"We had an absolutely wonderful time on our private food tour with Claudio in Copenhagen! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Danish cuisine and culture, but also genuinely passionate about sharing that knowledge.
Claudio took the time to ask about our interests right at the start, and effortlessly tailored the experience to suit both the adults and our two young boys (ages 6 and 8). That’s no easy task, but he pulled it off beautifully! He kept the kids engaged and entertained throughout the tour, introducing them to new foods in a fun, approachable way, while still offering plenty of depth and variety to keep the adults intrigued and satisfied.
The stops were well-chosen and diverse, and Claudio's insights into both the history and the stories behind each dish made everything come alive. It felt less like a tour and more like spending a few hours with a knowledgeable local friend who just happens to know the best food spots in the city.
Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a more personal and thoughtful introduction to Copenhagen’s food scene. Thank you, Claudio, for making it such a memorable day for all of us"
"We loved the Tour and the quality of the Food. Such a great experience and so Kids-friendly! Thank you so much Fabrine!"

Be Sure to Take a Tour with Grazi!
"Our family of four had an amazing time biking around Copenhagen with Grazi! We saw so much and learned a lot. Grazi was incredibly informative, gave us great ideas for the rest of our stay in Denmark, and was a joy to meet. Biking in Copenhagen is the best way to see this beautiful city."
"We enjoyed our tour with Grazi a lot. At the beginning she asked us some questions to better understand what we are interested in.
She gave us a great overview of the Danish and Scandinavian history which helped us a lot to better understand the city. She had a huge background knowledge of all the sites visited and could answer all our questions. It was very lively and never boring.
We were glad that we took the tour on our first day of our 5 days stay. We got so many tipps what to do, see and eat. After the tour Grazi was so kind to send us links to all of her tipps.
Besides Grazi took the most amazing pictures of us. So we have perfect memories of all the sites we went.
We feel very lucky to have met Grazi. You cannot wish for a better guide!"
"Fabrine's knowledge on the fascinating hidden gems of Copenhagen would never let you guess that she isn't a native local. In fact, she has probably explored and studied the nooks and corners of the city more than most locals have - which is a great asset for a Highlights and Hidden Gems tour.
She also introduced us to some great Danish food - we particularly loved the scrumptiously fresh smørrebrød (Danish open-faced sandwiches) and delicious fiskefrikadeller (fish cakes) that we tried. Her warm, fun and open nature makes for good company on a tour, too."

Great tour with Grazi.
"We enjoyed our introduction to Copenhagen tour with Grazi. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting insights into Copenhagen culture and history. The tour was at the right pace, and her English was excellent. Would highly recommend."
"We had a wonderful tour with Monica. She took us to some interesting local places, and even made some side trips to show us things that she thought we should see, but had not on her tour the previous day. She was very engaging, and we enjoyed our time with her. Highly recommend."
"Thank you for a great introduction to your City! Great company and very interesting. "

Hidden Gems with Monica
"If you’re lucky enough to get Monica as your guide on the Hidden Gems WithLocals tour, cancel your other plans—this is the real main event.
Monica was the perfect blend of knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about her city. She didn’t just take us to places we never would’ve found on our own—she brought them to life with stories, history, and the kind of insider info you only get from someone who truly knows (and loves) the place.
We wandered charming backstreets, stumbled upon tucked-away cafés, quirky shops, hidden courtyards—you name it. Monica had great energy, answered every question with a smile (even the dumb ones—yes, I asked a couple), and somehow made the whole thing feel like exploring a new city with an old friend.
If you’re looking for a cookie-cutter tour with 40 people wearing matching headphones—move along. But if you want an experience that feels authentic, personal, and just plain fun, Monica’s your person."
