    5.0· 1 reviews· 5 hours

    Join us on a tour where we introduce you to Tallinn's and Estonia's past and present. We will walk along the medieval streets of the Old Town, the pathways of Kadriorg park and see the spectacular views of the Song Festival Grounds. Tallinn and Estonia have long been at the meeting point of two very different worlds. Since the viking age and through the medieval era this location has served as a vital trade route between east and west. For centuries it was seen by many as the very edge of civilisation. From German crusaders to Russian czars and communist occupation, Estonia has never forgotten its culture, language or identity. Come and find out what makes this country unique. How a once thriving center of trade fell by the wayside; how a land held by foreigners for centuries won its War of Independence; and how a small occupied nation defied the Soviet Union to not only restore its own freedom and destiny but also become the Silicon Valley of Europe. This is the story of Estonia.
