Great tour with David! - David was the best tour guide we have ever experienced on a tour. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and showed us all the highlights of the city. He spent extra time showing us everything. He put a lot of tr into learning the city and put new information into his tour. I highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful private walking tour of Aarhus - This was an excellent walking tour. David covered the local sites with excellent information. Saw the interior of two churches, had fantastic descriptions of the art work around the city and capped off with a great vista of Aarhus. Even had s delicious stop for a pastry. A very enjoyable tour.

A great way to see and learn about Aarhus. Highly recommend! - Aarhus is a very incredible location in Denmark and it gets even better when you know the history and local tid-bits of the culture and interesting places of interest. David, our guide, was great! Very informative and open to learn more. I loved the curiosity and willingness to share the broad knowledge he holds of Aarhus. We got know about the neighborhoods and buildings as well as great spots to eat and check out after the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour. Sundays, you will not be able to enter the cathedrals however.
