Oh, what a Tallinn-tastrophe it was! Picture this: a frosty October day, yours truly, a sprightly 70-year-old adventurer, eagerly waiting for the hop-on-hop-off bus in Tallinn. But wait, and wait, and wait I did, until my patience froze over faster than Elsa's castle. As I stood there, feeling older than the medieval walls of Tallinn, I could've sworn I overheard my lower back having a heated debate with my L5S1 discs – apparently, they had some "bracket-busting" issues of their own. I must admit, I've never seen my left foot look so rebellious, too! It's not a proper vacation unless you bring back a souvenir ache or two, right? In a desperate search for assistance, I dialed the number for City Sightseeing, hoping to find a sympathetic savior. But instead of a knight in a thermal cape, I got what felt like a callous firing squad commander on the other end. "Oh, it was canceled," he said as if he was talking about a TV show, not my chilly ordeal! Well, folks, it turns out they had already informed the local handlers about the cancellation, but no one thought to give me the memo. Did they miss the Customer Service 101 class at "Sightseeing University"? So, on that fateful 31st of October, I mustered the courage to request a refund. The email exchange that followed felt like a rollercoaster ride – one moment, they told me no refund was coming because I failed to cancel in time, and the next moment, they had the generosity to announce that my refund was en route. It was like playing a never-ending game of "Hello, Dear Customer." But wait, there's more! When I called to vent my frustration at the tourist office in the Old City, they revealed that they too had spoken to City Sightseeing that very day. Another dissatisfied customer had complained, and they were told there would be no more tours until the New Year! It's almost like City Sightseeing and I were starring in a comedy – "Carry On Sightseeing" – a film full of misadventures, misunderstandings, and missed buses. So, if you're ever planning a trip to Tallinn and want a dash of drama with your sightseeing, give City Sightseeing a try. It's like an amusement park, only colder and with more back pain. Who needs roller coasters when you can experience the thrill of booking mix-ups and mysterious refund policies? All aboard the "Carry On Sightseeing" adventure! 🚌❄️🙃

Sorry, not worth the money. A Bolt taxi (or a walk) to a few main attractions would have made much more sense. First of all, the time schedule is confusing as it changes if it’s a cruise day. We couldn’t find any information whether it was one or not. Well, it turns out it was one. The bus was delayed and full. The young lady selling tickets on the pavement tried to answer everyone’s questions and told us there would be another bus, but she was not sure what time. We got on the bus. The top floor was full so we had to sit inside. The view wasn’t clear and the middle passage was blocked by wheel chairs and baby strollers. Their was no Aircon and windows didn’t open The audio was audible, but honestly quite boring - and not always in sync with the actually attractions. A few passengers gave up and took their earphones off. Speaking of earphones, no collected used sets for recycling. 😢 No passengers hopped off, except for a few ones going back to their cruise ship. All in all, ridiculously over-priced, understaffed for a very limited experience.

There are two bus companies for hop-on hop-off in Tallin, Estonia. They are similar in grade of confusion. We took “sightseeing” and the experience was not very good. I suggest to take Red Buses, a true international company. Sightseeing has only 2 buses apparently! For 25 Euros is not worth it. Choose red buses instead.

We thought that both bus tours were good value for money, the information was very interesting and we noticed quite a lot of different languages available. The weather was lovely for the open top, but if it rains the top can be closed. The bus could not go into the centre of town as it is mostly pedestrianised, but the tour gives you good ideas of where to visit . We enjoyed the tour and would definitely use city sight seeing tours again when we travel to other places.

This was a great way to see the city especially in the rain. Audio was perfect. Staff were friendly. Maybe in the future they could have a stop closer to the old town square for us who are old but over all it was wort the money

Having used Hop on Hop off before and found them great and decent value . This experience was a little flat , Tallin is a small place and the Red route took little under an hour to get around the stops . Now fair enough its winter and quiet but the Green route there was only 1 service and that offers little more . The public transport system is cheaper and better . Information given on bus was also canned and dull sorry but needs to be better and longer for money in my opinion. Buy a day ticket or smart card to see same site for a third of price

Still my kind of tour when I have little time to go sightseeing. There is a stop at the city harbor which is not close to the historic center so that made the Hop On Hop Off option quite handy as we were on a cruise.

Good way to see the city and history before deciding what to explore in detail. Also good for a cold or rainy day activity if you stay on the bus. It is a short tour compared with other cities, and it does not go into the old part of the city as it is pedestrian only. You can start the tour on any stops on the way. (It also has a stop at the Cruise terminal.) Tickets can be bought on the bus. Senior discounts are offered.

Good for convenience when on a cruise and you only have a few hours Used it whilst on our Baltic cruise as the bus was at the port and we had limited time. However most of the sites of beautiful Tallin are in the old town where the bus cannot go So we saw the port area and the new areas of Tallin and the old walled town from the outside but to see the best of Tallin you need to walk the streets. Not the worst, they were as frequent as they advertised, and not the best

I have been on hop-on hop-off bus tours in many cities, and generally love them. This was not one. First of all the bus does not go through the old , very charming part of town, it goes first out to the middle of nowhere, then skirts around the town and you have to get off and walk yourself into town, which you could have done from the start. There is no reason to use this tour. On top of that, it was sweltering hot (with the outside temp of 68) smelly (of diesel), and extremely slow. Just don’t do it.

The good thing about Tallinn hop on hop off is that you can ride the 3 lines as you wish and enter any of the buses. Generally the buses are VERY very slow and the bus driver on our bus was unhelpful and quite rude actually. Tallinn can be seen by foot because it is a compact city and it does not pay off to take this bus. Unless you want to see some museums that are outside of the city.

Used this service while on a recent Baltic cruise. As we only had a few hours in port we just needed a quick overview of the city. We did one of the routes that lasted about an hour. .

The staff were friendly and the seats were actually fairly comfy but the tour is a little repetative and dull. The pace i suspect due to traffic was actually quite fast and like many things here geared up around the many cruise and ferry passengers. We did the old town and green line and i think we visited the ports three of 4 times and sat there quite a while which was a bit repetitive. The commentary is fine and theres a good choice of languages. That seats are comfy but the suspension on the bus wasnt great and so if you are sensitve bumps I wouldnt try and do this all at once. I have done a lot of these tours and just done one in helsinki. Id say this was ok but not the best I had done. However it is probably consteained by the traffic systems. It does what it needs which is show you around tallin quickly and easily. Highlights was tv tower and seaplane muesum. Decent views of fat margarits tower also. Also nice trip through the forrest and past the sea. Drawback was the pace, and time spent going to ferry and cruise terminals.

Avoid this company! The bus didn't follow the published schedule. The driver informed us that the afternoon green route bus wasn't running. Very disappointed as we paid for a hop on/off servise but only had one trip half way around the red circuit due to the limied service provided. We saw many, many buses from the other hop on, hop off company regularly around throughout the day and were so disappointed we had picked City Sight seeing. How can this be a gop on and off service when it does one lap off the green route each day! The bus is also very loud upstairs and the window panels don't feel safe or stable.

We decided to go to Tallinn after reading about it in one of the Telegraph paper offers. A lovely city to wander around, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Everything close by. Maritime museum is well worth a look, as was the Telecom Tower (Bus 34A). KGB museum was an eye opener into the countries history. Prices similar to Krakow and Prague. The hotel was 66 euro per night, right in the port area. Two full days was enough. Best retaurant was in Hotel Schlossle.
