We were very lucky to get a private tour as it was a cold winter day. It was very informative, there were great views, interesting details and we got a remarkable overview of Aarhus. We can only recommend the tour to everyone. Many thanks to the great guide.

We've enjoyed Roberto's tour. It was incredibly insightful! He shared a wealth of details that left a vivid impression of Aarhus' history. He took his time, ensuring we could fully absorb the information without feeling rushed. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars

A great tour with lots of interesting stops and information. Roberto did a great job. You should be a good walker as you move quickly. For our older companions (over 70) it was a bit too strenuous at times.

Really nice comedy but also reflections about being immigrants. Thanks!
