• Helsinki - The private tour kicks off in Helsinki, where the guide and driver will collect guests from their hotel around 9:00 AM. After a scenic 2-hour drive through southern Finland, the tour arrives in Tampere, home to the world’s only official Moomin Museum.
• Tampere - Discover the world’s only official Moomin Museum in Tampere. Guests can explore original drawings by Tove Jansson, intricate dioramas, and a magnificent 5-storey model of the Moominhouse. The guide will lead the tour through the exhibition, sharing fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of Tove’s creative universe. Optional activities include a sketching corner, museum shop, or a brief pause at the in-house café. Depending on preferences and schedule, brief visits to Tampere’s top attractions can be arranged:

Tampere Cathedral with its unique frescoes,

Finlayson old industrial area for a glimpse into Finnish history, or

• Helsinki - Upon returning from the Moomin Museum in Tampere, enjoy a leisurely walking tour in Helsinki to explore special locations connected to Tove Jansson’s life. These are not typical tourist spots — they are authentic places where she lived, studied, played as a child, worked as an artist, and strolled by the sea.

The tour includes her childhood home, her art studio, statues created by her father (with Tove as the model), her school, the harbor where she skated, and the park named after her. The guide will share short stories at each location, offering insights into Tove’s life, not only as the creator of the Moomins but as a real person.

It’s like walking through her memories.

• Moomin Shop - Conclude the tour at the official Moomin Shop in central Helsinki. Here, guests can browse through exclusive Moomin-themed gifts, books, design items, and collector’s editions — perfect mementos from the journey.
