★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,088 reviews · 2 hours · from $39

Review of Copenhagen’s 2-hour politically incorrect walking tour, with royal sights, Danish history, dark humor, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The tour was enchanting. Our guide Roger was very artistic, with a theatrical touch and a very balanced, intelligent and quick humor, and really funny.

Explore Copenhagen’s Christianshavn, Christiania, canals, food history, and unusual bridge stories on a funny, tip-based walking tour.

“Perfect day to walk through Copenhagen and Christiania. Our tour guide was very fun and entertaining. He didn't hold back. He was a wealth of information regarding an area that is rich in history and stories. Christiania is going through a huge transition (weed" is no longer sold on Pusher Street), and he provided all the details behind why. Guides aren't allowed in Christiania, but after the tour was over, he took a walk through the area while giving some food and beer recommendations. My only complaint was it was Caribbean night in Nemoland the day we were there. Nothing says Denmark like Caribbean night :) If you like to…”
