What to expect
Helsinki
Our private tour begins in Helsinki, where your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel around 9:00. After a 2-hour drive through southern Finland, we arrive in Tampere, home to the world’s only official Moomin Museum.
Tampere
Visit the world’s only official Moomin Museum in Tampere. Explore original drawings by Tove Jansson, detailed dioramas, and a towering 5-storey model of the Moominhouse. Your guide will walk you through the exhibition and share behind-the-scenes stories of Tove's creative world. Optional: Sketching corner, museum shop, or a short break at the in-house café. Depending on your preferences and timing, we can make brief visits to Tampere's top sights: Tampere Cathedral with its unique frescoes, Finlayson old industrial area for a glimpse into Finnish history, or Pyynikki Observation Tower (with donut café!) for scenic city views.
Helsinki
After we return from the Moomin Museum in Tampere, we go for a relaxed walking tour in Helsinki to see special places connected to Tove Jansson’s life. These are not typical tourist spots — they are real places where she lived, studied, played as a child, worked as an artist, and walked by the sea. We will see her childhood home, her art studio, statues made by her father (with Tove as the model), her school, the harbor where she used to skate, and the park named after her. Your guide will tell short stories at each place so you get to know who Tove was, not only as the creator of the Moomins, but as a real person. It’s like walking through her memories.
Wrap up the tour at the official Moomin Shop in central Helsinki. Here you can browse through exclusive Moomin-themed gifts, books, design items, and collector’s editions — perfect as a memory from your journey.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
