Mustamäe and the dealers of Kadaka market!
Hard to believe, but true - as the famous lyrics by Voldemar Kuslap say, living in Mustamäe was extremely prestigious in the 1960s and 70s. It's also had some time in the spotlight even later. It's not a huge exaggeration to say that in the 90s, the Kadaka market was Tallinn's biggest tourist attraction, at least for Finnish tourists. On this tour, we will travel through the daily life of that era, guided by the memories of the dealers of the Kadaka market. Naturally we'll also take a look at Mustamäe's more distant past, talking about the village of Kadaka, the market gardens, and Mustamäe as a Soviet-era technology hub.

"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."
