Off the tourist trail

Story behind Food Sightseeing Estonia
Food Sightseeing Estonia was created by Paul from the belief that food is the most honest way to understand a place.
As guides and locals, the team recognised that Estonia’s culinary culture was evolving quickly, yet many visitors were missing it by sticking to conventional tourist routes.
By combining food, history and everyday life, they built a format that allows travellers to connect directly with local producers, chefs and communities.

We had the best time on the food tour with Paul. We learned so much about the history of Tallinn/Estonia as a whole and it was really insightful. It was also great to try so many delicious foods - we were absolutely stuffed by the end! We have never done a food tour before and weren't sure what to expect but it was so good and we would recommend to anyone visiting Tallinn.

We had an unforgettable full-day trip to Laheema National Park with Paul! Our journey began in Tallinn's Old Town and took us through breathtaking stops, including stunning waterfalls, a historic captain's village, and a charming fishing village. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch at a seaside family restaurant. Paul's deep knowledge and passion for the region, along with his excellent English, made the experience even more enriching. The countryside was beautiful, and we would highly recommend this tour over and over! The 7-seater minivan was in excellent condition, and Paul’s expertise truly shone throughout the day.
