About
Estonian history is full of crossing with other cultures which all have left their traces to our country, culture, and cuisine - making it an interesting blend of East and West with strong Nordic roots. A Nordic country with a twist... Food Sightseeing Estonia is providing food tours in Tallinn and also elsewhere in Estonia. Our food tours combine classical sightseeing with various typical for Estonia and for the region food & drink stops en route. We offer 3 types of tours: a) scheduled daily food tours during high-season (on Fridays-Saturdays during low-season), b) private food tours operating year round based on requests, c) tailor made activities (incentive programs for pre-, post-conference and spouse tours, tailor made programs for corporations, and FAM trips). Our food tours combine two great things that'll make every trip unique - you'll have a chance to discover the real soul of the city with the locals, and get to feel, taste and know Estonia through its kitchen.

" Romantic North Coast" of 6 hours: it was a trip which included the visit to Lahemaa National Reservoir with a multitude of bogs, the visit to the small fishermen village, with picknick prepared and selected by Paul with so many details and love and very tasty products (all included in the price!). We also visited the biggest manor in that area, Vihula. Me and my friend from Spain/Cuba we were looking to a special trip to this area and we had luck to get a private tour by Paul (it was during the week). I would highly recommend it who wants to get an authentical visit outside of Tallinn!

This is a strange one as I am writing to edit my earlier review when the guide didn't turn up. Tourist information told us that they had previously been very happy with Paul and his team
I am happy to report that we have been refunded by Paul who had been out of action and I am delighted that he is getting positive reviews again

A really great walking tour of Tallinn centered around food. Show up hungry because you are going to be fed a lot of really good food. Our guide did a great job of tying in the culture with the tour. All in all a great way to see And experience Tallinn.

We booked the Romantic North-Coast - a day trip to the land of bays trip, Paul was our guide and took great care of us.
My husband and I we enjoyed every minute of this day trip. Paul had organized the schedule of the tour extremely well. He was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information on all that we saw.
On this day tour, we not only learned a lot about Talin and Estonia, we saw Jagala waterfall, but we also had an amazing hike through the winter Laheema National Park and excuisit meal by the cost of Vergi.
The day was very enjoyable and left us with unforgettable memories.
I highly recommend Paul and Food Sightseeing Estonian.

We had a really great time! There was a good amount of variety (7 different stops) which gave us a lot of things to try. The best part was we were given a lot of history on the city as we walked from place to place. I would recommend to anyone!

We are a couple in our early 40s and have travelled extensively for work and pleasure.
IN SUMMARY:
Very good private tour. Over a nicely paced 3-hours, the very pleasant guide provided a great all round and most enjoyable education about the Estonian culinary scene, an overview of the Tallinn Vanalinn (old town), and discussions about Estonia in general. Good value, highly recommended.
My wife and I met Nicolai for what would become a most pleasant stroll through Vanalinn’s oldest and newer cafes, delis, restaurants, and places of interest. Most things we were more than likely never to have experienced, but we are familiar now and pretty much loved them!:
- Schnapps (Juniper??)
- Traditional Soups
- Traditional rye leib (bread)
- Kali
- Beet hummus (really?... yes and good!)
- Very pure vodka (we think!?)
- Truffles
- Chocolates
- Kama
- Sprats and wild mushroom in a contemporary smorgasbord presentation
- Rhubard wine
All tasty, interesting and with story to tell :) All of this made for a fantastic way to appreciate Tallinn in a creative and “real” way where you see places where residents lived traditionally and what they are now enjoying. We also really enjoyed the little surprise gifts along the way. Really nice touch.
Nicolai was really a pleasure as a guide, host and conversationalist. He was laid back, while peaking our interest with facts and anecdotes. He was easy to speak with regarding any questions we had, and certainly represented Estonia well and gave us a well-rounded appreciation and respect for the under-the-radar, but most impressive Estonian people and culture.
Many thanks, Nicolai!
Happy trails!!!

Took this tour on our one day stop in Talinn. The meet up spot was easy to find and our tour guide right on time. Our group consisted of three others who were visiting, but not on cruise ships.
Started at The Peppersack, a delightful old historic merchants house. This was the one formal sit down food stop. They served a delicious traditional pumpkin soup, but with a contemporary flair of seeds and watercress as garnish. Along side a shot of schnapps to start the day. Our host took this time to share with us a thorough introduction to Talinn.
We proceeded to tour the town, stopping off in a local shop that had a multitude of tastings. The shop was crowded with other tourists, but we all had an easy time taking a taste of local delicacies, like buffalo sausage and Metsmustika Krops (forest blueberry crips.). Many of us purchased items to take with.
We continued to tour local historic sites, an old pharmacy and tour. The walk was delightful and easy. We stopped inside the tower to taste a snack that our host brought and shared a bottle of the local liquor. We also stopped for a rest and a taste of a contemporary chef's creations of dip style foods served with crusty bread and washed down with a local beer. The tour ended at a modern day wine purveyor. She shared a touching story of a man who traveled far away, only to return home in his later years to open this winery business.
The tour had scheduled a driver to take us back to our ship. But a hard rain had started and we couldn't find him. We hailed a cab and lickity split was back at our ship.

We spent a great day with our guide, Nicolai, wondering the streets of old town Tallinn! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Tallinn which enhanced our enjoyment of the day and food. Really felt like we had a great overview of Estonian cuisine, tried many food items we would never have attempted. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in good food and good company!!

Magnificent! I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Tallinn is an elusive destination. Somewhat unfamiliar to most Americans. Our guide was incredibly intelligent & interesting. I can't imagine a better use of the short time we had in the city. Paul, our host, was full of rich history and arranged an exceptionally well-organized tour through 8 (or 9?) locations. We were sat and served within minutes in each shop. You'll be sampling a lot of food (and I'm an eater!) so pace yourself. I felt immersed in Tallinn's history and culture. I really enjoyed all of it, especially the cloudberry drink, the mushroom pies & elk soup, the little raspberry pancakes, and (omg) hands down the BEST chocolate I've ever had in my entire life. On our own we would never have covered as much ground in such an entertaining way. Do this!

In Tallinn on a cruise in Mid May. I understand that you have a great beer culture. Can we take a tour that is beer oriented or is it a set route?
Written March 5, 2020
Hi, yes, we do offer also Tallinn Craft Beer Tour, however, this is privately bookable and the price for it depends on the number of persons per booking.

Do you run the food tours in January?

In winter season we have scheduled our signature Tallinn Food Tour on Fridays and Saturdays at 11:30AM, and of course we provide private food tours all year round based on requests.
