Noblessner, Volta and Krulli Machine Factory!

Oh, the wonderful Noblessner district - we all know it! But do you also know that it was originally a submarine factory? Okay, but what about the once great electrical industry of Volta and Kalamaja's last functioning large-scale factory, Tallinn's Machine factory, located right next door? It is the stories of these three factories that are the focus of this tour. But not only that, we also look around the far side of Kalamaja and search for the last undeveloped corners of this settlement. PS! In our stories, in addition to well-known history, we also rely on original material - the memories of long-term employees!

"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."
