An Absolutely excellently guided tour by a professional guide

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.

Well worth the money

We were lucky enough to be the only ones in our group so it was well tailored to our needs. Our guide was wonderful- very knowledgeable, giving us lots of historical information as well and we saw parts of Copenhagen that we never would have seen by ourselves. We feel we know Copenhagen so much better!

I went with Laurence and the whole tour was really enjoyable and fun. Lots of useful knowledge which will make our stay easier as it's our first day in Copenhagen. Thanks to Laurence we got to see different parts of the city we probably might have missed otherwise. Highly recommend!
