Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Six of us took a tour with Grazi today. She was terrific! Her enthusiasm, her love for and her knowledge of the history of the area was beyond. It was such a fun way to us to be introduced to Copenhagen and visit the highlights in a few hours’ walk. Where to go, what to do and suggestions for eating, drinking and shopping. She was very engaging and informative—and her English is outstanding. If you’re looking for a smart, funny, friendly guide—go with Grazi! She’s great."
"We had a really enjoyable and informative walking tour with Christel. As we had walked the center of the city the day before, Christel adapted her plans and took us through other areas of the city, combining history, food and culture. She also provided us with a great list of recommendations for the remainder of our time in Copenhagen. Highly recommended. "
"We loved spending the day with Claudio exploring Copenhagen's unique neighborhoods. He curated a special, off the beaten tourist path, yet historical day trip for four of us. His knowledge of the city's history and new Nordic food scene was excellent. He also helped us plan a few other trips and was very knowledgeable on Tivoli Gardens planning."

"Grazi showed our family (including our two boys aged 7 and 10) the sights and hidden gems of Copenhagen. It was our first visit as a family. Grazi brought a wonderful combination of warmth, humour, local knowledge and enthusiasm. It brought the city alive for us with a mix of history, buildings and architecture and some very tasty food stops along the way. Would highly recommend Grazi if you are looking for a local guide in this beautiful city. Thank you Grazi for creating a highlight of our stay!"
