Medieval tour of Tallinn Old Town with a grand feast at Maikrahv!
There’s always a reason to celebrate, doesn’t matter if it’s the Middle Ages or today! Alongside Christmas, one of the more important celebrations in medieval Tallinn was Pentecost, a summer celebration with the choosing of the May Count. We’ll be no different when we celebrate summer’s victory over the winter and head to Tallinn Old Town to choose our own May Count! On this tour we’ll take a peek into the brighter side of medieval city life, talk about holidays and how they were celebrated. And we won’t just talk, we’ll have a taste - the tour ends with a medieval style feast in Maikrahv restaurant right on the Town Hall Square.
The excursion starts at Väike Rannavärav (Uus Street 37), where there is convenient parking available for those who need it. The hike lasts about 1.5 hours, during which we’ll cover approximately 3–4 km. At the end of the walk, we’ll enjoy a medieval-style dinner at Maikrahv!
The tour price includes a shared medieval dinner with non-alcoholic beverages.
For appetizers, we’ll be served roast beef and mango salad, salmon rolls with herb cottage cheese filling, fresh salad with tomatoes and marinated cucumbers. For the main course we’ll be treated to a royal ham hock, grilled chicken in red wine sauce a la Alderman, roasted potatoes with herbs and a vegetable stew. And for dessert, a crème brûlée with berry sauce and cinnamon syrup-stewed pear.
Please note: when booking a private tour, catering is not included in the tour price, and the menu shown is only an example. The meal must be arranged separately in advance with Jaanika, the hostess of Maikrahv Restaurant, at jaanika@maikrahv.ee

"I’m one of those who has always dreamed of a truly remarkable birthday. Not the usual sit-around-the-table kind, but one that offers genuinely memorable experiences. Ideally something unexpected and exciting, so that even years later everyone would fondly remember, “Wow, that was amazing!” I soon realized that Matkafy Laternamatkad ticks every box on my wish list. Even though there are 55 different tours on the adventure list, I never hesitated to take my friends to the abandoned Murru prison, exploring the buildings and area where the saying truly fits: “If these walls could talk…” How often in life do you get the chance to walk among apocalyptic walls and experience the real stories hidden inside? When this long-awaited day finally arrived, I couldn’t hide my excitement and thrill. Everything was perfectly planned. Our guide Mihkel Reile received nothing but praise from the guests: “So humorous!”, “So knowledgeable!”, “Easily captures everyone’s attention”, “Where did they find such a charming guy?”, “Wow, how clearly and engagingly he tells stories!” In addition, for this tour that exceeded all expectations, a romantic birthday table was set up in a quiet wooded corner, tailored exactly to my wishes. This was the best birthday of my life! Honestly. A unique and adventurous tour, perfectly suited for any celebration and season."
