About this activity

See Copenhagen the way you would with a local friend. Your host is a Copenhagener who has lived here for many years, the group is never more than 12, and the stories follow what your group is curious about. We walk past Tivoli, Christiansborg Palace and the Black Diamond, then hop on the public canal ferry that Copenhageners use every day, not a tourist boat. From the water you see the Old Stock Exchange and the Opera House. Back on land we visit the Little Mermaid, Kastellet and the Marble Church, stop at a café, and finish at Amalienborg Palace for the Changing of the Guard.

Along the way you get personal recommendations, from where locals eat to what to do tomorrow. A conversation, not just a lecture.

Good to know: about 5 km of walking with the ferry. The ferry is public transport, so seats can't be reserved. If it is full or not running, we walk the scenic canal route instead (about 7 km in total) and still see every stop.

Not suitable for those with walking difficulties.

Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen

See the attractions outside Copenhagen. The only tour that not only includes the royal castles but also visits the former capital, Roskilde with its amazing cathedral and original Viking ships. You see a lot more than on the other tours. You also get a more personal experience because we operate in small groups of 16 people or less. Knowledgeable and English speaking guide.
