What people say about Kullo-Kalev

Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor

"The Perfect Estonian Ambassador — Lahemaa National Park with Kullo"

Kullo is exactly the kind of guide who makes you want to come back. He's deeply patriotic about Estonia in the best possible way — not boastful, but genuinely passionate — and that enthusiasm is infectious from the moment the tour starts. The Soviet history alone was worth the trip. Growing up in Australia, you have almost no frame of reference for what that occupation actually meant at a human level — the stories Kullo shared about how it shaped this region, the land, and the people were eye-opening. He clearly loves talking geopolitics and he's good at it; the kind of conversation you don't expect from a day tour but walk away genuinely grateful for. Beyond the history, he has a sharp eye for the natural world — he spotted wild berries along the way and pointed them out with the same enthusiasm as the historical sites, which made the whole day feel alive rather than scripted. And his sense of humour kept everything light; the laughs were genuine. What really stood out was the personal touches. He went out of his way to drop me at a different stop so I wouldn't miss my dinner reservation — completely unprompted and not at all required. He also introduced us to a local Estonian snack at a gas station stop, which sounds small but is exactly the kind of thing that makes a tour feel authentic rather than touristy. If you want to understand Estonia — not just see it — book this tour and hope you get Kullo.

"Top tour "

What a great day from start to finish ,all thanks to kullo ) his enthusiasm was infectious and when we ask if we could swim in the bog he joined us too ,food was lovely and all the information was interesting

"Loved the autumn colours"

Kullo-Kalev took us to some incredible scenery, and picked us berries and other edible fruits along the way. He gave us insight into history and cool corners of the park I don't think we would've seen had we gone on our own. Thank you so much!

"Best tour guide ever!!!"

I really didn’t know what to expect bc I hadn’t ever used Traveller tours, but our guide Kullo, was OUTSTANDING!! One of the best guides we’ve ever had. He was so passionate about explaining history of Estonia and its people. He also including information about his own life living in Estonia.

"The Bogs Were Amazing"

This is such a unique ecosystem. Unlike anything I had seen before. Our guide Kullo was outstanding. A definite must-see when in Estonia.

"A great introduction to real Estonia"

I chose this tour purely to visit the bog environment but got so much more from it - authentic Estonian lunch, Estonian perspectives and a tour guide who is passionate about his Country and willing to share his knowledge. Highly recommend.
