Claudia – France

In a 2 h tour I got an idea of Danish history and visited all the main monuments . Lesley was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the culture of the northern countries and the relation between them through the centuries . It was also an amusing tour thanks to Lesley !

Birgitta –

Silte , My guide was extremly knowledgeable, interesting but also with a good sense of humour and a feeling for people. As I am a guide and tour leader myself I recognize the qualities of a good guide - and she is more than good , she is excellent. I enjoyed My tour a lot and learned a lot about Copenhagen, despite the fact that it was far from the first time I visited the city.

Full description

Get an introduction to Copenhagen on a private two-hour walking tour, perfect for first-time visitors and those on a tight schedule.

Copenhageners have always had a deep connection to the water. For centuries, the city's coastal location has made it a hub for trade, tourism, and recreation. From Viking longships to modern cruise liners, countless visitors have arrived by sea—or if not, they inevitably find their way to the water, often with a canal cruise. That's why it's only fitting that this walking tour of Copenhagen City highlights famous Danes, iconic landmarks, and fascinating history all along the waterfront!

We'll visit the seat of the Danish Parliament at the historical Christiansborg Palace on Slotsholmen islet, see where the longest outdoor bar in Copenhagen is located in the Nyhavn area, and check out the Marble Church, which is neighbouring Amalienborg Palace, home of King Frederik and Queen Mary.

Our inner-city tales finish by Kongens Nytorv, where you're just a few minutes walk from Nyhavn, one location to pick up a canal tour (if you haven't done so already, now's the time).

Silke is an amazing guide, enjoyed hearing the history of Copenhagen and its buildings; an unexpected perk was that it was just me who booked, my own private tour Would definitely recommend taking this walk! S.
