About us

Tere tulemast, Welcome!
 
In our travels, we´re often moved by hospitality and warmth of people wherever we go. For us, hosting private tours is a way of giving back some of the love we´ve received.

Saku Travel was born from a passion for touring Tallinn (believe us, Tallinn is much more than the famous Old Town) and exploring the countryside – peaceful and authentic.

Our aim is to deliver high-quality private tours and focus on your experience. We point out things that you might otherwise not notice. We share personal memories and stories that the guidebooks couldn’t squeeze in. And sometimes we are completely quiet, letting the surroundings speak for themselves…

 
If the tour includes a driving element, you will have a tour guide (Maarja or Li) and a separate driver (Jüri). The duration of the driving portion is given in the itinerary. You will ride in a black Merecedes Viano minivan, climate controlled for your comfort.
 
The easiest way to contact us is by filling in the request form (which you will find on each tour page) or by sending an email tours@sakutravel.ee
 

 
We look forward to meeting you!
Maarja Laiapea & Jüri Pokk

Our Team




Maarja
Co-founder, tour guide & organizer

The story of Estonia is told through its culture, nature, buildings and of course its people. I love my country, my home town Tallinn, and I'd love to share that enthusiasm with you in a relaxed and informative way. My attention to detail will ensure you have a memorable private tour tailored to suit your interests and time frame.


Jüri
Co-founder, tech guy & driver

I manage the IT- side of the company and lead our clients through Tallinn and the surrounding areas in my sweet Mercedes. Along with Maarja, I was involved in setting up the company from day one. I'm committed to making your tour the highlight of your visit to Estonia.
