First, we will explore the Old Town…
…which was divided into two separate districts for centuries: Toompea Hill and the lower city. You learn about the difference between the two areas and a lot more.
Your private accessible Tallinn tour starts with a visit to the upper part aka Toompea Hill. You will see nearly 800 years old St Mary´s Cathedral, Toompea Castle and a Russian Orthodox Church with its onion-shaped domes. You will have a stunning birds-eye-view over the city from the observation platform.

Then it´s on to lower section of the old city. The colorful medieval merchants´ houses and blooming window boxes make for great photos, as we wander around at a leisurely pace. Tallinn Old Town is truly a place worthy of the word picturesque.
The vicinity of the Town Hall Square can only be visited on foot/ with a wheelchair. The distance is approx. 500-600 meters/ 0.3-0.4 miles in total and allows you to see the Great Guild Hall, the Church of the Holy Spirit, Börsi Passage (a lane where history is written on the pavement- literally), the Old Town Hall, the Town Hall Pharmacy from 1422; Viru Gates and the city wall.

The route is step-free, though there are some cobblestones and curbs. Most streets on our carefully selected rolling route have plain sidewalks.

Next, we leave the touristy environment behind and show you some…

neighborhoods located beyond the old city

We will make several stops on this accessible Tallinn tour and recommend to spend some time off the minivan to better absorb the atmosphere. Each stop will have a different story to tell. You will get to see:

Kadriorg Park– a charming palace from early 18th century, lovely garden and a pond, Kumu Art Museum, the Office of the President of Estonia.
