Great tour, great beer - Highly recommend this tour even as a solo traveler. Oskar was a fantastic tour guide-sharing interesting facts along our tour. The pub atmosphere at the three bars we stopped at made it easy to connect with others in the group. I had a great time a learned a lot about the history and culture of Copenhagen.

A super duper tour - We had an absolutely fantastic tour. Our tour guide did everything right. He introduced himself, let the group introduce themselves, and was attentive, knowledgeable, and had a great personality. He never rushed us. The venues for the beer tastings were super. I can honestly say we had a great time.

Beer, history and fun! - Highly recommend this tour. Liva was our guide. She was fun and knows her beer. But she also gave us a little history of Copenhagen. The choice of beers that she selected for us was varied and offered other selections if you had a preference. Her conversation was engaging and fun. I'm not even fond of beer and I had a great time. Take this tour you won't regret it!

Vesterbro Beer Tour - Such a great tour led my Therese and Oskar! Therese is extremely knowledgeable about the Vesterbro neighborhood. We went to three very different bars and learned a lot about the history of the neighborhood along the way. I highly recommend if you want to have a super fun afternoon with some delicious beers and great company!
