Tallinn Greeters
‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ Free Walk with a local

Discover Tallinn through a free walk with a local

The city of Tallinn is a captivating blend of medieval charm in the Old Town and the lively energy of modern life. Lose yourself in the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, among the winding cobblestone streets, and discover the wonders of the centuries that have shaped it like the strategically important Raekoja Plats, which has been the liveliest part of the city for centuries. Or head to the red-tiled roofs of Toompea Hill to enjoy a magnificent view of the Baltic region and the city.

The best way to explore the city’s hidden corners and discover its true character is to join a free walk with a local. Join the people who know the city’s hidden corners: the Tallinn Greeters, local volunteers dedicated to sharing their wonderful city with visitors. Experience authentic local life up close and hear stories about the city just as they’re meant to be told.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .

Maximum six people!

Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).

Meet a local volunteer

Our core value #1  reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?

Free service, no tipping

Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
