5.Day Trip to Land of Bays, the Romantic North-Coast from Tallinn

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 20 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $144

Spend about eight hours with an English-speaking guide, often Paul, exploring Estonia’s northern coast from Tallinn. See Jägala Waterfall, walk Viru Bog, visit Käsmu and Altja, enjoy a light lunch, and stroll through Vihula Manor. Expect nature, village roads, and a fair amount of walking.

“Nobody came at the meeting point. We were waiting with a family that have also booked the tour with this company, the only difference is that we did it through Viator. We hope to have our refund through Viator asap (it’s been 2 days and we still don’t have news from Viator, and of course, neither from the company) because this was definitely a scam. This company was deliberately posting and unposting the ad. That was a red flag. The day before we send them a message, nobody answered. Second red flag. Nobody picked up the phone. Nothing. Please don’t book anything with them.”
