What people say about Kert
"A glimpse of wilderness"
The day went smooth and very interesting. Our guide had been really great and able to show us many details of the beautiful National Park. Being in a small group gives the opportunity to interact with travelers of other countries.
"Family Tour - Riga to Tallinn "
We had a wonderful time on our priviate family tour. Kert was very nice, knowledgeable, and excited to share his experience and knowledge of the area. Highly recommend
"Great Day Tour from Tallinn"
You get to see a bit of everything from nature to Soviet history all in one relaxing day.
"Terrific Day Trip from Tallinn"
A full day visiting a variety of places near Lahemaa National Park. The bog walk was the highlight, learning about the bogs and local plants. The lunch spot had great Estonian food and beer. Kert and Ivan were knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. This is a great way to spend the day outside! Highly recommend.
"Top-Notch Tallinn Tour + Lovely Lahemaa "
Choosing to book this combo tour with the very knowledgeable Kert as our guide was an excellent choice. His tours of both Upper and Lower Tallinn were filled with historical facts, yet not too much to overwhelm your ability to soak in what you were seeing. He freely questions and also took us to viewing platforms where he took our group of 6’s pics. After Tallinn, we traveled to Lahemaa National Park. The walk through the bog on boardwalks was lovely. Afterwards, we visited a quaint fishing village and lunched in a centuries oid tavern.
"Talented Tallinn Guide"
We were delighted with our Traveller Tour and our gift of Kert , a middle school teacher, to lead us. He planned the perfect day!! We started in Freedom Square where he set the stage for what we would see. Arriving early allowed nearly empty streets and opportunities for photos without crowds..we explored both Upper and Lower Tallinn. Later, we enjoyed our beautiful visit to Lahemaa National Park. Walking through the bogs on a cloudless day was perfection. Our last stop was a centuries old marine fishing village and lunch in unique taven hundreds of years old. Kerry’s knowledge made the day!

"Beautiful nature and lovely Manor House"
It was a relaxed tour to a nice waterfall, to a very special place with small lakes, to an old fisherman place and an interesting manor house. It makes me eager to learn more about Estonia!
"Fantastic tour of Lahemaaa National Park"
I did tour of Lahemaaa National Park with Kert and tour was amazing. Our guide did phenomenal job to describe all aspects of Estonian life and history as well as all tour highlights. I highly recommend the tour!
"Narva and Sillamae Eastern Estonia Day trip"
Kerr Oun was our guide and he was fantastic! He knew all about Estonia and the area we traveled to! He was very helpful and the tour is a great way to see a different glance of Estonia from outside Tallinn! I would recommend going on this tour and hope you get Kert!
"Excellent day with Kert in Lahemaa"
Kert was very knowledgeable and was a great guide of Lahemaa, having been originally from the region. Would recommend for anyone!
"Exellent"
We had an exellent tour with an exellent guide!! He showed us interesting places and had answer to all our questions! I can recommend this tour.
"Exellent"
The guide took us to interesting places. He could answer any questitions we had during the hole Journey. He was brilliant!
"Great private tour "
Walked around old town and drove around highlights of Tallinn. Kert was a wealth of information and very knowledgable about the area and the history of Estonia. Great value - loved the tour
"We swam in a bog!"
This tour is the perfect way to explore the Estonian countryside if you’re otherwise just planning on staying in Tallinn. Highlights include a swim in the bog and the Sagadi manor garden
"Fabulous day trip from Tallinn"
A well-balanced tour, with a bit of everything. Kert, the guide, was very knowledgeable and very personable. You need your bathers so that you can swim in the bogs! The boardwalk is the highlight! Fantastic!
"Perfect tour"
The guides, Kert and Kullo, second driver, were supergood. I enjoyed the tour very much. I'd have liked maybe a little longer time in the Manor house, to enjoy more the gardens, maybe 1 hour stop rather than 45 minutes, but it was very enjoyable all the same.
"Best of Tallinn"
Our guide, Kert, was amazing. He is a history teacher and went above and beyond!! He even stayed well over the time for the tour. You can tell he loves what he does. We keep using his quote “Life is Life”

"Lovely day in the Estonian countryside "
We were a small group and Kert and Eliza were very fun and informative about showing us around Lahema, the Jagala waterfall and the baltic sea coast. Walking through the Viru bogs was definitely a new experience for us. In all, a very satisfying trip for a nature and outdoors lover.
