This guided bicycle tour is your one-stop-shop for discovering Tallinn on two wheels!

Your day tour kicks off at Kadriorg Palace and Park, a true icon of Tallinn. The palace, dating back to the early 18th Century, features a flamboyant facade in the Petrine Baroque style guaranteed to mesmerize - the scarlet, peach and white exterior blazes in the sunlight. Such a splendid palace could only have belonged to Peter the Great of Russia who had the palace built for his wife, Catherine, hence the translated name ‘Catherine’s Valley’. Pedal through the palatial park, with its phenomenal flowerbeds, dynamic fountains, and the magnificent ‘mirage garden’.

Your guided bike tour progresses to the Presidential Palace, sitting proudly in Kadriorg Park. The rose petal pink exterior and green roof makes this a truly memorable sightseeing destination in Tallinn and one of great political importance - the palace is the official residence of the President of Estonia!

Those of a musical mind will know that Estonia is home to one of the biggest collections of folk songs in the world - moving melodies and triumphant tunes flow through the lifeblood of Estonians, and they are delighted to share this sensory symbol of their heritage. Cycle into the Song Festival Grounds, site of the Estonian Song Festival, one of the largest choral events on the globe, as well as the Estonian Dance Festival. Here, Estonian heritage comes to life.

Next, enjoy a sublime cycle along the seaside promenade for a leisurely look at Tallinn’s stunning skyline before you enter the iconic Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, your guided day tour takes you to the highlights of Lower Town and Toompea Hill.

Discover the history of the Fat Margaret Tower, now home to the Estonian Maritime Museum, and of the Three Sisters, a triplet of three medieval trading houses. Ogle at the Oleviste Church, also known as St. Olaf’s Church, with its incredible 124 meter spire - an icon of the Tallinn cityscape. Cycle into the Square of Towers and feel like you’ve been transported back to medieval Estonia - here is where the cultural heritage of the city really comes alive! The terracotta turrets peering over Tallinn's medieval walls are an icon of Estonia’s capital not to be missed.

Your top-quality guided bike tour of Tallinn winds down in Town Hall Square, the beating heart of Tallinn and location for its marvelous markets. Taste the wares on the Tallinn Bike Tour with Market Visit and Food Tasting!
