Highlights

Please note that when you book 1 traveller, that represents one private tour. The tour is exclusive to your group which can have anywhere from 1 to 15 people. We can accommodate up to 30 people with an additional payment of 100 DKK per person over the limit. Come get dazzled on Denmark’s #1 rated walking tour. Denmark may appear to have only one season (dreary!), but we can put a spring in your step! Learn the politically incorrect, yet factual stories of the city and laugh, while walking the streets that those stories were made on. In 90 minutes you will walk the same cobblestoned streets as Hans Christian Andersen, hear stories about historic Denmark and quirky anecdotes about Copenhagen today. There’ll be a little bit of lore and a little bit of gore, and tales of princes and perversions, gratification and tax equations. Learn everything you need to know – and just as importantly, what to avoid! The tour ends a 15-minute walk from the Little Mermaid statue.

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.
