Per one customer who booked the Private Walking Grand Tour of Copenhagen, “Wayne was a wonderful tour guide. It was fun to walk through the city and see the main sights of Copenhagen. I enjoyed hearing about local customs and the stories about the royal family were fun to hear. I also appreciated tips on where I could see the city from the rooftops and what areas would be worth exploring further.”

Your local guide will introduce you to all the best city sights, from Nyhavn and beyond—note that tips are requested.

Whether you book a walking tour or guided boat tour on Copenhagen’s waterways, you’ll see Denmark’s capital city in all its glory, from the 17th-century waterfront houses of Nyhavn to the Danish Design Museum. All tours have different itineraries; you should consult your tour’s details for the full information.

Consider a full-day tour that visits as many attractions and landmarks as possible within the city. For example, book the Castle, Palace, Cathedral, and Viking Ships Tour, and you’ll see Kronborg Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Roskilde Cathedral, the Viking Ship Museum (Vikingskipshuset), and so much more—all with a guide deepening your Copenhagen experience.
