"Anna met us (me, my sister, her husband, my husband) at 9 am for our tour of Tallinn. Prior to the tour she asked about our interests so she could address them on the tour. We walked through Old Town and Anna explained the history, politics, education system, business, architecture of this beautifully preserved medieval city. We traveled in late March, which was perfect because the town was not crowded. We were able to go into churches that were open (the Tallinn Alexander Nevsky Cathedral had a service in process with beautiful music) and to several overlooks of the old town. A very special part of the tour was visiting a medieval garden that Anna spearheaded during Covid dedicated to Hildegard of Bingen. We entered into another private courtyard behind another church where there was a painting of Hildegard and inside the courtyard met a Franciscan monk who has devoted himself to protecting plants and animals and teaching children, through puppetry and a handbuilt theatrical biblical story of angels and the holy family and dragons--it wa quite spectacular. He came out from his house and demonstated how it worked. We then went into his home/workshop and he revealed himself as a unique artist, making paper and drawing and creating multimedia books with poets in the area. He paged through the books with us (he went to the front line of the Russian/Ukraine war in 2014) to document the loss of life there. It was an amazing time we spent with this holy man. Thank you, Anna, for the special time that none of us will ever forget."

"Anna provided a thorough tour of Old Town with historic and cultural highlights. She took us to a beautiful community garden, Hilde Garden, which she helped found. She also took us to her friend’s workshop, which was the most moving and special moment of our entire trip. Anna is a special person, always seeking learning and new challenges. "

"My husband and I booked the \"Highlights and Hidden Gems of Tallin\" with Jorge just a few days ahead of our cruise stop at Tallin. Jorge made us feel very at ease right away. He listened to our conversation and noted that we like local markets, so that was our last stop. And it was great! We enjoyed every aspect of the tour and Jorge's story of the places he has lived was so interesting. We also especially enjoyed Jorge's choice of an ancient venue for a requested coffee stop. BTW the coffee was delicious! We highly recommend Jorge as your Tallin guide!"

"We had a wonderful time touring with Jorge. He listened carefully to what we wanted to do and took us to many spots we would never have found on our own. He is also extremely well-versed in the history of Estonia and added greatly to our knowledge. I highly advise touring with him."

"My wife and I (English-speaking) booked this five-hour tour because we had limited time in the city but were very interested in its history, both medieval and modern. Jorge surpassed any expectation we could have had. He had that Furkan Gokcel (IFYKYK) energy that we always hope for in a guide. We used every bit of five hours exploring noteworthy parks, monuments, and structures. He is extremely knowledgeable about history and culture. Jorge also helped us avoid the cruise ship crowds through careful timing and maneuvering. We highly recommend this for a couple or group that values local insight & a historical lens on the city. "

"We had a wonderful 5 hrs tour with Jorge- he immediately understood what we wanted to see and gave us an incredible tour of the City incorporating a lot of history, art, architecture and local culture. We walked, took the tram, went to old coffee shops even off the beaten track churches which we loved. His passion for history and exploring the world as well as his positive attitude was exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommended!!!!!"

"Jorge was a terrific guide and gave us a real insight into Estonian history, politics, architecture, society, culture and life . He also showed us lots of interesting hidden places. As a Cuban Estonian he had interesting perspectives and was a delight to spend 5 hours with. Would recommend him and the 5 hour tour highly. "

"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."
