Ancient Hanseatic town Tallinn holds its charm with narrow cobblestone streets, red tile roofs, medieval gothic style houses and the pride of being called the best-preserved old town in Northern Europe. The tour enables you to take a good look at the picturesque Lower Town, the fortified Town Wall with many towers.

The fascinating walls of the old town remind us of the middle ages. The numerous towers each have their own history and the unique name. The most famous of those are "Paks Margareeta" (Fat Margaret), Kiek in de Kök (look into the kitchen), Tower behind the tower and many others. Tallinn is one of the very few towns with that large number of the middle age constructions preserved.
