Many strange and mysterious crimes have occurred in Helsinki: police murder, dictator's assassination, the mysterious death of a prostitute, etc.

This private summer tour takes you from Helsinki to Moomin World, Naantali, and the medieval city of Turku, Finland’s former capital and oldest city. We start with a drive to Naantali, a charming seaside town with colorful wooden houses. You’ll visit Moomin World, a real-life island inspired by Tove Jansson’s books. After that, enjoy a walk through Old Naantali, known for its peaceful 15th-century church and beautiful seaside paths. Then we continue to Turku, where you’ll visit the impressive Turku Castle, a real medieval fortress with towers, tunnels, and old stories. You’ll also see the Turku Cathedral, one of Finland’s most important churches. If the timing is right, we can stop at the Medieval Market, where people dress in old clothes, play music, and sell handmade goods - just like in the Middle Ages. ‍
