In the series, <b>Risto Lassila<\/b> introduces Finnish audiences to Tallinn\u2019s sights, services, food, and drink. A touch of humour and a personal angle are added to the travel stories. This approach gave rise to a new idea for a themed series that delves deeper into history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI suggested a collaboration with <b>Tapio M\u00e4kel\u00e4inen<\/b>, a longtime Estonia expert, tour guide, and author. That\u2019s how the new series \u2018Traveling with Tapio\u2019 was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In \u201cTraveling with Tapio\u201d, M\u00e4kel\u00e4inen takes viewers and listeners to Tallinn\u2019s museums, churches, and monuments. Along the way, the series introduces significant figures and events from Estonian history that contributed to the country\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-650x366.jpg 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-85x48.jpg 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-210x118.jpg 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tapio-ja-Hannele-web.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The series also includes guests who have a special relationship with Tallinn\u2014through their work, life, or personal interest.
