Good guide

ANTONIO_C, Sep 2025
The guide was good and thorough in her telling the stories. The tour was a little tiring for the aged and the cost is on the expensive side.

A slow start to a wonderful tour

We had a great tour with Marina! The group did have a little trouble finding the correct meeting place staircase at DOKK1, but we finally did meet up. There are 3 staircases around the building- go to the one that directly faces the Main Street. It is the middle of the 3. Loved learning about the Danes and their heritage. I would highly recommend this tour!

Very friendly and informative

Marianna was such a delight. Very knowledgeable & wonderful tour. It was an excellent tour. She is one of the best tour guides, that we have ever had.

Time travel in Aarhus did not disappoint

Diane_S, May 2024
Marina is the perfect tour guide. This was our first time visiting Aarhus and we knew nothing about the city. We had wished to get as much an experience as we possibly could in the few hours that we were visiting. Marina made that wish come true. She was extremely enthusiastic about sharing all of her knowledge as she also lives there. Every place we went to was incredible. Our agenda was very flexible. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. It felt like having your best friend tour you around the city. We had an amazing time with her. I highly recommend this tour. **One special note. Her dropdown with the availability of her time, does not include every time that she's available. So please contact her through the site to ask her if she is available at the time that your ship comes in. You will be thrilled and very lucky if she's available to show you around her city. She is correct, 5 hours with her just flies by. Thanks so much Marina!!!!

Best custom tour avoid the large ship

Timothy_C, Oct 2023
What a wonderful excursion. Advertised as small group into 10. We were the only two on the tour. Marina was phenomenal . She was knowledgeable, engaging and couldn’t have been a better guide. Avoid the cruise ship walking yours with 25/30 people. She let us spend as much time or direct our interests.

The charm of Denmark
