2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

I'm offering my tour to everyone who wants to connect with the city of Tartu - we walk through the National capital of Estonia, and I share both history, the modern culture, and trying my best to build connections with Estonia. Why? I want to connect with people on my tours, so I keep group sizes small. This creates a more engaging experience for the whole group! I believe in personalized service, and my groups can tailor tours to topics of interest. We keep in contact throughout the tour too! And as always - Pay per fun! The best part is that you tip at the end of the tour based on how much you enjoyed it!

    I'll start with the basics: where I come from and why I'm madly in love with Tartu, as well as the tour's goals! I'll share a bit about the Estonian people, their identity, spirit, and fight for Independence, which made it possible for such a beautiful country to emerge and bloom!

    After the square, we'll stroll through the oldest street in Tartu - Ruutli Street, and chat about some modern, fun stories and recommendations. We'll visit St. John church, and I'll introduce you to the concept of soviet anecdotes, where you laugh because it's true. At the end of the downtown walk-through streets, we'll visit the main building of the University of Tartu - the core establishment of Tartu!