"Excellent tour"
Excellent trip with kert Informational and the right pace Enjoyed chatting with him and learning about the history of the area He’s kind and courteous and will do his best to accommodate you Kerda tried her best to secure this trip for me in the ouf of season time so thx for doing that
"Schöner Tagesausflug von Tallinn"
Sehr interessanter und idyllischer Ausflug. Definitiv das Geld Wert!
"Wonderful way to explore Estonia"
A private tour was arranged for our group of 4. It included a stop at a waterfall and a moderate hike in the bog, followed by a visit to a manor house and a fishing village - all in all a great mix of various sights. Our tour guide Kert was very knowledgeable and attentive - we enjoyed his sense of humor and flexibility.
"이색적인 습지 체험"
가이드의 설명으로 습지 식물, 습지 형성 과정 등의 이해를 높였음. 가이드가 매우 친절히 안내함. 습지 경관은 매우 놀랍고 신기했음. 습지에 대해 많은 것을 알게 되었고. 에스토니아의 자연경관에 매료됨. 좋은 투어에 참여하였음에 감사함.
"Excellent tour"
Highly recommend this tour! A great way to see some of Estonia’s amazing nature spots, and also a chance to dive into some history. Our guide was very informative and our group of 7 was small enough for a very personal experience.
"Without Kert you might loose so many places and stories!"
Kert is a wonderful guide with enormous knowledge, who is individually setting places to see, he listens to guest’s interests. He is also a good driver and protective host- everyone is feeling safe during the trip. He’s English is excellent. Highly reccomand!
"Amazing day"
We really enjoyed this tour and we can thoroughly recommend it. Kert was an excellent tour guide. The tour exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing day.
"Excellent "Best of Tallinn" Tour"
Our group of 8 people just returned from our Baltic Cruise. One of the highlights of our holiday was our Best of Tallinn Tour provided by Traveller Tours. This was a walking tour of the Old Town combined with a driving tour to some areas outside of the usual crowded tourist areas. Our guide, Kert, was excellent. Being a teacher, he was able to provide a lot of historical information to our group in a a way that was both interesting and fun for everyone. Tallinn is a beautiful city that is rich in history. Therefore, a tour like this was extremely worthwhile as opposed to simply walking around without obtaining all of the information that we learned. In addition to the standard "touring," we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. When the tour was finished, Kert gave us useful information for things to do on our own in the old town prior to returning to our ship. The booking process was seamless and the price was excellent value for the quality that we received. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tallinn and would enthusiastically use them again in the future.
"Wonderful day trip!"
I highly recommend taking this tour to experience a bit of Estonia in addition to Tallinn. We saw natural beauty of the waterfall, the bog, the coastline, had a local lunch, and came to know quite a bit about life and history in Estonia. Our guide Kert was super - felt like a day out among friends.
"Fun and Interesting Tour! "
We were accompanied by the guide Kert who was very friendly and well informed on the area. We learnt a lot, not just about the Park, but about Estonian culture and wildlife in general. Highly recommend.
"Lahemaa national park is a must-see for anyone visiting the country"
We spent a wonderful day visiting incredibly preserved natural spaces in the company of the best guide
"A trip with friends :)"
I had the chance to take part to the tour even if they hadn't reached the minimum number of people. They were so kind to do it anyway and I was very happy about that. Kert is very friendly, well-prepared and easy-going. It was like spending a day among friends.
"Visite dépaysante"
Sortir de Tallinn pour une journée est vraiment sympa et permet de découvrir des paysages variés : bord de mer, marais, cascade. J'ai particulièrement aimé : _ la cacade de Jägala _ la ballade dans la forêt et les marais Notre guide était très sympathique et nous a non seulement donné des explications historiques, des informations sur la faune et la flore, mais nous a aussi raconté des anecdotes. Nous avons vraiment passé une excellente journée.
"Coastal Cliffs Tour"
We had a fabulous time on the Coastal Cliffs Tour, and our guide Kert was extremely knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure.
"Such a great experience! "
We are very happy to have booked a full day tour in Lahemaa. The whole experience was great. We had a taste of culture, history and nature. Plus, our guide Kert was super kind and very knowledgeable. We really recommend it!
"Exceptional day at the park"
This day tour, which I arranged as a private tour, brought us to a variety of beautiful places in the park. The bog walk was a wonderful way to experience the calming aspects of nature. Kert was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable and personable. We really appreciated that he did his best, within the guidelines of the tour, to let us see storks and cranes.
