Tour:

Helsinki To Tallinn Private Day Trip with Old Town Tour & City Sightseeing

I had approached Nordic Experience for two short tours from Helsinki – To Porvoo and Tallinn. The response with recommendation of tours for query was very prompt – I sent the request in the midnight and morning by 07 I got the proposal. We selected Porvoo Private Tour with Helsinki Highlights and Helsinki To Tallinn Private Day Trip with Old Town Tour & City Sightseeing. The response from Eva ( I believe the Managing Director) was impeccable and all the arrangements were made in a swift manner. The driver and guide were on time and took all the possible efforts to keep us comfortable while explaining the importance of each places we visited. Due to unforeseen situation we thought to cancel the trip to Tallinn that was scheduled on our second day, however we tried for a possible reschedule. Even though it was a last minute request, they were able to accommodate our request and we could visit Tallinn. The guide and driver who accompanied us in Tallinn were also excellent with their wide knowledge of the history of the country and importance of each places.

Tallinn Private Stories of Soviet Legacy Tour

I co-lead a learning abroad program to Estonia for an American university. We have used the services of Nordic Experience previously and have always received outstanding service. Eva-Maria Egipt-Peenmaa, managing director and tour guide, is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. She engages well with my students and is a fount of knowledge about Estonia. Eva-Maria replies to inquiries promptly (I’m not sure she sleeps), and it is a pleasure to interact with her. I highly recommend utilizing the services of Nordic Experience.

Tour:

Bastion Underground Passages & Tallinn Lower Old Town Private Tour

The overall experience from booking to tour execution was very professional. The tour was exactly as specified and included additional information that we were interested in. We had an international team to whom everything was new, but there was learning also for a participant from the neighboring country. We had a small team and interaction with the guide was very smooth.

Tour:

Tallinn Private Family Walking Tour & Marzipan Workshop

We just returned from a two week vacation in Finland and we did a day trip to Tallinn out of Helsinki. To maximize our time, we booked the Medieval Old Town Walking tour along with a Marzipan workshop. Our guide Aleksander met us at the ferry terminal and was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a great overview of the history of Tallinn and Estonia as we went, along with some great stories. The marzipan workshop was a lot of fun and created some nice souvenirs to take home.

Tour:

Helsinki To Tallinn Private Day Trip with Old Town Tour & City Sightseeing

It was a rainy cold day when we headed to Tallinn from Helsinki. Even the ferry crossing was dark & a bit on the rough side.

What a change when we were greeted at the Tallinn terminal by our guide Alexander.
A bright & bubbly contrast to the weather outside & boy did he know his stuff.
From the get go he was pleasant, accommodating, knowledgeable & absolutely loved his job & his country.
He had a sense of humor too which is always a bonus.
We had a running commentary as we drove through & around town. Alexander not only pointed out the highlights outside the car window but shared some of the complex & at times quirky history of Tallinn & Estonia.
We stopped & walked around parks, palaces & outdoor ampitheatres before even heading to the old town, all the time being educated & entertained by Alexander & our driver.
I couldn’t recommend this day trip enough. Sure it was a long, LONG day but it was so worth it. Its has put Estonia on our Go To list for future holidays.
Many thanks to Triin, Alexander, our driver whose name I cant remember & the team at Nordic. We had an absolute ball.

PS, loved the coffee, sandwich & apple pie break. It was an unexpected inclusion & that apple pie was to die for!!

Porvoo Private Tour with Helsinki Highlights

Helsinki is a quite familiar city for me. Or, actually, I thought so. This time tried a private tour of Helsinki with Porvoo and was truly impressed by Nordic Experience guide – Ritva. Very professional, knowledgeable, loves her country with all her heart. We’ve got an absolutely another picture of this severe beautiful city. Ritva knows here really everything: history, gastronomy, best places to avoid crowds and ways to wake up interest of each member of the group. Thank you, “Nordic Experience”, we’ll come back and ask you for new adventures for sure! 🙂

Panoramic Copenhagen Private Tour with Airport Transfer

We booked a private tour so we could see Copenhagen before boarding the Baltic Sea Cruise. We were picked up at the airport and dropped off at the cruise ship – so easy. It was worth every penny. We saw all the major sites and learned so much history of Copenhagen. Our guide, Benedicta, was amazing. We will definitely use Estonian Experience again if the need arises!

