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.
