It’s ok and shows places from the soviet era. I would have preferred more info on KGB and spy type stuff and as it is a walking tour you are at the mercy of the weather which didn’t help.
Highly recommend this...

Informative tour around parts of Tallinn away from the touristy Old Town. Good way to spend a few hours learning about the Soviet era. We would recommend this tour.
An amazing visit.

It was a really good idea to start our stay with this tour. We had an original vision of Tallinn. Tom has a lot of knowledge and humor and he is fully invested in sharing. He has many very funny anecdotes...We had a lot of fun. All our little group loved... And we had information for the rest of our stay...
If you visit Tallinn, Estonia definitely book this tour.

We had a wonderful tour. Tom was a great guide. He was very informative and took us to places that we would not have visited if on our own. It was interesting to listen to Tom telling us what life was like when under the rule of Russia. Really enjoyed going to the market and seeing what life used to be like. We were blessed with great weather and I highly recommend anyone visiting Tallinn for a couple of days to definitely book this tour. Although it was a walking tour it was not fast paced and Tom gave us lots of interesting information. Thanks Tom from 2 very happy Australians Cheryl & Graham.
Glad I went on this tour

We loved the Soviet walking tour. It was so interesting to hear about live under Soviet rule and what happened when the Soviet era ended. It was fascinating to see the remaining Soviet buildings and imagine life in the past. A highlight was eating hot freshly baked pastries in the market! Highly recommended.