Tour:

Panoramic Copenhagen Private Tour with Airport Transfer

Our flight arrived in Copenhagen early in the morning and we couldn’t check into our AirBNB until 3pm. Our travel party consisted of 2 seniors, 2 children, and 2 adults. We were worried about what to do with our luggage and ourselves until we could get to our AirBNB. Thankfully we discovered Estonian Experience and booked a private tour with them. A driver and a guide picked us up at the airport, stored our luggage in the vehicle for the day, took us on a 5 hour private tour of Copenhagen, and dropped us off at our AirBNB. The service of our tour guide, Ian, and driver were amazing. Ian was so helpful and showed us all of the beautiful things that Copenhagen has to offer. He gave us advice as to what we could do on other days while we were visiting this city. He even helped unload our luggage and carried it into our AirBNB at the end of the day. This experience helped make the start of our vacation relaxing and enjoyable. Even the booking process was wonderful. Triin was quick to reply to all of my emails to help plan this amazing tour. I highly recommend Estonian Experience for future tours.

Copenhagen Private Panoramic Tour & Tivoli Amusement Park Adventure

We are a family of 9 (age range 75 to 9 years old) and were on a Baltic cruise and spent the day with Eva-Maria in Tallinn on a private tour. She was an awesome guide. Her enthusiasm for her city is infectious. She turned what we thought to be a throw-away port of call to one of the funner stops on our cruise. She was easy to work with and highly responsive prior to docking in Tallinn so arranging the excursion was a breeze….don’t let the cruise line lock you into their terrible excursions with WAY too many people on the excursion! Get personalized service from companies like Eva-Maria’s! 
She arranged a very nice bus for all of us so it was super comfortable. We have a child in a fold up wheelchair and she accommodated us perfectly. Mobility is a slight challenge in the old town (as in a lot of old European cities with a lot of cobblestone streets) but it was quite manageable for us.
We spent the day touring the old town, both upper and lower and then went to the Viking Village. This tour struck a good balance between the adults and the kids. The older folks appreciated the history and architecture of the old city and the kids had fun at the Viking Village, throwing axes and launching the catapult. The food served at the Viking Village was actually really good and the atmosphere of an old style Viking lodge was really fun. 
We liked Eva-Maria so much, we decided to use her company to arrange excursions in Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen and they were all excellent (I will add reviews in those cities). 
I would highly recommend this company to arrange your excursions!

Panoramic Copenhagen Private Tour with Airport Transfer

We had a wonderful day in Copenhagen! Sophie was an excellent guide, both knowledgeable and personable. We love this beautiful city and hope someday to spend more time on a return visit. We would enjoy another Estonian Experience tour (maybe the Castle & Countryside) and would certainly ask for Sophie if she were available.Thank you for making Copenhagen one of the highlights of our trip!

Best of Stockholm Private Tour with Vasa Museum & City Hall Visit

Thank you for the three wonderful tours that you arranged for our groups in Tallinn, Stockholm and Helsinki!

Tour:

Stockholm Private Accessible City Tour

My wife and I have mobility issues, so I contacted Estonian Experience told them of our issues and could they help.
We booked 4 tours with them in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Tallinn. 
We were met on time at every port, the drivers and the guides were an absolute pleasure to spend time with. The guides are all fully accredited and enjoy sharing their love of their country with you.
I can highly recommend the company.

Tour:

Stockholm Private Highlights Tour, Vasa Museum & Guided Transfer from Nynashamn

Estonian Experience provided my extended family of 18 a very memorable experience as we visited Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallin, Riga, and Copenhagen. The guides were all very professional and knowledgeable, and their love and passion for their homeland and culture was evident in the way they introduced us to their culture. They were all prompt or early (always awaiting us, never us awaiting them), and very flexible in accommodating our group’s desires and needs. Booking with Estonian Experience for the multicity tour took out a lot of stress of coordinating with what would have been 5 different tour companies. Eva-Maria and her team were very pleasant and easy to work with, not to mention accommodating, and Eva-Maria herself attended a couple of our tours that had itineraries that were new to the company.Estonian Experience is highly recommended.

Every guide was excellent, every driver was professional, and every bit of logistics was perfect. City tours? No problem. Riga-Hill of Crosses-Vilnius? No problem. Just use them.
