I will welcome you in my home to share a home made food with my own twist.
This is NOT a Michelin star restaurant experience but rather an opportunity to try a lot of different handmade dishes, products from local markets and have a friendly chat in an informal way.
"Anna met us (me, my sister, her husband, my husband) at 9 am for our tour of Tallinn. Prior to the tour she asked about our interests so she could address them on the tour. We walked through Old Town and Anna explained the history, politics, education system, business, architecture of this beautifully preserved medieval city. We traveled in late March, which was perfect because the town was not crowded. We were able to go into churches that were open (the Tallinn Alexander Nevsky Cathedral had a service in process with beautiful music) and to several overlooks of the old town. A very special part of the tour was visiting a medieval garden that Anna spearheaded during Covid dedicated to Hildegard of Bingen. We entered into another private courtyard behind another church where there was a painting of Hildegard and inside the courtyard met a Franciscan monk who has devoted himself to protecting plants and animals and teaching children, through puppetry and a handbuilt theatrical biblical story of angels and the holy family and dragons--it wa quite spectacular. He came out from his house and demonstated how it worked. We then went into his home/workshop and he revealed himself as a unique artist, making paper and drawing and creating multimedia books with poets in the area. He paged through the books with us (he went to the front line of the Russian/Ukraine war in 2014) to document the loss of life there. It was an amazing time we spent with this holy man. Thank you, Anna, for the special time that none of us will ever forget."
"Can’t say enough about our intro to Tallin with Jorge. Just coming in for the day with a small group of Jorge met us at the ferry, got us straight into the heart of Tallin we wanted to visit. Great historical references and knowledge, great sense of humor. Had a great time and got our bearings in no time to spend the restricted exploring in our own and easily back to our ferry from Jorge’s landmarks to easily return. Thanks Jorge!

"Jorge is very well-informed of the Estonian history and all the Buildings in Tallinn and their history. Additionally, he gave me good impression of the current political situation, how the society is doing and what are their problems. It was really nice to talk to Jorge. His English was very good, certainly better than mine."
"Anna provided a thorough tour of Old Town with historic and cultural highlights. She took us to a beautiful community garden, Hilde Garden, which she helped found. She also took us to her friend’s workshop, which was the most moving and special moment of our entire trip. Anna is a special person, always seeking learning and new challenges. "
"My husband and I booked the \"Highlights and Hidden Gems of Tallin\" with Jorge just a few days ahead of our cruise stop at Tallin.
Jorge made us feel very at ease right away. He listened to our conversation and noted that we like local markets, so that was our last stop. And it was great! We enjoyed every aspect of the tour and Jorge's story of the places he has lived was so interesting.
We also especially enjoyed Jorge's choice of an ancient venue for a requested coffee stop. BTW the coffee was delicious!
We highly recommend Jorge as your Tallin guide!"
"We had a wonderful time touring with Jorge. He listened carefully to what we wanted to do and took us to many spots we would never have found on our own. He is also extremely well-versed in the history of Estonia and added greatly to our knowledge. I highly advise touring with him."
"My wife and I (English-speaking) booked this five-hour tour because we had limited time in the city but were very interested in its history, both medieval and modern.
Jorge surpassed any expectation we could have had. He had that Furkan Gokcel (IFYKYK) energy that we always hope for in a guide. We used every bit of five hours exploring noteworthy parks, monuments, and structures. He is extremely knowledgeable about history and culture. Jorge also helped us avoid the cruise ship crowds through careful timing and maneuvering.
We highly recommend this for a couple or group that values local insight & a historical lens on the city. "
"Wonderful, in depth tour of old town and newer modern area that has been renovated since Soviet collapse. Anna demonstrated detailed knowledge of the locations and people responsible. "
"We had a wonderful 5 hrs tour with Jorge- he immediately understood what we wanted to see and gave us an incredible tour of the City incorporating a lot of history, art, architecture and local culture. We walked, took the tram, went to old coffee shops even off the beaten track churches which we loved. His passion for history and exploring the world as well as his positive attitude was exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommended!!!!!"
