Paula was an amazing guide! My husband and I were gifted a walking tour of Copenhagen for our honeymoon and we could not have asked for a friendlier, more informative guide! She provided a fascinating background on the city’s history, as well as interesting modern facts that set Copenhagen apart from other major European cities. Would definitely recommend this tour (and Paula!) to anyone looking for an in-depth tour of the city.
