MEET YOUR GUIDE
Tour guide, Tallinn, Estonia
Hello!, I am Gbemi Kadri. I have lived in Estonia for eight years, and I fell in love with Tallinn Old Town the moment I started exploring it. I love the beauty of old Tallinn and I love that its history has been kept alive for so many centuries. As you can see I am standing right in front of maybe the most controversial building in Tallinn this beautiful Orthodox church called Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Want to know why? I will tell you when we get here.
I would be happy to show you this beautiful city, and I am excited to meet you. Think of me as the friend you have in Tallinn that can't wait to show you around the city.

“Our guide went above and beyond!”
This tour was wonderful! We got a comprehensive history of Tallinn through visiting Old Town attractions and gained insights and information that would have been impossible to achieve on our own. I especially enjoyed learning about the legends and superstitions. Our guide Kadri was extremely knowledgeable, patient, flexible and friendly and she truly went above and beyond. She is an amazing story teller and helped us imagine life as it was hundreds of years ago.

Amazing walk tour. Just like walking the city with a friend except she teaches you about the city. I learned so much and saw so many beautiful places that other guides don't take you too.

This was the second free walking tour in Tallinn and this one was by far the best. The guide, Kadri, spoke really good English and told us a lot of fun details about Tallinn as well as some good restaurant tips. Thank you Kadri!

“Fun Day in Talinn”
I enjoyed my day with the tour guide Gbemi Kadri - she made the medieval commentaries interesting and was very patient with my questions as well. She was not particular about finishing on the dot especially as it started raining towards the end. Highly recommended.

“Walking tour of Tallinn”
Mbemi was a great tour guide. Sorry, didn’t catch her full name. Very funny and patient. Gave enough talk for a walking tour and also guided us to do things on our own after the tour. Spent more time than we expected. Was worth every minute.
