Hi, My name is Viktor. I am trying to revive my high school experience in being a city and museum tour guide. My life brought me a bit far from experience of my youth, but I would be glad to regain these skills with your help.
I am personally most interested in the period of the history of the Eastern Europe in the 80-90ies of the 20th century and would be glad to share with you some facts on my walks.

Tour description
We follow the morning footsteps of an Estonian engineer, tracing his daily walk in June 1940 from the wooden houses of Kalamaja to the beating heart of Tallinn’s industrial past—the Volta and Krilli factories.
Starting at Baltic Railway Station, we move through the streets of Kalamaja, where workers lived in neatly built wooden homes. We follow the quiet stretch of Tööstuse and Vabriku Streets, where industry once dominated the landscape. Along the way, we pause at Cemetery Park, a resting place for generations who shaped this city with their hands and labor.
Finally, we arrive at Krulli factory, where machines once roared and workers clocked in to build Estonia’s industrial future. This is not just a walk—it’s a step into the everyday life of Tallinn’s working past, where homes, streets, and factories were all part of a daily rhythm.
Join the commute. Walk through history. See the city as an engineer once did.
