We had a wonderful time on this tour with Noah as our guide. The walking tour was very interesting, and he was very knowledgeable about the area having lived there his whole life. We highly recommend this to others.
Amazing experience walking trough Christianshavn led by a local. You can sense the pride and respect he had for the neighbourhood, and he does the tour making sure every participant is happy. Would very much recommend!
Even on a chilly day, this tour was so enjoyable. Our guide had lived in Christianshavn his whole life & had great personal perspectives to share, which is just what we were hoping for. His English was perfect and we learned a lot about the neighborhood and about Copenhagen overall. Our young adult children paid attention the whole time too! I recommend spending a few hours walking around this area, once the tour is done - it's so lovely
Simon was an excellent tour guide. The tour was very interesting and informative and Simon's love for this particular area of his city was infectious! Would highly recommend.
What a great tour! Linea was such an engaging and considerate guide with loads of interesting things to tell us. And perfectly paced too. Absolutely worth it :)
Our tour guide was Simon who was very engaging and knowledgeable. The tour included the old parts of Copenhagen and the ‘hippy’ community. I would recommend this tour as a good introduction to Copenhagen.
Eske was a very knowledgable guide that took his time to explain to everyone what we saw in the tour. I highly recommend him and the tour.
Our tour guide Lusander was excellent and made the experience so pleasant and interesting from the perspective of a true Copenhagen local that was born and raised there! Not only did we enjoy learning the history alongside the tour but we also became privy to things only locals knew about the culture… such an enriching experience in just 2 hours! Highly recommend!
