"Beautiful park but not much information from the guide"

The trip starts at the center of the old town where our quiet guide met us, introduced herself and ushered us to the 8 person van, where the 7 of us squeezed in. The guide immediately inserted a cd of Estonian music. If it wasn't for a very talkative fellow traveler, I'm not sure she would have spoken through the entire drive. The first stop was a waterfall with port-a-potties. It's not a very big waterfall but it has unusual color which the guide explained briefly came from the colors of the peat moss. Next was the bog where the guide ushered us to the trail, told us to beware of the "bad" mermaids in the bog, read the board at the beginning of the hike on how the bog was formed, showed us a couple of plants and sent us on our way. She drove the van to the end of the trail, so there is no guide during the bog part of the hike (a bit more than a mile). Note that while the beginning of the hike is a full boardwalk, the second part of the hike is a two plank, slippery walk, so wear good shoes. There's a tower you can climb up half way in to get broader views of the bog. The bog is beautiful with many different colors of peat moss and mushrooms and plants. The guide met us at the end of the bog trail and then took us to lunch. While she answered questions at lunch, she didn't really contribute any information without someone asking questions. Lunch was very good in an interesting lodge at the fishing village. We walked to the beach where the guide gave a brief history of the fishing village, got on a giant swing where the guide briefly discussed summer festival and then headed to the manor house. Here the guide gave us a brief history of the manor house and Estonian history in five minutes and then we were on our own for about 45 minutes. We met back with the guide and drove back. The guide did not speak to the group the entire hour back. I've since been told that Estonians are "introverts", and the guide seemed like a "nice person" if a bit shy (unusual for a guide), but it was the strangest "guided" tour I've ever experienced (I had another tour the next day which was much more similar to what I expected--with the guide actually giving history, statistics about the city, etc. unprompted, adding great value to the tour). I'm not sure if this is the usual way these tours go, but I was disappointed not to learn more about the bog, estonia, etc. I gave this level of detail about the experience because I would have found it helpful to know these details BEFORE I selected this tour.

"The best way to know Estonia, out of Tallinn "

It was an amazing tour to the espectacular National Park Lahemaa. The guide Mariel was very nice and made us feel very confortable during the whole day. An experience that I will recommend 100% to all of you that want to see more places near Tallinn

"A peaceful day nearby the city"

It was a beautiful day, full of reminders nature is both awesome scientifically and esthetically. Our guide, Kullo, was enthusiastic. All his explanations and stories show his passion for nature and conveying Estonian culture.

"Getting out of the city "

This was an excellent day getting out of the city and seeing a national park, learning about some of the history of Estonia, but also about some of the flora and fauna that can be found in the park. It was a really relaxed day. Rhea was an amazing host and it was a full day without feeling like it was exhausting. She is clearly a knowledgeable and proud Estonian. Highly recommend it

"Beautiful and educational trip "

Learning the environment, culture and history while walking through the beautiful Borg and forest is an amazing experience.

"A tour that is worth it"

They picked us up in the city center and took us to the essential places in the park (the Jägala waterfall, the walk through the bog, the coast, the forest and even to a manor house) and told us a lot of things about the nature and customs of Estonia that would have taken us centuries to discover. The trip was really interesting not only because of the landscape but because of everything we could discover about it with the help of the guides. Rhea and Marc were fantastic and made us spend a great day visiting the park. With Marc we could even speak in Spanish and in Catalan. The place where we had lunch was one of the best places we have eaten. Bring a winter coat, swimsuit and an umbrella. You will be fine.
