What our customers say?


Our tour in Estonia was THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR CRUISE AND YOU ARE THE REASON FOR SAME. I am not computer literate enough to send you the pictures I took or to give you the rave reviews you deserve on the various websites. It was such a pleasure meeting you and your sharing Estonia with us. I only wish we had had more time. Keep up the good work with your Estonian Experience. I know you will be a huge success. The lunch was delicious, thank you for taking us to your restaurant. We cannot praise you highly enough. (Tallinn Round Trip & Old Town Walking Tour)

The ship docked, early morning, in Tallinn, Estonia. We (my mother, uncle, sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and I) had a quick breakfast and disembarked to meet our private tour guide for a half days’ sightseeing. Not sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised to see our tour guide – a young, attractive, intelligent, witty and easy-going Estonian. It didn’t take long for my small family to embrace, as one of our own, Eva-Maria.

After a short drive to the old city of Tallinn our walking tour began lasting several hours. Eva-Maria not only knew each stop like the back of her hand but had many interesting stories about each place - some educational, some witty. Always willing to please – taking family group shots at scenic places or volunteering to buy water for all of us with her own money (well, not really. We didn’t have the proper currency and gave her euro’s to exchange at her earliest opportunity) or allowing us to stop and do some shopping (where appropriate) – Eva-Maria was always in control in the most relaxed manner.

The highlight, for me, was lunch in one of Eva-Maria’s favorite restaurants located off the beaten path, by the ocean, and near her summer cottage. The food, ambiance of the restaurant and the additional company were completely outstanding. A perfect ending to a hot summers’ day’s sightseeing.

When in Tallinn, contact her. Eva-Maria is most capable. She can put something together quickly without compromising the smallest detail. However, if you elect to go the “quick, take me somewhere” route it may not always be possible due to the availability of a driver and appropriate translator. If you are planning to be there, by all means contact her in advance. She has the capacity for hiking, island hopping (yes, Estonia has lots of islands) or walking tours. Whatever you decide, please know that every detail will be taken care of with perfection.

Several weeks have passed since our visit to Estonia. One day spent with a very special person who provided memories to last a lifetime. (Tallinn Round Trip & Old Town Walking Tour)

"Thank you for a great dance course. Jene was quite an exotic suprise for us and he danced really good. Everybody were satisfied and happy with the event, especially those who carried through the end. Anyway it was a cool entr'acte for our group and the main question for me was where did I find this dance teacher. One Finnish participant even asked if its possible to organise this course in Helsinki."

"I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all the group, to thank you for the very interesting tour - Soviet Legacy Tour. It was the highlight of our trip to Tallinn. You took us to many interesting places that we would never have found on our own, but the personal stories you were able to tell us about this time in Estonian history brought it very much to life. It was a lovely touch to use the old Marsa van to take us around. Thank you once again!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for cooperation and a good guide service! For sure we will take more excursions in the future. Participants of the study visit were very happy that this excursion was added to their programme. Olga was a very good guide, she spoke English clearly and calmly. Guests said that she is a great and wise guide. I liked the cooperation between us and the fact that we could direct the excursion. During the excursion Olga showed Kloostri ait, where guests went to eat also on two following days, because they liked this place so much." (Old Town walking tour)

"We liked it very much. First we were a little bit tired ‘cause we hadn’t had many hours sleep and thought that it won’t work out well. But  once we got our hands on a wheel and started to drive we pretty much forgot the tiredness and it was great! 
Would’ve been even funnier with faster cars / many cars at the same time on track but can’t get everything. I will recommend this activity to others and keep you in mind if we need any services you provide in the future." (Lada Rally)

"My tour of Lahemaa National Park was wonderful — a knowledgeable guide and beautiful surroundings made for a perfect end to my trip to Estonia. My only negative is that I was unable to get to the bogs as the paths had not been cleared as expected. Other then that I was impressed with the tour. It was the perfect way to tour the park."

"The snow mobile safari was excellent - thank you so much for organising it last minute. Olga was a friendly guide and we had a good chat in the car on the way to Korvemaa (hope I've spelt that correctly!).


