An afternoon stroll through old town Copenhagen - Jens was knowledgeable and engaging. It was wonderful to talk with a native from Copenhagen with such a vast understanding of the culture and people. We especially enjoyed his recollections as we walked through various parts of old town. We finished the afternoon off with a beautiful spread of cakes and hot chocolate at La Glacé.

Brilliant tour of Copenhagen - Excellent tour, would highly recommend! Very informative about Copenhagen, in particular its history, and I felt as though we covered lots without it feeling rushed. Our guide Jens was fascinating to listen to - his knowledge was incredibly deep and you didn’t feel like you were listening to someone reading from a script, which made this an enjoyable experience as well as an informative one.

Enlightening walking tour - The guide was very knowledgeable about Danish history and culture and about the landmark’s we visited. He also spoke about how the city has transformed since its founding. I enjoyed the small size of the group and how the guide engaged us in conversation about what we encountered. Highly recommend as a way to see historically relevant sites and learn about the city.

If you’re new to Copenhagen, this tour is a must! - I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an introduction into all things Copenhagen. Our tour guide, Jens, had a wealth of knowledge - both on copenhagen and general world history and his stories and facts really brought Copenhagen and the sights to life! The tour covered most of the main sights and any questions we had, Jens was able to answer and more!

Great experience with Nick - Nick was a great guide, very entertaining and added a personal perspective which was very interesting. Also, we had an incorrect expectation and Nick immediately made it possible for us to see a fun location not within easy walking distance, which we didn't know. After arranging for a taxi to the location, he also made sure the taxi got us to a great location for dinner choices. Nick was a lot of fun, as well as a wealth of information.

Phenomenal Tour - Our tour was phenomenal ! We were expecting a small group but it ended up being just 2 of us. Our guide was born and raised in Copenhagen and knew the entire history. We learned about all the Christian and Frederick kings, toured the city highlights, saw the changing of the guards (in the perfect location) and fell in love with this city. We will be back.

Informative and Interesting Couple of Hours - We were very fortunate on our walk to see the king drive past on his way to the opening of Parliament. The guide was very enthusiastic and informative. He timed the walk to end with the opportunity to view the changing of the guards ceremony at the Amalienborg Palace.

Good tour of the city - Saw the back streets and history of the town which you would not have seen if you had just followed a map.
