4.Aarhus Private Walking Tour with a Local

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 12 reviews · 2 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $66

Explore Aarhus privately with a local host for two to six hours. Your guide can shape the walk around history, churches, student life, food, art, or city views. Hosts such as Anish, Makhin, and Riccardo have led especially well-liked tours, though preparation can vary, so send your priorities in advance.

“Better than a large group Tour but guide could have been better prepared. She didn't know the answer to some easy questions like what the population is. She didn't know when some places we visited would be open. It would have been nice if she stopped and pointed out photo opportunities. Otherwise the tour was well paced and covered as much of Aarhus as we wanted. She was very personable.”

“Disappointed and overcharged. We anticipated much more than we received being a private tour. Although our guide was nice, she was not able to answer simple questions and felt like we were on a stroll around the city without much guidance or input about the history.”
