinn or Soviet Tour with Lada if you want to know more about the Soviet past.
For day trips, Lahemaa National Park and Manors has always been the most popular choice but we also recommend a visit to Eastern Estonia and Mining Museum because it is so much different from the things you see in most other places.
From our activities, we would like to bring out Shooting from military weapons as this is really memorable experience and you are not even allowed to do it in most of the other countries. Yes, these are real guns what you can shoot with real bullets!
For Stag groups, the pub tour in one evening and Shooting on the next day would be great combination. However, our Cooking with the Dancing Chef show is really an event what every girl can dream about for her hen night and bachelorette party.
What is the price per person for our group size?
We have given price levels for some of the most typical group sizes. In general, the price per person will be lower for larger groups, but it also depends on what kind of transportation we need to use and what are the fixed costs per person. The best option is to contact us and we are sure that we can give you very competitive rates.
Our focus is to serve also very small groups from 2 persons and do it also on very short notice. If you are solo traveler, the price for 2 usually applies.
Why are your prices occasionally much different from your competitors?
Sometimes it might look that our prices are more expensive (or on some occasions much cheaper) compared to our competitors. However, as the pricing information in freely available over the Internet, nobody can really operate with much different pricing over the longer term.
Usually the price differences is due to the following reasons:
1. You compare prices for different group sizes. What is the group size used in price per person quotation? If one company advertises price per person for group of 6 and another for group of 12, the second price will be usually lower.
We are sure that our rates for larger groups are also very competitive but as our focus is smaller groups, we indicate also out price per groups of 2 and 4 persons and these are obviously higher. To avoid misunderstandings best strategy is to always contact us for detailed price offer for your group.
2. Are you looking for a private tour for your group or are you together with many other travelers?
3. Are the entrance tickets and meals included?
Do you have your own guides?
We are local tour operator and we use our own guides. They are selected and trained by us. It gives us also much better options to monitor the quality of our tours and to bring new innovative products into the market. From that point, we are different from most of the international travel companies who are only reselling local tour operators (sometimes also us).
However, we are obviously not able to do everything by ourselves and there are some activities what are provided together with our carefully selected partners.
Is it better to book ahead?
We recommend to do it for two reasons. First, when you are doing the research and bookings before your trip, it gives you more time in your travel destination. Secondly, there are occasional shortages like when many large cruise ships arrive to Tallinn at the same time or when there are major events.
But the life in Tallinn is generally more peaceful compared to other major cities and you should be able to do all your preferred excursions and activities without much issues also when booking them in Tallinn.
Is there difference when we buy the tours directly from you or through your partners?
We have the same pricing for our tours in all channels. However, external partners have usually limits on how many of our products they are able to resell and the largest choice of our tours and activities is available from our website.
Can we partner with you?
We are happy to cooperate with different companies. Please contact us and let us know how we can help you.
Do you organise full tour packages for us?
Yes, you can also ask from us a full service package quotation including tours, activities, accommodation, transfers, meals and other entertainment. We do not sell airport, bus, train or ferry tickets.