The guys at the centre were also friendly and we were kitted out with warm clothing which was great. A training session before we set off was a really useful idea, just to get used to how the sled works and how responsive it is - they can go quite fast! The ride through the forest was wonderful and my husband had a brilliant time, as did I!  We would definitely recommend this as a winter day out for anyone visting Tallinn at this time of year. If we come back, which we probably will, we will do this again.

"The first time it was scary (in a good way) to cross the bridge and not knowing what is ahead. A real adrenaline rush. The track was very good, you had a excellent view of the whole track from the building windows. The Ladas were fun, it was easy to slide around and swing the tail of the car about. But it was also possible could take it easier if you wanted to. It was sad to have to stop, this was too much fun! Next time we would gladly pay for a few more laps. The prize ceremony was a good extra." (Lada Rally)

"We spent a marvellous time last Saturday by driving the snow mobile. We’re planning to come back with our kids, still this year or otherwise next year."

"We recently visited the shooting experience in Tallinn. We were picked up by a very friendly driver who brought us to the shooting range. There we were instructed by a very skilled instructor. It was a great experience to handle the various weapons that were offered by the shooting range. We can recommend every tourist to visit the shooting experience!"

"This Soviet legacy tour will give you a good introduction to the modern history of Estonia, how the culture survived occupation, the changes since independence and the effect of a large ethnically Russian minority in the population." Soviet Legacy Tour  comments continue..

 "My friends and I were lucky enough to spend the evening with Eva-Maria on her guided pub tour for my stag in Tallinn. We had a great time with Eva-Maria, who planned out a very thoughtful route through some very different pubs and cocktail bars, to show us every side of Tallinn. If you are thinking about going to Tallinn make sure you contact these guys, rather than people in your local country, as you will be missing out if you don't."

"We conducted a cruise in the Baltic sea and made a stop in Tallinn with Estonian Experience. We took an excursion for 4 hours visiting the center and suburbs. Fantastic and wonderful guide. Congratulations and keep well!"

"Thanks again from the Belgian group and all the best! We are also sending you the presentation what we put together from the  Old town excursion pictures." Presentation about Tallinn Old Town excursion which was sent by group from Belgium

"We had Jene’s show in our hen’s night program. Future bride wanted to have no stripper for that evening and therefore we were looking for something milder. Bruchettas prepared by Jene were deliciously tasty. His nature made everybody feeling really relaxed and happy during this whole event. In the end of the show, the carpet was rolled up and 11 girls learned very sensual dance moves for following night club visit. Bride and all the guests were very happy with Jene’s performance. Thank you!"

" I'm not one who usually leaves comments about guided tours,day trips or anything like that i've been on. But recently I was on my stag do in Tallinn and I meet Eva-Maria on her guided pub tour. She was informative about the local area and good fun to be with throughout the tour, and even got me involved in a local dance which is something I would never normally do.

 

She is a lovely lady and it was a great pleasure to be in her company for the tour.I would recommend Estonian Experience guided tours to anyone who is thinking about going to Estonian for a break."

"Besides cooking in the good company and eating tasty foods, it was also good to practise some moves. Jene infected us with his good mood, bright eyes and incredible dancing steps. It made even the most stiffiest of us into prof dancers. Thanks for the really great day!“

- May 2009, Inga

 

"I should admit that I had no previous experience with such kind of events and I was quite sceptical in the beginning. However, Jene’s friendly character and optimism wiped out that first impression completely. Tune fish was a major discovery for me – how good dish can be made out of it. I would recommend this event to everybody as it was really great and memorable."

- May 2009, Meelis

 

"We visited Jene’s event in March when it was snowing and raining outside. But after entering the room, everybody was assured very quickly that we made a very good choice for an evening activity. Jene gave lots of warmth and emotions to his guests. So much, that even cold and clumsy Estonians were feeling themselves like star dancers and super chefs. It was delightful that Jene was able to warm up and tie together a team where the members were not knowing each other.

 

Everybody was able to merge into the group and to get the tasks – even peeling potatoes seemed fun. Last but not least – being a cooking fan myself, I learned several useful tricks which I have started to use at home. It can not be ruled out that I will invite a group of friends together on some nasty and cold autumn or spring day again and make it into a really fun and warm afternoon together with a Jene."
