Highlights
Book this tour to guarantee your spot on this public, TIPS-BASED tour. Are you a HISTORY BUFF? This tour is probably NOT for you. This tour is for people who are tired of traditional sightseeing and excited by the idea of being pleasantly offended. Stroll over the beautiful Inner Harbour Bridge and hear stories of all the things that would go in a typical Scandinavian film noir: suicide, shipping magnates and socialism. And if that doesn’t work up your appetite, then learning about the bougie and budget Copenhagen food scene certainly will! From award-winning dining to street food. So if you have an appetite for the curious and creative, and you want to learn all about the area of Christiania and its inhabitants (–including a troll!) then this tour will be right up your alley. Come get the low down on the high hippies and find out what makes this area like no other place in the world! The tour ends outside of Christiania, where you will be well-equipped to venture in on your own.

5Time well spent
Steen was awesome, tour was easy and fun interactive
3Nice to see
I enjoyed this tour, although it was probably my least favourite of the three tours I joined in Copenhagen. We spent quite a lot of time walking through ordinary streets while listening to interesting stories about the area, and the tour lasted more than 90 minutes. The stories themselves were interesting, but I found it a little difficult to stay engaged throughout the whole tour. The main challenge for me was the guide’s accent. My English is quite good, but I found Martin’s accent difficult to understand at times, so unfortunately I probably missed around half of what was being said. I think I would have enjoyed the tour much more if I had been able to understand everything more easily. Still, it was an interesting way to explore Christianshavn and learn more about its history and the hippie culture.
5Do the tour!
Really worth the time :). Would recommend.
5Must do tour!
Absolutely great guide. Jack was amazing and did a really good job telling us about the rich history and current situation in Christiania
4Incredible insights to Christiania and their culture
History of Christianshavn, the squatters, military bases, drugs, gang violence, and much more. It was really interesting to hear from Jack; to walk us through the part of town that would’ve otherwise been just a vandalised area to the naked eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend anyone to sign up, as long as you are tolerant to spicy jokes :)
5Fun and informative short tour
Very enjoyable tour with Martin. He was both informative and entertaining. Book directly with the operator to avoid Trip Advisor fees. You can tip by credit/debit card too after the tour.

About Copenhagen
Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.
Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.
Top-ranked sights in Copenhagen: Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot), Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace.
