So, just wanted to give a follow up on what we ended up doing in Tallinn. We decided that we would need to book a private tour because there was a lot to see and there was very little time.

We ended up booking with Walks In Europe who were headquartered in Tallinn and only use local guides with professional licenses. Booking was easy and efficient. It was good to pay with a card so we did not need to negoatiate with anyone.

We arrived in Tallinn earlier that what we scheduled but our guide was waiting for us at the dock. After a short introduction, we jumped in the vehicle and headed for the Kadriorg Palace. We had plenty of information on the way and our guided tour was great for the Palace.

Julia then took us to the old town where we enjoyed lunch and the major highlights of Tallinn.

It was a great day ( although it rained a lot ), we also had abour an hour on our own for shopping before Julia let us back to the dock on time.

We had a good experience and wanted to share it because I've started this thread.

Has anyone been to the Kadriorg Palace? What is your experience like? Were any long lines?

We almost have a full day in Tallinn and of course we'd like to see the Old Town but what then?

I've been doing a lot of reading and can not decide between the Kadriorg Palace or the Kalamaja neighbourhood.

Has anyone been to these two sites? Did you go with the cruise's tours or can you recommend a local company? What about the lines at the Kadriorg Palace?

Thank you.