"Great trip making the most of visiting Lahemaa in one day"
Amazing tour - Kert did a really great job to show us all his favorite places around his home town while letting us decide (group of 4) what we‘d like to do best :) Had a fun and great day. The bogs are stunning, the swing was exciting and the lunch at the tavern was great and affordable with vegetarian options. Thank you again!
"Beautiful Bogland!"
The undoubted highlight was the bogland - try to make the most of this unusual and interesting ecosystem. The seaside village, manor house and waterfall were all good; but bogs are best! Kert was an excellent guide, too.
"Good tour guide and enjoyable trip"
Tour guide is very friendly and knowledgeable, bogs are beautiful. We also played the swings in the fishing village, picked blue berry during the expedition near the sea. Mr. tour guide drove us to our hotel when we return. Highly recommended.
"Fun day tour with a very knowledgeable guide!"
Kert was a great guide and explained the history and culture of Estonia in detail.
"Nice to get out of the city "
The tour was made up of different locations so it was nice to drive around and explore different parts of the countryside. Kert was a really nice guide, he gave us time to explore. The lunch at the Estonian tavern was really affordable and I enjoyed experiencing authentic cuisine. I was in a group of 6, which was a perfect size to get to know my fellow travellers. Take inspect repellent for the marshes and forest! And an umbrella as Estonian weather is so changeable.
"Great day out"
Fantastic day out with an excellent guide who made sure we all knew what was happening and the historical context of places we went. :) Tip for anyone taking the tour - make sure you have some mosquito spray for the bog and forest areas if you're going in Summer! Thank you so much Kert for a brilliant and memorable day ^_^
"Get Out! "
A wonderful adventure to the national park and surrounding areas and a fantastic way to enjoy Estonia outside of Tallinn. Kert was great and his sharing of Estonian history and culture was the perfect complement to a day out-of-doors. The bog walk was incredible and highly recommended. Once I saw the sundews, I was hooked (although I was hooked already)!
"Great walk through the bog and shorter walk along the coast"
This was a nice day tour, with as highlights the walk through the Viru bog and the walk along the coast. We also visited the Kolga manor, which is falling apart, although some repairs have been done, and shows the opulence of the Baltic Germans in the 19th century. In the forest before the bog, and part of the bog, and along the coast we did walk through a cloud of mosquitos, so bring stron mosquito repellent.
"Highlight of my Visit to Estonia"
This tour was the best part of my visit to beautiful Estonia. Our marvelous guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and kind. He was willing to answer a lot of questions about his country. The best. Anyone who wants to see Estonia outside of Tallinn must go on this tour!
"Terrific Trip with Traveller Estonia "
Super day trip from Tallinn to the delightful Lahemaa National Park - there is a lot packed into the day but the trip never felt rushed. Lunch stop was in a super traditional Estonian restaurant which I would never have found myself. We were accompanied on the trip by two guides in training who were enthusiastic and good company. Kert was knowledgable and agreeable company also. I recommend you bring a good camera and, if you are a nature lover, then a pair of binoculars would be a good idea too. Definitely 5 Stars fro this trip for both content and value. Thank you!
"Day at the coast"
Lovely to venture beyond Tallinn to see a little of the Estonian Countryside and the west coast. We stopped at Nova Beach and Spitham Point - very pleasant. Saw Haspsalu castle and the railway station, but was disappointed we had no free time for a wander around Haapsalu on our own - especially as weather was beautiful.
"Amazing trip"
Last week, my family and I went on the Coastal Cliffs and Soviet Paldiski Tour. We very much appreciated the beautiful and varied scenery but also the different historical sites. Our tour guide, Kert, was amazing: his knowledge and passion for history was truely fascinating ! We all really loved this trip !
"Lahemaa park with an awesome guide"
Very interesting and smiling guide The groupe was super cool Had a very good experience
"A very interesting trip"
A very interesting trip where the history and beauty of Estonian Nature are mixed equally. The visit inside the Antonov 12 is a must for aviation lovers! Very good work by our guide.
"Discovering Estonian Nature In A Day"
Very good.
"A great day away from Tallinn."
My family all said this was one of their favorites of our trip to Tallinn. Our guide Kert was great. Getting to see the old Soviet town, quarry/prison, abandoned base and cargo plane gave us a feel for life under the USSR rule. Getting to the coastal cliffs gave us some beautiful views.
