HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this VLOG we take a medieval tour of Tallinn Old Town with a local guide called Koit, who we contacted through the tourist information centre and arranged a private tour.
The story of the medieval time in Tallinn (originally named Reval) is told as we walk along seeing all the scenic views of this incredible historic part of Tallinn in the sunshine!
If you are interested in attending this tour & want to learn more please see: www.talesofrev...
*Although Tallinn is in lockdown due to covid-19, there is still freedom to be outside and the restrictions are now starting to lift as more places open.
TKT tip/fact: If you want an authentic and fun way to learn about the beautiful old town of Tallinn, take a tour with one of the guides but also make time to wonder around some of the tiny cobbled streets as well and you’ll find yourself some true gems of places to eat and drink along the way.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this RUclips channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on all our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

That was the funniest history lesson I have ever had, if all covid time education lessons are like this I'm going back to school. Well done very interesting
Lynne Lloyd-Williams it was a lot of fun learning about it! 😂
Makes me proud to be Estonian haha
Great tour two thumbs up 👍👍
We’re pleased you liked it😊
As someone who nerds out over history when I travel, it was so cool to see such an in-depth tour of the city! What an interesting history! Thank you for sharing it, guys! Koit looked like an awesome tour guide
He was the best! I love History too, he put an extra fun spin on it though😆
This was such a good history lesson. I'd definitely take this tour if I get to Estonia one day.
You guys are so entertaining. Also great lesson
Thank you 😊
Your tour guide is such a character, love it! So nice to have your own private tour 😊
Being Bedingfield he was such great fun! Really unique tour having our own guide and the city so quiet, never had a tour like it, that’s why we thought we’d share it, already the city feels different from a few weeks ago!
Tide Knot Travellers when will the borders open again? 😬
what a fun guide!! we love charming old towns that have history like these - awesome video you guys :)
Hangry Abroad thank you! This city has plenty of charm for sure😊 charmed us after the first day here into making it our new home for a while!
I loved watching this video! Your tour guide was so enthusiastic! I was lol'ing about how the "cats improve water quality"
Extravellganza yeh that story had us lol’ing too! 😆 he was a great tour guide, we would recommend this tour to everyone!
It felt like we did the whole tour with you! What a cool guide you had, he is so much fun! He lives through the stories he tells hahaha it looks so beautiful!
We loved this guide! Such a great style of travel vlog!
Steve and Shelb thank you, it was a very different style of vlog for us but we really wanted to share this unique tour with everyone😊
It looks so beautiful there! I LOVE the Medieval guy!!! Looked like a great tour 😊💙
The Reval etymology is just a known folk etymology though. The name preceded Danish rule and the ancient Estonian county was named Revala county. It most likely comes from the word "raba" (bog).
What an amazing tour guide! I hope you tipped him handsomely cos he was phenomenal! Thank you for the amazing video!
We sure did, this was a great day after months of lockdown and no one seeing anyone, so glad Koit was as excited as we were to be there! He’s the best guide ever!
Hey you two! Very informative vlog. Your tour guides outfit really adds to the experience! Your gracious and elegant walking was entertaining too:) I enjoyed seeing all the different buildings.
He was very authentic!
haha what a lovely video!! great tour and I loved seeing all the different buildings :) would love to connect :)

Elizabeth Prescott he was great! 🤣
Ahh, you guys are so much fun! I love your videos. What a great idea to be able to do during isolation times. Especially while there are so few people around, what a great way to see the city! It is so beautiful.
Great video! Can't wait to see more adventures, I hope you are coping okay and things are starting to improve over there!
Flight of the Fox - Aussie Travel Couple thank you! Yes it was great to have this tour during such a uniquely quiet time for the city! Already now it is getting busier and the main square looks different. We are keeping well and enjoying each little bit of freedom as this crazy world lockdown slowly eases. Hope you’re well too! 😊
Nice video 😃💪
Thank you 😊
Amazingly, I didn't know there was such an attractive guide in our small town.
I'm sure he'd be really pleased to hear this! 😊
Great entertainment. What a brilliant guide, loved the name check. Thanks guys! You're getting well practiced at this now, well done! Stay safe!
He was a great guide! You’d have loved all his jokes☺️
Koit is cool old Estonian name! It means sunrise!

Fantastic. Great guide and learnt so much
He's still the best guide we've ever met!

