Super great tour in Lahemaa National Park. Paul knew so much about Tallinn and the park. He drove to a few sightseeing spots with us on the way, otherwise we got much more than just the planned tour in the national park. He always responded to individual requests from us participants and always had several options to choose from for the individual stations on the tour. In the evening we left the tour with many great impressions and great restaurant tips.

It was a fantastic day. We were picked up in a nice clean car where the explanation about the history and fun facts started immediately. First we drove to the waterfall followed by the lahemaa national park. Afterwards, Gorge our guide adapted his further stops according to the weather and our interest. For example, we were given a say in taking a longer walk along a beautiful stand and forest.

An exceptional tour and a brilliant insight into Estonian Nature. I would recommend to anyone which would like to experience a day out of Tallinn. Jorge our guide was a fountain of knowledge which topped the tour.

Jorge was a wonderful guide. He knew so much and shared it in a very interesting way. He mad the day very special. He was able to read the group and adjust the day accordingly. Thank you very much!!
