Ghost Tour for Kids — 5 Friendly Ghosts

The Ghost Tour for Kids is a family experience in Tallinn Old Town. Walk with me for 1 hour as I introduce children to 5 friendly ghosts — the stories are funny, not scary, suitable from age 6.

Did you know that Noel, the Christmas elf, has some very special friends in Tallinn’s Old Town? They aren’t your ordinary friends—they are ghosts who have lived here for centuries!

Each ghost has their own unique way of showing themselves. Some step unexpectedly right out of the thick limestone walls, while others peer at passersby from colorful graffiti. They might give you a gentle pinch or a soft pat on the shoulder. Even though some of them might seem a little scary at first glance, they are all truly kind and friendly at heart.

Would you like to meet my friends? I can show you where they live and tell you what happened to them before they became ghosts. And, of course, I’ll teach you how real haunting is actually done!

This playful, ghostly adventure tour is suitable for children of all ages.

A Christmas Adventure for Kids — Magical Old Town Tour

A Christmas Adventure for Kids is a family tour in Tallinn Old Town at Christmas time. Walk with me through the Old Town, I show the children the most magical spots and at the end we meet Santa himself.

I am Noel, the Christmas elf, and I have a secret for you—I have been living in Tallinn’s Old Town since long before there was a single fortress on Toompea Hill! Even though in human years I am older than your great-great-great-great-great-grandmother and grandfather combined, in the elf world, I am still just a young little sprout. Just about exactly your age, my little friend!

Since quite a bit of time has passed since I was born, my family can’t actually remember when that important event—my arrival into the world—exactly took place. But just so all my relatives can feel like they are the ones who remember the true day I was born, I celebrate my birthday every single day.

During my short life as a Christmas elf, I have seen quite a few things happen here in Tallinn. For instance, do you know how the elf hat actually got its colors? (No connection to Coca-Cola whatsoever, but rather to our lovely Tallinn!) Or who I fly around with when Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer is facing the busiest time of the year, but I still need to deliver a treat into your slipper? Or why it is so important to do good deeds?

Sometimes, the Christmas spirit likes to play hide-and-seek, tucking itself away inside one of Tallinn’s wall towers or down a narrow archway. But I know every single one of those hiding spots! And don’t you worry—as an elf, I can spin Christmas tales even in the middle of summer. I don’t hibernate during the warmer months; instead, I stay busy and bustle about our Old Town all year round.
