Tallinn, Muhu Island

During this private luxury tour of Estonia, explore the charming city of Tallinn with your own guide and driver and explore the traditional villages and countryside of the less visited Muhu Island.

Begin in Tallinn, the enchanting capital of Estonia. Enjoy private touring of the fairy-tale Old Town, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a local insider, walk the narrow streets, admire ancient churches and merchant houses, gaze up at the imposing city walls, and take in spectacular views over the walled city and waterfront from Toompea hill. Also explore the open-air market, browse for beautiful Estonian textiles and crafts, and visit the city’s fashionable cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Venture outside the Old Town to see the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. Also explore leafy Kadriorg Park, a favorite area for locals that includes Kadriorg Palace, historic wooden houses, the Kumu Art Museum and other sights.

Next, transfer to rural Muhu Island, with touring en route in Parnu, a historic Estonian resort town on the Baltic Sea. On bucolic Muhu Island, stay two nights at luxurious Padaste Manor, the finest resort in the Baltic States. During private touring, experience traditional Estonian life and culture in the villages and countryside around Muhu and neighboring Saaremaa Island. Also enjoy the resort’s expansive grounds, traditional spa, excellent food and postcard views of the Baltic Sea.

This tour can easily be extended to include other destinations in the region, such as Lithuania, Latvia and Finland.