Mumsku Mansikka yes, we know the Tallinn secrets now! 😆
This is proper wholesome travel, I love it! I loved this tour and appreciate the passion Koit had in sharing his knowledge 🧡🧡🧡🧡
He is the best tour guide!
@@TideKnotTravellers I bet he'll gets a lot of requests when travel reopens!!
Hey guys, absolutely brilliant video, I'm SUPER happy you did as I am here in Tallinn now. Here for work (well later on) but everything is locked down so I don't think I can get this tour, I've walked the city but this made it alive, so THANK YOU! great guide 10 out of 5!
Thank you, our pleasure! you may be able to call them and get a socially distanced tour, that's how we arranged this one (via the tourist info website)
I heard the opened the borders between Estonia Latvia and Lithuania again and keeping them as a big bubble of three countries...so maybe you could use Tallinn as home base and just go back to the other two country’s and explore
Haha I’ve done a tour like that ...so good
Yes we saw they had done this, the ‘Baltic bubble’ may just hire a car and as you say go back and explore some more!
Tide Knot Travellers great idea ...Lithuania is amazing they have the most gorgeous national parks
@@sallymay24 But Estonia is only of the bunch who has islands 🤣
@@sallymay24 Have You seen Latvian National Parks then? I think they Are amazing too, like Gauja National Park, close to Riga including castles and a lot of different entertainment posibilities and surroundied with small beautiful medival cities like Sigulda, Cesis etc.
@@BradGrassforest what you mean by that?
the guy was very entertaining ! but the cat story was terrifying !!
Paulina R Travels yeh, couldn’t throw a cat in a well! 😅
@@TideKnotTravellers so what you are saying is '' no cats here harmed while filming this video '' :D
Paulina R Travels exactly🤣 couldn’t even put an imaginary one in!
@@TideKnotTravellers LOL!
The most famous Estonian movie with english subtitles: The Last Relic - Viimne reliikvia Tallinnfilm 1969: ruclips.net/video/Z93kjIeaiYU/видео.html Pirita Monastry as a main architecturical hero , monastry ruins are in Tallinn. Monastry makett was built in Virtsu peninsula between junipers and Pirita monastry inside scenes took part in Niguliste Church burned ruins in that time 1969. 1944 in march Niguliste Church burned after bombing . Now Niguliste Church is renovated and is in use as the concert hall. Every weekend are the organ concerts there. Some scenes in The Old Town of Tallinn and in Kuressaare Castle , on the island of Saareemaa and in Taevaskoja , Põlva County - South -Estonia.
.
Monastery is a convent for monks, hence the name monastery. St Birgitta was an order of nuns, hence nunnery. Just saying ...
@@RodneyEnt Thanks for answer. That's correct.
What a great video. I'll visit Tallinn in two weeks and I'm curious whether I can get a guide like him. But: You should level out your sound in a better way. The music blows off your ears and when you then turn down the volume, you don't understand the voice comments.
Thank you, all the guides are great and passionate (we met most of them during our time) but you could ask for Koit in the tourist information just off of town hall square. Thank you for the feedback about the sound, we have adjusted the volume in our more recent videos so hopefully that issue is resolved. Enjoy Tallinn it's so beautiful!
Such a fun video and so much history, I came across this channel and I would love to connect and support each other.
TMA. Italia Travel we both already are😊
i really want to visit estonia 💅
lovely video guys...you did very well during isolation. Did you want to be friends and help each other grow ?
Aquarius Traveller thanks! We’ll go check out your channel now😊
@@TideKnotTravellers 😁✌
Very good time with him , I want sweet 👍👍
He is a great tour guide! 😊
People have gotten much taller in just my lifetime. When I was a young man, I was considered tall because 5 foot 8 inches was an average height for a man and I was taller than that. Now I am considered average height or even short. Two things are substantially bigger in Millennials than they were in the parents or grandparents time. The first is feet. Peoples' feet today are huge compared to sizes from 50 years ago. No one 50 years ago would have had size 12 or 13 feet, even if they were relatively tall. And the second thing is the increasing height. I have read studies that says what accounts for that is not necessarily an improved diet; it is an altered diet meaning more meats are eaten containing growth hormone. And I am sure there is a lot of truth to that. People today look like monsters. A good example is Queen Elizabeth. When she was a young woman she was not abnormally short. She fit in well in size with ladies of her generation; but now the Queen looks like a dwarf compared to females like Michelle Obama or Melania Trump.
Ainuke eestlane siin kommentaarides-the only estonian in these comments (translation)
sorry cant listen that, guys joking manner of story telling is so awfull i cant stand more than 5 mins of this.
sarcasm?
just one thing....the music ....the volume difference i have to keep adjusting my volume in between cause its too loud or i cant hear you at all
Thank you so much for the feedback😊 do you watch on a TV as we have tested our more recent videos on a TV vs laptop or mobile device and the sound is so different on each, we are trying to get it just right to fit all.
