This morning we bid farewell to Helsinki (and our fabulous Grand Central Hotel) as we set off for the storybook streets of Tallinn, Estonia. A scenic two-hour journey aboard the beautiful Tallink Ferry, followed by a private transfer, brings us into town at just the right time to check in, settle in, and relax.
This afternoon, we’ll dive into the charm and character of the city with a Private Tallinn Old Town Tour, followed by a fascinating visit to the Secret Bastion Underground Passages—hidden tunnels with centuries of history beneath our feet. Christoph’s friend, Eva-Marie with Nordic Experience, will personally take care of us.
And because Tallinn does “atmosphere” better than almost anywhere, we’ll cap off the day with a Medieval Feast worthy of a royal court.

Today we take a deeper dive into Tallinn and the beautiful coastline that surrounds her. With our private car and guide leading the way, we’ll head out to the elegant Kadriorg Park and the seaside district of Pirita for a curated tour filled with history, culture, and fresh Baltic air.
Along the way, we’ll enjoy panoramic sightseeing at some of Estonia’s most iconic landmarks—including the Song Festival Grounds, the Tallinn TV Tower, and the Olympic Village—each offering a unique glimpse into the country’s proud spirit and modern story.
A delicious two-course lunch will be served before we continue on to the revitalized Noblessner Harbor, one of Tallinn’s trendiest waterfront neighborhoods. Then it’s time to raise a glass with a beer tasting at the acclaimed Põhjala Brewery—because no Baltic adventure is complete without sampling the local craft scene.
And speaking of uniquely Estonian experiences… we’ll unwind in true Nordic style with a relaxing Iglusauna session. No need to pack a thing—towels, bathrobes, slippers, and even drinks are all provided.
Tonight is yours to enjoy at leisure in Old Town Tallinn. Wander, shop, sip, linger… you’ve earned it.

Before we return to Helsinki, we have a few more surprises in store! This morning we’ll explore Tallinn’s lively Baltic Station Market, followed by a guided walking tour through the creative and colorful Telliskivi district.
Then we’ll depart in style by private car and ferry, arriving back at Helsinki’s fabulous Grand Central Hotel with time to settle in and relax.
To wrap up our journey, Christoph will host one final hooray with a special farewell dinner.

Enjoy one final Finnish breakfast before we head to the airport. With full hearts (and surely a few extra memories tucked away), we bid farewell to Helsinki, farewell Tallinn, and farewell to the beautiful Baltic!
