Highlights of our Estonia tours

Pirukas
You’ll find these little stuffed pastries in almost every traditional Estonian dish buffet. They’re likely to become your snack of choice on your Estonia tour.
Beetroot and Potato Salad (Rosolje)
A rainbow in a bowl, this traditional Estonian dish is a colourful mix of beets, potatoes, and herring fish (because, why not?). It’s the Estonian cuisine version of, "Let’s see what’s in the fridge!"
Kama
This mix of grains and peas is eaten with yoghurt and berries. It’s healthy, filling, and is the Estonian grandma’s traditional porridge.
Blood Sausage (Verivorst)
Regular sausage? Not here. The national dish of Estonia is a perfect winter staple and is paired with cranberry sauces. It’s a staple Estonian food.
Sprat Sandwich
This open-faced sandwich with sprats (tiny fish) is piled high & often the champion of Estonian breakfasts. Don’t knock it till you try it!

Estonia now uses the Euro, after ditching the Kroon back in 2011.

When is the best time to visit Estonia?

Estonia’s weather can be a bit of a wildcard. Winters are chilly and snowy with temps between -7 and 2°C , perfect for cosying up by a fire. And summers are mild & sunny, with temps ranging from 10-17°C. Just remember to pack layers and get an umbrella.

What is the tipping etiquette in Estonia?

Tipping isn’t expected, but if the service knocks your socks off, 5-10% is a nice gesture. Just round up the bill or leave a few extra euros, and your waiter will likely give you a friendly Estonian nod.
