Additional Information

Explore the city from a local’s perspective. No rigid itinerary to follow; tailor the tour to your preferences or let the local guide give you a unique introduction to the city. Traveling is about the people you connect with, not just the sights you visit. Ditch the ordinary historical walks with our tours and see the city through the lens of a local. Take part in a tour that shifts the focus of traveling; it’s as much about the ones you meet as the places you check out. Our local envoys (Lokafyers) have a deep passion for their city and can’t wait to share their understanding and viewpoint. As Lokafyers aren’t full-time guides and only offer tours now and then, they provide you a genuine and personal experience, much like a friend taking you around their city. By the time the tour ends, you’ll be at ease navigating the city, confident that you have all the essential knowledge to make your stay unforgettable.

Lokafy tours provide a general overview of the city with practical information from a local’s perspective, not detailed historical facts
In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)

Great private tour - Facundo was a great guide for my son and myself. He really packed a lot into 3 hours. He is an energetic guy and has an interesting background himself having lived in Argentina and Italy before Denmark. He answered all of the questions I threw at him. Provide historical background, but not too much as requested, for the sites we were looking at. Provided us with tips and additional things to do around the city, including his favorite Italian restaurant.

Amazing walking tour of every corner of Copenhagen - Hilde was extremely organized and knowledgeable about the culture, architecture and history of the city. She accommodated any special requests that we made to the comprehensive 5 hour tour that she had planned for our day together. She had an exceptional command of the English language and we would highly recommend using her for any tour in the city of copenhagen.

Best two hour history tour - The four of us were treated to a fascinating two hours of Copenhagen history. Ariana was engaging and so knowledgeable, especially about the city architecture history. We loved how she fit in all requested sites in our two hour tour.

Walk in the city. - Our guide Ernestas was very considerate. My sister needed to stop due to her condition. He took us to the Natural Historical museum where my sister could rest safely while my daughter and I could continue with our walking tour. He is very knowledgeable, and gave us the Copenhagen insight. We were able to cover a lot of grounds in a short time. It was an enjoyable walk with him.

Knowledge is power - and very interesting too! - We had a great time with Michael and saw so many different sites across the 3 hours. He had in-depth knowledge which he imparted with passion and intrigue, and gave a nice blend of history, contemporary and quirky sites. It would’ve been nice to have a short break in the middle for a drink (and a pastry!)

An immersive local experience - I cannot express how incredible Ariana was- a fountain of knowledge and experience. She helped me plan a day by myself afterwards which was also incredible. If you're looking to see the good sights but also experience what it's like as a local, this is it.

Perfect Introduction to Copenhagen! - Our 2-hour private tour of Copenhagen was perfect before it even started! Our guide James was in touch with us several days prior to our arrival to get information to help him really customize our trip and coordinate restaurant recommendations (and even reservations). At the appointed meeting time and location, James introduced himself, outlined his plan for our walking tour, and showed us a binder of helpful maps and lists that he had prepared for our use during the rest of our stay. From there we set out on a whirlwind tour of central Copenhagen that included great historical context as well as helpful practical information (about using public transport, local customs, days that sites are closed). The 2 hours really flew by and gave us a great orientation to the city to help us plan the rest of our visit. We could not have been more lucky to have been matched with James, who really got our 15th anniversary (and first post-COVID) trip started on the right foot!

This tour was the highlight of our vacation - We had the pleasure of taking this tour with Dalit (our guide) and I have to say it was special. We were greeted by her early morning 10 and had full 4 hours of the journey with her . She is a good story teller and we visited all the highlights of the beautiful city. Even after our tour ended , she voluntarily helped us plan the remaining of our vacation. I can strongly recommend this awesome experience with Dalit . Thank you for make our day special.
