Tallinn Estonia
 

Arriving on cruise ship to port Tallinn will we need transportaion to old town?

Assuming the cruise ship arrives at the same port as the ferry from Helsinki that I took, you can walk. It is uphill. Maybe 1 mile?
There are taxis if you need one and some buses that run to hotels and shopping centers near the old town.

with a walk of 10 minutes you're in the Tallinn old town.

Tallinn is a very beautiful city

I do believe we walked, but caught a taxi back. Beautiful city, very worthwhile. We lunched there after visiting St. Petersburg. It is a hilly town, so catching a shuttle to/fro might help save your energy for the town.

I took the shuttle bus from the ferry, but I had luggage. Still, shuttling at least one way would make sense if there is one available.

As others have noted, it not a far walk from where the ship docks and to the old town and once you get there it is pretty hilly in certain areas.

The cruise ships usually offer a shuttle service to/from the ship for a fee.
