Communist Stories of Tallinn Donation Based Walking Tour

Duration: 2h

Registered on August 05, 2019

EstAdventures is a small, locally owned and operated tour company offering walking tours in English. Each guide works exclusively for EstAdventures and has been selected for their knowledge, passion, enthusiasm and charming personalities. You will be guided by Jonas, Marko, Dominic, Christopher Robert, Kadri or Ricardo. The aim will always be to keep things simple, keep them honest, and keep them fun. We like to think that each client who comes on an EstAdventures tour is a friend visiting Estonia, and we show them around with that mindset. We know Estonia well because we live here. But we can explain it well because we understand what makes it interesting to a foreigner. We have a passion for Estonia, its history, its culture, its natural assets, and its people. This makes us the perfect guides to show you around. Seeing ourselves more as storytellers than historians, we offer a personal touch so that you have fun and get a real insight into Estonia.

Tour description

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.

    Please do note that this tour is based on donations - if you participate the tour, the guide expects to get a donation from you afterwards. Sadly this needs to be reminded, as so many walk away without tipping. Please be kind enough to donate if you join the tour! That’s really the only way we could continue doing them.

Marko hat die Tour mit viel Engagement gemacht und ist auf alle Fragen eingegangen. Es ist ein toller Rundgang durch Tallinn, abseits der klassischen Touristenpfade. Sehr zu empfehlen wenn man sich für die jüngere Geschichte interessiert.
