“Guide Josh went above and beyond helping us from everything we needed. Starting before the tour with handy hint such as how to get from the airport to our hotel. Even helped me obtain a new toothbrush. Tour covered a lot of ground and was very informative, 2 hours was not enough time! Only thing that could have made the experience better was getting to stop at some of the recommend places for a drink or a snack whilst on the tour. And maybe a little more time for photos.

See Copenhagen’s royal palaces, harbor, Nyhavn, and Little Mermaid by bike in 2.5 hours with local guide Lone.

“Lone was our guide. The tour was a nice mix of: - the Royal palaces, decked with entertaining anecdotes about the history of the royal family - the historic churches and cathedral with some time to take a look inside. - the more modern monuments and touristic highlights. The following days, we had the feeling that we've seen all important landmarks and had a better orientation in the city. Note that the tour is in most cases more a teaser about what could be routes to take as an follow-up, which was very pleasant to us. Her English was easy to understand for us as Germans with medium knowledge of…”

I am happy to have heard about the food customs of the Danes!”
