Learned a lot in 2 hour walk. - Oskar was very knowledgeable. He moved at a quick pace. We liked that he dropped us off near city center. I could have used a bathroom break.

Great highlights tour of Copenhagen - Our tour got rescheduled to the next day due to the unexpected rainy weather, the tour operator was really helpful and accommodating in handling the situation.
Our tour guide on the day was lovely and bubbly, she really made the tour enjoyable with her personality and humor. She was very informative and knowledgeable on history and the stories in the region, but not over detailed that would bore you.
The walk is 2 hours, there are few spots in between where you could sit while the guide is talking for those who might need a little rest. Great day out and the guide was really helpful with recommendations. The tour ends in the lovely Nyhavn area where you can get a drink or lunch along the canal once the tour ends. Also, the metro station is not too far.

not worth it. - The guide was polite, but the information provided was quite bland. There were no interesting stories or insights, just basic comments like "this is such-and-such building." The pace of the tour was languid. However, the group was small with only six people, which was a plus.
I would not recommend it.
