This private tour is perfect for anyone seeking a luxury tour of Helsinki and Estonia that combines the best of the region's cuisine, design, contemporary culture and more.
Begin in Helsinki, Finland's dynamic waterfront capital. During flexible touring with your own private guide, experience the best of the city's lively culture, interesting architecture and excellent museums. Visit Temppeliaukio, the famed "Rock Church" hewn from solid stone. Tour outdoor markets, indoor food halls, historic squares and the Kamppi Chapel of Silence, and see landmark buildings such as Finlandia Hall, the Railway Station and the Olympic Stadium. Drive along the coast to see beautiful historic villas and the impressive Sibelius Monument, which is dedicated to Finland's most beloved composer. Artisans of Leisure will arrange for you to have a private tour of the Alvar Aalto House, the home of the most important Finnish architect of the 20th century. If desired, also visit the nearby Studio Aalto. There will also be time to visit renowned cafes and Finnish design shops along Esplanadi Park in central Helsinki. Other touring options include the Arabia Porcelain Factory, the Design District, art museums such as Kiasma and Ateneum, Kaivopuisto Park and Seurasaari Open-Air Museum.
One day, enjoy a scenic ferry ride through the Helsinki Archipelago to Suomenlinna, a beautiful island and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Continue by ferry across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, the enchanting capital of Estonia. Enjoy private touring of the fairy-tale Old Town: the medieval jewel of Estonia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a local insider, walk the narrow streets, admire ancient churches and merchant houses, gaze up at the imposing city walls, and take in spectacular views over the walled city and waterfront from Toompea hill. Also explore the open-air market, browse for beautiful Estonian textiles and crafts, and visit the city's fashionable cafes and boutiques. Venture outside the Old Town to see the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. Also explore leafy Kadriorg Park, a favorite area for locals that includes Kadriorg Palace, historic wooden houses, the Kumu Art Museum and other sights.
Next, venture to rural Muhu Island to stay two nights at a luxurious manor hotel, the finest resort in the region. During private touring, experience traditional Estonian life and culture in the villages and countryside around Muhu and neighboring Saaremaa Island. Also enjoy the hotel's expansive grounds, excellent food and postcard views of the Baltic Sea.
