David was an excellent tour guide!! He really knows his stuff and made sure to spend more time talking about the things that we were really into - he read the room. Excellent!

This is a fabulous tour, overview of the beautiful city of Arhus. Our guide was excellent and we saw so much more than I expected, ending with a scenic view of the city. One of the best tours we took on our Baltic cruise (and there were many good ones).

We booked this tour as we only had a short amount of free time in Aarhus, as we were on a cruise. David's communication before the tour was excellent.
In total, there were 14 of us, many also on the same cruise. The tour is advertised as 2-3 hours and started at 11am. However, by 2:30 we had run out of time and we had to finish at the Rooftop garden to get back to the Ship on time.
Having said that, we thouroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend. David really brought out the highlights of the town, had an excellent knowledge of the historic and modern sights and his enthusiasm for Aarhus really stood out.

David was the best tour guide we have ever experienced on a tour. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and showed us all the highlights of the city. He spent extra time showing us everything. He put a lot of tr into learning the city and put new information into his tour. I highly recommend this tour!

Very interesting and enjoyable. Tells the story of this very interesting city. Highly recommend. We had limited time and David was kind enough to pack in so we did not miss anything important.

This was an excellent walking tour. David covered the local sites with excellent information. Saw the interior of two churches, had fantastic descriptions of the art work around the city and capped off with a great vista of Aarhus. Even had s delicious stop for a pastry. A very enjoyable tour.

The tour really made Aarhus come alive and revealed the history and meaning of the city and its inhabitants. It gave us more depth to understand what we experienced.

We had David as our tour guide, he gave so much information about things we didn't even know. It was amazing!!! The sights were great. Definitely a must do!!

Aarhus is a very incredible location in Denmark and it gets even better when you know the history and local tid-bits of the culture and interesting places of interest.
David, our guide, was great! Very informative and open to learn more. I loved the curiosity and willingness to share the broad knowledge he holds of Aarhus. We got know about the neighborhoods and buildings as well as great spots to eat and check out after the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour. Sundays, you will not be able to enter the cathedrals however.

Our private tour guide David, met us promptly at our hotel, and proceeded to exhibit a high level of professionalism, courtesy, site & country knowledge (historical, cultural & geographic), humor & curiosity that revealed an utterly captivating, charming man; who will soon have you feeling the same of the City of Aarhus.
We highly commend this tour & guide.

We had a very informative tour of the city highlights from a very knowledgeable guide! It’s exactly what we wanted!
Alicia_M, Aug 2025
We found the guide to be knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, and entertaining. We enjoyed the stories, particularly about Harald Bluetooth, Denmark during WW 2, and the church history. Strongly recommend this tour.
Jacqueline_D, Jul 2025
What a great tour! David was an amazing tour guide! So informative. He is so knowledgeable and has a such a wonderful way of relaying info. This is our first trip to Aarhus and we learned so much. We would highly recommend booking this tour early in your trip!
Carla_G, Nov 2025
Excellent tour of the city. David was punctual and patient with our pace since we were with our young children. The tour gave us relevant information about the history of the city and the country. Even with the cold of 0 degrees we had a great morning and full of good stories.
