There's more to Copenhagen than palaces and canals.

Karyn_B, May 2026

This tour was fabulous. Having already visited a number of the 'touristy' attractions in Copenhagen, Isabella took us further into the city, explaining the different hidden gems and the history. As we walked through the different sections of the city she described their significance and their contributions to the way of life of the residents of Copenhagen, from royalty to everyday citizens and the military. We were fortune enough to have only 2 people on our tour, so she was able respond to our questions based on the level of our prior knowledge. She explained the history and significance of various buildings that we had previously blindly walked past, and how the various kings and other notable people had helped to shape the city we see today.

Great Experience

Copenhagen Up Close

Larry_H, Jul 2025

We walked around Old Copenhagen at a leisurely pace, while our guide and his photographer pointed out old buildings and statues and told us about their history, as well as the history of Denmark over the centuries. It was obvious that our guide and his photographer love Copenhagen and want their tour guests to love it as well. Mission accomplished.CopC
