Shore Excursions in Estonia

Despite heavy rain during our tour Jorge gave us a very informative and excellent tour, tailoring it to meet our requests. We particularly enjoyed the visit to the local market.

I like to use with locals as when you select a tour you have a chance to select your guide based on their profile and reviews. I like to pick locals and specifically picked Paul for that reason. He confirmed our booking Jan 5 for a tour May 31. When I reached out May 30 to say we were looking forward to meeting him the next day he informed me that he was busy and had passed us to another guide. We met with Peter who is an American who now lives in Estonia and while he was good he is not a guide I would pick as not a true local. We actually ran into Paul and Peter tried to introduce us but Paul basically brushed us off as he was busy with a food tour for at least 10 people. A much more lucrative tour I’m sure. Not impressed. So if you pick local Paul you may or may not end up with him depending on whether a more lucrative offer comes up.

We had a great morning with Jorge who moved to Estonia 30 years ago. He shared his deep knowledge of the history and took us through the old town. Our first stop was a parking lot! Where we could see the old bastions remains and we got into some spots other tourists didn’t know about. He also made us reservations at a restaurant where we had our best meal since we've been on this adventure! He is a great guide.

Very knowledgeable and easy going! Capable of covering a wide range of subjects - would highly recommend.
