Tallinn offers a great diversity of experiences available to visitors.
While the lower part of the Old Town is packed with various places offering mostly gastronomical entertainment, the Upper Town represents a marvelous attraction for history appreciators.
From here, you can see how large and diverse Tallinn could be.
This tour offers a lovely opportunity to learn many curious facts about Estonia and get familiar with the history of Tallinn's most important landmarks. You will see how different eras of Estonia's development got reflected in local architecture and hear many exciting stories about former residents of the Toompea hill manors.
The Communist history of Tallinn can be hard to pick up in the modern city, but this fantastic tour will unlock the fascinating communist past.
We explore the scenes which hosted the essential events, and where tales both terrifying and hilarious played out.
This tour will dish out the history and politics, but will also give you real-life tales from locals about what it was like to live in Communist Tallinn. Some of the stories will shock you, some are so absurd they will make you laugh!

Donation based tour is only meant for groups smaller than 5pax. Groups bigger than that has a fixed price 7€ per person.
I invite you to have a short walk with me through the history of the singing culture of Estonia and most specifically, of what role this culture played in Estonian independence. This walk is the first part of my local history standups along the seashore of Tallinn Bay which are focused on the late 20th-century part of Estonian history.
During this descent into history (quite literally) I will share with you some worth mentioning milestones of Estonian history from the point of view of choir singing culture. We will go down to the roots and emerge in modern times on the shore of the Baltic Sea.
This short walk starts on the top of the Estonian Singing grounds on Narva Road and finishes on the Pirita promenade next to the sea and connections to the city center.
If you have a spare one hour of your time on your vacation in Tallinn, and you have already enjoyed other parts of the city, feel free to join me to hear something new, admire some Instagrammable views, and, with a particular bit of luck, enjoy the summer sun and warmth.
Tales of Reval is a refreshing way of experiencing the city of Tallinn. Our job is not to fill your heads with names and numbers, but instead we want to make you proud of the fact that you have discovered Tallinn - the hidden pearl of the Baltic Sea!
What makes us special is our unique combination of traditional guiding, street performance, and storytelling, thus creating a fully immersive experience into the history of Tallinn. This means that the people coming to our show will actually pay attention, and remember the place that they visited.
Experience the remarkable tale of the Hansa Merchants, join in on a journey back in time, and come celebrate over 800 years of history with us.
NB! If you wish to join a date, but the group seems to be full on Guruwalk, kindly go to our homepage www.talesofreval.ee and check the bottom part of the page for availability.
