Perfect tour on a perfect sunny morning - On September 6th, 2025, we did the Copenhagen two-hour tour for beginners. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our guide told us in impeccable English not only solid historical facts but also amusing anecdotes about both the city and Denmark. We loved this tour!

Walking tour 30th August 2025 - Thoroughly enjoyable walking tour. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Denmark. It was a small group which allowed him to respond to many questions while keeping us engaged. The walk was at a good pace and we weren't rushed at all, the group appreciated the extra time. A perfect start to our short break in Copenhagen. Please pass on all our thanks.

Not a bad couple of hours. - The tour was alright. Great to see some sights I wouldn’t have thought about during my visit to Copenhagen. No earphones were provided (as advertised) so it was easy to miss some things in noisier surroundings. The small group of 8 people of all ages struggled a bit to keep up with the tour guide so they would have missed more than me. The guide did thankfully get us to Amalienborg (the final stop) right on time to see the changing of the guard, despite one of the group turning up late. Recommend, but don’t be late otherwise it’s all a bit rushed.
