Things to note

1. If time does not work for you, please write me a message and ask whether it's possible to have a tour at another time. We also have an audio version of our tour available in English.
2. The most emotional thing in Estonia is the weather! Even If weather doesn't look fine, please bring an umbrella or raincoat to save you from rain.
Please come around 5 minutes before the tour starts. Thanks!
3. If you're a curious child keen on Tartu's history, we can only tour if you bring an accompanying adult!
