Things to Do in Tallinn
Tallinn is a city of stories, and at Tales of Reval, we bring them to life. Step into the past and experience the medieval charm of the Old Town through immersive storytelling and humour.
As we enter our 7th season, we take pride in what we have built. We don’t just guide - we create memories. Our excellent reviews reflect the care we put into every tour.
Whether you are a first-time visitor or a returning guest, we invite you to explore Tallinn with us and see why Tales of Reval has become a favorite among those who value authenticity, history, and a touch of playfulness.
NB! Tales of Reval is a company. Cedric is our figurehead on pictures - but our talented storytelling team also includes Gregorius, Wilhelm, and Nicole. Look for your guide dressed in authentic medieval attire.
