Description: This tour will introduce you overall to wonderful Copenhagen, History of the city, everyday life, added with personal inputs from all my life lived in this wonderful city, where I’m also born.

We will pass through parts of The Old Town, where we among other attractions will discover Christiansborg Castle (The Parliament) Our lady’s Church (Cathedral of Copenhagen), Round Tower and The Old University area. When picking a native guide, like me, who have lived all his life here, you’ll also discover hidden gems and local spots, that only a Copenhagen citizen and native can show you.

Copenhagen has a unique system of back– and court yards, and we will see some of the local and secret ones, with great options for shooting amazing pictures of unique spots. Discover areas where people have lived back in the days and have the story about the development of Copenhagen from little fishing village to a fortress town and further on to the current modern and green capital of Denmark of today. You’ll also have information of the everyday-life in Copenhagen, the unique work/live-balance and have an understanding of the Danish view of life and the Danish way of feel good named ” hygge”.

Finally, I will answer your questions, give your local recommendations, deliver unique input and personal anecdotes from my life in Copenhagen, that probably will make this tour one of the highlights of your trip.

If you choose me as your guide who is born and have lived all my life in Copenhagen - then you'll have the ultimate expert to deliver your unique experiences, looking forward to meeting and guiding you. "I do not claim I am an expert in everything - but in Copenhagen I definitely am."