"Easy way to experience a bit of country "
Very good idea to visit places on the way between Tallinn and Rīga, and this one is made easy and nice, we had a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. I guess I wish we had seen more of Estonia, the museum wasn’t too much of a new thing to me.
"A great way to explore the countryside!"
A lovely day. I really wanted to get outside capitol cities into villages, and this tour allows this opportunity. Our guide Kert was very knowledgeable and just a very warm, great guy. Conversation flowed frfelt. The other guests were interesting because they had Estonian heritage and added their own personal stories when we visited sites. I would highly suggest this tour to my friends!
"Tour offered cultural insights beyond visit to capital cities. "
Kert was a great guide. His enthusiasm to share his knowledge of the history and culture of Estonia and Latvia was a huge benefit to our trip from Tallinn to Riga. I did enjoy each of the stops. I do wish we could have explored Cesis to a greater extent. The road to the national park was pretty rough (Gravel road with extended sections with washboard). But in it's own way, the road revealed the state of rural living as it exists today. The restaurant for lunch was nice.
"Getting from A to B hitting several other letters on the way"
My friends and I decided to make the most of the journey between Riga and Tallinn so signed up for the sightseeing tour. It was a long day, about 12 hours in total, but well worth it. We set off in two mini-vans of a maximum capacity of 8 (we were in a van of six) so it was comfortable. The guides, Anna and Kert, were very nice, knowledgeable and had a funny Latvian-Estonian banter going on. They answer all our questions and provided us with insights into the day to day life in both countries. We visited several places we would not have been able to do had we just taken public transport between both cities, and enjoyed getting to know the countries better, as well as other travellers. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

"Great Way to Get from Tallinn to Riga"
Kert was an awesome tour guide. None of the stops were staggeringly impressive, but it was a fun day nonetheless. Lunch was amazing.
"Very interesting tour of a different part of Estonia "
Kerr did a great job showing us a lot near and around Narva. He explained the history well and as we were on a private tour he also adapted the schedule when we asked to visit an additional site. It was a great day!
"Great tour!"
The tour was very interesting and a lot of fun. Kert is an amazing guide.
"Amazing, Fun and Breathtaking....."
It was a really great day trip to unusual sights if that what you like! The coastal views, the prison, the waterfalls and ex Soviet history, it was all amazing and Kert's extensive knowledge of the areas and history was brilliant!! Pick up and drop off were timely and lovely stops for breaks too. Thank you!!
"Beautiful Winter Experience"
Our group was only made of four people incl. our guide. Kert is a jung very openminded guy. He had a lot of information and knew perfectly how to entertain our little group. The weather was just great. The sun was shining and we had warm temperatures. The melting waterfall, the hike through the wetlands and having a look to that quirky museum at the beach was just wonderful. I absolutely recommend you to do that tour!
"Great way to see Estonia "
We had a great day with Kert and especially enjoyed the abandoned town, which looked great in the snow! It's a long day but there's plenty to see and it's an excellent way to see a bit more of the country outside Tallinn. Kert was a nice guy and a great driver too!
"The wild northeast of Estonia"
Great solo tour with Kert to the northeast of Estonia. A fascinating day of history both ancient and recent in a beautiful part of Europe. So much to see and do in a land of contrasts. Expect your preconceptions to be challenged, and enjoy a fun day out. Kert is an exceptional guide - knowledgeable, witty, accommodating and fun.
"Fun way to transit "
Stopped by a few otherwise would have been cumbersome to see spots along the way. Viljanda and Cesis were my favourite!!
"Friendly driver Kert.. "
Friendly, good food on the way., pleasant journey 🎉
"Great trip!"
Great way of getting from Tallinn to Riga, really enjoyed seeing the countryside and especially the mini hike in the national park. Kert was lovely, full of fascinating information and very friendly, he made every effort to let us take nice photos en route. Excellent food at the lunch stop! Thank you
"Lahema National Park"
A very kind guide and a great experience
"The best of Tallinn in 5 hrs"
Our guide Kert met us at the cruise terminal. The tour was in a comfortable van which was well air-conditioned. Kert first took us to the Old Town where he gave us a lot of information about its history. We then went to Catherine's Palace, followed by the Song Festival Grounds. We concluded the tour with a brief visit to Pirita beach. A pleasant shore excursion which made us fall in love with Tallinn.
