Dirhami and Estonian Swedes - a minority group dear to us!

Estonians haven't easily accepted minority populations in their country. The Estonian Swedes, however, are an exception. We always speak well of them and feel regret that the centuries-old population faded in the turmoil of World War II. Who knows, if we could, we would even make room for them once more. But who were the Estonian Swedes? Why do we hold them in such high regard? Where did they come from and what kind of life did they live? All of it is explored on this tour. Naturally, we’re visiting the Estonian Swedes’ native settlements - the villages of Spithami and Dirhami. The region has breathtakingly beautiful pine forests and seemingly boundless sandy beaches. This is a wonderful nature and history tour with fascinating topics.

"I would like to give a big shout-out to Mihkel for yesterday’s tour at Fahle City! ❤️ I think the biggest compliment I can give is that it went exactly the way I had imagined and hoped it would 😊 It was truly great — pleasantly humorous, informative, well-paced and perfectly on schedule. We have also received very positive initial feedback from our people. On top of that, quite a few people said they would love to organize a Matkafy Lantern Hike for their own team event and that they are even going to take a look at what other exciting tours you offer. 😉So, I am extremely happy and would like to thank Mihkel once again for the excellent cooperation!"
