Must take tour iin Copenhagen

KEVIN_b, Jul 2026

Our group of 7 adults had a fantastic time walking ( and a ferry ride) around Copenhagen with our two guides , Karl Eric and Kris.. We loved it -even on a drizzly day. They were extremely informative, patient and helpful giving us advice for continued exploration. They recommended a local lunch spot , walked us to it and secured us a table. They even joined us for lunch. Take this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that your group had such a fantastic experience with Karl Eric and Kris. It’s wonderful to know that they made the tour informative, fun, and welcoming, even on a drizzly day. We’re especially happy that their local recommendations—and joining you for lunch—helped make your visit even more memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! Good day, Isabella / Go Like a Local