"Could have been better"
The tour was good in some respects, and I’m not sorry we took it, but I have some complaints, and overall it could have been better. We are not fussy, but the condition of the car we rode in was borderline unacceptable. It smelled bad. Our guide was informative and knowledgeable, and did a great job explaining Estonian history and culture, but he didn’t take us along Pikk Street, which is sort of unconscionable. Fortunately I had my guide book with me, and we had time after the tour to return there and see it, but we might have missed it if I hadn’t been paying attention. Two things would have helped. First, if as a tour operator, you know that you are recommended by Rick Steves, then you should be sure to cover all the sights mentioned in his book, unless there is a good reason not to. Second, provide a map and an overview of what we’re going to be doing at the outset. It really helps to get oriented and to have a rough idea of what’s coming next. We did privately-led tours at every stop our cruise ship made, and this was the only one that didn't meet a high standard (especially with respect to the car).
"Great day out in Estonia!"
We decided to do this tour to escape the city and explore the natural elements of Estonia. Our guide Kert was very knowledgeable and friendly and the tour was laid back and very enjoyable. Lunch was fantastic at one of the private houses that also contained a private maritime museum. The walk through the viru bog was a truly unique travel experience!
"Tallinn to Riga with a Baltic Dip"
Collect by Kert and Ian in Tallinn, two really nice guys who were so easy to talk to . They told us about the history of Latvia and Estonia and everything inbetween. It was a beautiful day and the guides brought us to Parnu and we did some shopping , had our lunch and later went swimming in the Baltic... Amazing. We made the most of our last day and we were dropped off at the Riga airport , happy and satified that we got to see so much.
"Amazing"
We enjoyed our trip. The guide was amazing and gave insights of all the places enroute. Totally recommend.
"Great diversity and inside into Estonian life"
We have been so lucky with the sunny weather but that wasn't all that was great about this tour. Loved the diversity of sites we were visiting - a perfect combination of nature and history! Kert was very knowledgeable and gave us an honest and personal inside into Estonian history and daily life. Thanks again for this great experience, Kert!
"Beautiful trip to Lahemaa - must do from Tallinn"
Lahemaa National Park is very beautiful, we had stunning weather and could enjoy everything. The guide was very friendly and helpful and told us many things about Lahemaa, Tallinn, Estonia and the whole region. Definitely a must do in Estonia.
"Un buon tour"
Un bel tour soprattutto la tappa del Gauja national park, opinabile la scelta del museo militare di Valga per le scritte solo in estone. La guida era molto preparata, ma dava lunghe spiegazioni parlando molto velocemente perciò, avendo una limitata conoscenza dell'inglese, a volte non riuscivo ad ascoltare completamente il discorso.
"The side of Estonia I needed to see"
I am really glad I got to do the national park tour. Tallinn's old town seems to be getting the global attention for being one of the most underrated travel destinations, but I would say I was even more blown away by the nature (beautiful bogs) and the small fishing village of Estonia. My guide Kert was very knowledgeable, friendly and very funny! I felt that I could get a better perspective of life in Estonia/ Tallinn. I would recommend this tour to anyone about to visit Tallinn. This tour was the highlight of my trip! It really made me want to come back to explore the country/culture more. Thanks again Kert!
"Very special tour"
Thank you so much for an amazing journey into the past Soviet history of the country. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
"Excellent day trip"
Excellent day trip outside of Tallinn. Definitely recommend it. Excellent guide (Kert) and we really enjoyed it. A little bit expensive though considering the tour operator didn’t have additional expenses other than the guide and transport
"Great location, great trip "
It was a fabulous experience, made memorable by our guide Kert
"Costal Cliffs and Soviet Paldiski"
Great day from start to finish. Our your guide Kert was brilliant. Loads of information given about each place visited. This is an alternative insight into Estonia. Some really unexplored places to visit. Quarry visit was fantastic! Going home to Scotland with great memories.
"Great day in Lahemaa National Park "
Our guide was great, his explanation was interesting. If you arrived prepared about what you would like to see, they really try to take you there. I suggest it 😊
"What a great and funny trip to Tallinn!!"
We took the traveller tours bus from Riga to Tallinn. It was the best choice! We had an amazing trip with lots of nice stops at different spots which were all really worth it to see! Thanks to Traveller Tours and especially to Kert who made this experience possible :) he also was very funny, we could ask questions whenever we wanted to. In general it was just very nice to have a talk with him. We definitely would choose this option to travel from Riga to Tallinn again!
