3.Politically Incorrect Beer Walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 516 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $68

Walk from Urban House Copenhagen through Central Station, Mikkeller, the Meatpacking District, and the red-light district while tasting eight beers, about one liter in all. English-speaking guides such as Thor, Martin, Roger, and Derek mix Vesterbro history with deliberately crude humor. This is an outdoor beer walk, not a pub crawl or brewery tour.

“Zephyr was a truly amusing and fun and very personable tour guide. He did a great job at being a historian, comedian, and tour guide to some very fun parts of Copenhagen. I would easily recommend this tour to anyone who can walk the whole time and loves trying a bunch of different beers.”

4.Vesterbro Tour With Beer & Pub Visits – Max 10 People

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 186 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $72

Walk through Vesterbro with an English-speaking local guide such as Kenneth, Liva, Oskar, or Lucas. Visit a traditional brown bar, Mikkeller, and a craft beer pub while hearing stories about prostitution, working-class life, graffiti, royal history, and urban renewal. The group is capped at 10 people, and three beers are included.

“Our guide Kenneth was fantastic. He brought us to 3 different bars (plus a bonus market to get a "walking beer" because we told him that drinking on the street where we are from is illegal and he felt we needed to have a new experience. We did not protest). All of the bars had their own personality and their own beer vibe. Sitting down with a local and having a conversation over a beer was a great way to actually learn about not only where you are, but the people. Kenneth was a wealth of knowledge about the area and a pretty awesome guy. This tour, and Kenneth in…”

We sampled 9 different beers around Copenhagen, mixed in with some cool city history. The group was super chill, which made the whole experience really enjoyable.
