Guided Tours

We offer guided architecture tours for visitors with special interest in Estonian architecture and built environment. We can take you to the hidden gems of Tallinn and show you the best of contemporary architecture in Tallinn, as well as historical architecture. We can also take you out of Tallinn, to other cities in Estonia or to visit architectural landmarks in rural areas.

Our professional tour guides speak Estonian, English, Russian, Finnish, German and French and all tours are tailor-made to fit the specific needs and interests of the group. Our tours can take you and your colleagues or friends to see both to the highlights or or off-the- beaten track locations either in Tallinn or elsewhere in Estonia.

Our tour guides are all people with passion for architecture – architects and landscape architects, architecture and art historians, people writing about architecture, urbanists.

All of them have been involved in either the researching, protecting, developing or designing the city space of Tallinn and other cities in Estonia – so there is plenty of insight and stories to share on top of the architectural knowledge.

Prices of our guided tours depend on the number of participants, chosen route and mode of transport – walking, biking, tour bus, etc. All tour can be fitted with coffee or lunch breaks. To book a tour email us at info@archtours.ee or give a call to +372 56 978 680