"Estonia's winter wonderland!"
An absolutely perfect day! We were greeted at our hotel at the arranged time by our guide for the day - really sorry but I can't exactly remember his name, (hockey-mask guy on the posters in Tallinn!). He was brilliant - very informative and extremely friendly. Visit to the waterfall was worth many stunning pictures. The husky farm was an unforgettable visit, plenty time to meet the owner and all the dogs - again, very informative and welcoming. Sled ride was marvellous. My son didn't want to leave!
"A good tasting of Estonia"
Estonia is a small country. The "Lahemaa National Park day tour" is a very good experience if you cannot make a few days tour. It introduces you some typical things. The small track was cool, the froze waterfall was amazing and the lunch in the museum was also unforgetable. But above the all Kert (our cute guide) was perfect. His short stories and explanations were full of charm.
"History and Humour"
We were lucky enough to have Kert as our guide for the day. His history knowledge was incredible and was able to introduce us to a glimpse into Estonian and Tallinn from centuries ago to this day. Kert has a wonderful sense of humour and very well travelled himself - so his tour was much more than an ABC of a place and a drive by and wave of key attractions you might often find with tour companies. Well done Kert and thank you.
"Tallinn to Riga Sightseeing Tour Bus"
Stumbled on this trip while planning our route from Tallinn to Riga. Friendly staff for booking. Kert was our tour guide. He was charming and extremely knowledgable and passionate about culture and history of Estonia and Latvia. This was a very long day but totally worthwhile! Saw some sights we would never see usually. I would recommend this tour as a great way to travel between Tallinn and Riga. Kert for tour guide of the year!!
"One of the highlights of Estonia!"
We booked pretty last minute to go on the Coastal Cliffs and Soviet Paldiski Tour and Traveller Tours sorted it all out for us really quickly and the tour couldn't have been better! We were picked up in the morning by Kert who was awesome! He knew all the answers to our barrage of questions and did it all with a smile on his face and many laughs along the way. The trip certainly packed in lots of interesting things to see over the course of the day including soviet bunkers and buildings, a monastery, waterfalls and probably our favourites .... Rummu prison and quarry as well as the soviet cargo plane. This trip was one of the highlights of our time Estonia and well worth checking out.
"First-rate tour company!"
I don't recall how my daughter found Traveller Tours when we were planning a trip to Estonia; but I'm glad she did. By us, small-group tours with local guides win hands-down over both large, cookie-cutter "highlight" tours done in lockstep with others, and the DIY approach with its inevitable false starts, lost time, and missed possibilities. We did two TT tours while in Estonia: one to Viljandi and the university town of Tartu, the other to the resort area around Haapsalu. Our respective guides, Kert and Marju, were graduate students fluent in English with an excellent grasp of both Estonian and European history and a good handle on the particulars of each site we visited. On the Viljandi/Tartu trip, we three had Kert to ourselves. So it effectively was a private tour at a group-tour price. On the Haapsalu trip, we had a congenial group of eight plus Marju. In both cases, we had plenty of time to talk and ask questions along the way; and we learned a great deal. Should we have a second opportunity to visit Estonia, we would happily go on more Traveller Tours. Thanks, Kert and Marju and colleagues, for doing such a great job!
"Outstanding trip to Narva and Eastern Block Sites"
Kert Oun was the guide for an extremely enjoyable and educational outing from Tallinn to Narva and many sites with buildings from the Soviet era. A history buff, he went in depth on each site and the history of Estonia and it's people. He was also highly respectful of the local people during our visits to various towns. Don't miss this tour if you can manage it, especially if Kert is the guide.
"Coastal Cliffs and Soviet Paldiski"
This was a 7 hour trip with plenty of stops. Good to see different parts of Estonia. The waterfall was beautiful. The roads were so quiet. The Russian aspect is such recent history. We also had lunch in an old Tavern in Russian Paldiski - dumplings! Our tour guide Kert made the trip very enjoyable and we got to know quite a bit about Estonian life. Well worth the money, a good day out.
"Narva & The Eastern Bloc tour"
I attended Narva tour and it was a great experience for me! We visited places I would not be able to discover on my own, a spooky abandoned village and a huge former cotton factory, historical soviet buildings, castle on the very boarder with Russia and other cool places where the time has stopped and we could "taste" the forgotten fame from the past. Kert was a very nice guide with knowledge of the history and explained to us all the interesting background of the places. He was very friendly and together with other tourists, the tour turned to an exciting trip of friends.
