Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We did the walking tour with Grazi on an absolutely miserable rainy day, but her enthusiasm enabled us to push on to see everything that we could. She loves to show people the city and had many stories to tell of the city’s history as we were walking. She does a great job of mixing in the must-see items with our own interests as well as lesser known sites. She also took the time to take some of the best pictures of us at each site. I would highly recommend touring with Grazi if she is available!"
"We couldn’t have looked for a better guide! If you want to see the difference between someone who works because it’s their job and someone who works because they love their job and are passionate about it then Grazi checks every mark! Fun, informative, passionate, inspirational, educational, you name it! We have taken in her suggestions for food following the tour as well and are so happy to have done so! Thank you Grazi! We hope our paths meet again! Linda & Graham"
"We loved our tour with Claudio. The three hours flew by. He took us to the main sights, but also adapted the content to our interests and showed us some special sights. He was patient with our one year old too. We ended our tour at the marketplace. "
"Claudio was able to connect the past and the present to give us a fantastic appreciation for Copenhagen - from it's royal past (and present) to how the modern government functions in the daily life of Danes. We saw all the highlights and often avoided other tourists at the same time. That is a wonderful experience. Claudio also engaged our interest in food and beverage by pointing out hot spots and also explaining the vibrant and still growing food scene in the city. Highly recommend - especially if you too love food and cocktails."

"We loved our few hours with Claudio walking around Copenhagen learning some of its history and food culture. Claudio was very informative and knowledgeable. He was obviously very proud of his heritage. We would thoroughly recommend Claudio for tours in Copenhagen."
"We had a wonderful time with Mia. She gave us a great walking overview of the city and tips for further exploration. Her knowledge of the city and its history were excellent. Then she took us to the communal artist colony Christiana. Her stories were fun and I doubt we would have found it on our own. What a great experience!"
"Even though the tour is more than a year ago, my family and I still remember going around Copenhagen with Jeff. He showed us his Copenhagen with some very special things that you normally don’t see as a tourist. You can really feel the passion and the emotion that Jeff has for his city. Full recommendation!"
"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!"
"Mia is a wonderful guide. She could answer all our questions and knows every detail about her city. We had a great time with her"
"Our family really enjoyed our tour with Hranner. He showed us all around Copenhagen, mixing history with discussions about the various neighborhoods and current topics. We felt we gained a great understanding of the beautiful city while seeing many of the main spots. As we were looking back at our vacation we felt that this tour was among the top highlights. Hranner is a fantastic guide and you would be lucky to have him take you around."