"Narva & Eastern Bloc Tour"
Travelling with Kert and Isabel has been a great pleasure. The day-tour has been filled with information about this out-of-the-way part of Estonia - historical as well as modern times have been covered by the profund knowledge of Kert. Both guides were great company (as were the other guest) and I had lots of fun. And thanks for the safe driving. Thanks again and all the best to you
"Narva tour"
I took the tour to Narva last year with Kert as a tour guide. What I enjoyed the most was that there was never a rush, unlike most other tours I have been to. Kert had answers to all my questions. We all got along really well and it felt like I was travelling with a group of friends. Narva tour would be a perfect fit for someone who is interested in soviet era and exploring abandoned places. Everything was excellent!
"Excellent guiding"
We had a private tour with Kert last week from Tallinn to Narva. We enjoyed the full day with excellent guiding to historic places. Ingrid and Claes
"Our guide Kert was amazing"
It was the most exciting national park that I ever visited!
"Well done private tour to Narva"
We booked this full-day tour online in advance in order to see something different and spend a day with a local, away from the Capital. We were too sure what to expect, but found the experience well worth our time and the expense. We inquired about changing the date of the booking by a day due to more favorable weather and also asked about changing our final payment from cash to credit card and they effortlessly agreed. Our guide, Kert, was very timely, courteous and accommodating to our requests throughout the day. He provided good and interesting commentary and answered our many questions with plenty of details. Complements to Kert and Tallinn Traveller Tours for a job well done.
"Day trip to Haapsalu"
We visit Tallinn every year in February and booked a private tour to Haapsalu (our flights were on dates of regular tour) and it really was an excellent day out, well worth the extra cost. Kert, our guide, was great - we chatted about all sorts of aspects of Estonian life, and he was so knowledgable about the interesting places we visited - and got as excited as we did when we drove across the ice-road on the Baltic!! Communication before our trip was excellent and we were so pleased we did it. Definitely will be booking another tour to another part of this beautiful and fascinating country when we come back next year. Thank you so much for a great day out.
"An adventure full of laughter, fun, stories and very friendly atmosphere"
Estonia is a wonderful country with amazing nature, sightseeings and interesting history. I love it and want to come back!

Kert is a safe driver, speaks excellent English and always cares about participants´ needs and wishes.. the best guy to explore beautiful Eestimaa with :) Thank you very much !!!
"Want to return to Estonia for more places at the countryside"
I had a superb tour to a lot of places at Lahemaa National Park with Kert. This tour caused definitely the wish to return to Estonia for more places at the countryside. Kert is an expert at the region because he grew up locally. He is also a historian who knows interesting facts about visited places (as Kert has also studied in Cologne, Germany where I live, I also got a view of Cologne carnival from an Estonian)
"The mixture of nature and history was very good."
We took the Lahemaa National Park day tour. It was a very full and varied day, with a range of interesting and entertaining experiences. The mixture of nature and history was very good. Kert, our excellent guide, put everyone at ease and had a gift for explaining Estonian history. His knowledge of nature and Estonia was also very broad. His driving was also perfect.
"Experienced playing on the traditional Estonian swing and had so much fun"
I did a Lahemaa National Park day tour with Kert as my guide. He was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he knowledgeable with the history of Estonia, he is a fun guide as well. I have experienced playing on the traditional Estonian swing and had so much fun with it. Thank you so much Kert for giving me such an unforgettable experience in Tallinn.
"If you go to Tallinn, this tour should be in your program."
It was an amazing day in the Lahemaa National Park with Kert. He is a professional guide with a lot of knowledge of Estonian history. He tells with passion and humor and brings a lot of personal experience with it. The national park is really amazing and wonderful place and if you go to Tallinn, this tour should be in your program.
"The whole tour felt like an exciting road trip with friends"
We made the Lahemaa National Park tour today. Our guide was Kert. Not only did he amaze us with his thorough knowledge of Estonian history that he happily shared with us, he also managed to return 100% of the participants for the first time in his career - what a keeper! ;) The whole tour felt like an exciting road trip with friends from different nationalities and at different ages. Thank you very much!
"Kert made us feel very comfortable"
Kert was a great guide. Made us feel very comfortable. He was charming, funny, and informative. We had a great time and can recommend him highly. Best of luck, Kert, we'll send friends! We just loved Estonia!
