Private Walking Grand Tour of Copenhagen

1.Private Walking Grand Tour of Copenhagen

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,953 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) Our pick

Walk from Rådhuspladsen to Amalienborg Palace with a private English-speaking guide. You’ll see Strøget, Nyhavn, Marble Church, Christiansborg, and royal landmarks while learning about Danish life, politics, architecture, and customs. Guides may include Paula, Fran, Jack, Laura, Wayne, Luca, or Gabriela.

“Paula was a fantastic guide - informative, funny, and kind. Since we have kids (5 and 8 year olds), we felt best about booking a private tour so we could go at a pace that worked for the kids. I have to say, the tour is doable with kids, with Copenhagen being very walkable. It’s flat, and the sites on the tour are not a long distance from start to end. It helps to have an accommodating guide like Paula who allowed us to stop for a restroom break or to pick up some bottles of water along the way.”

Politically Incorrect Beer Walk

8.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.”

“Our guide Peter perfectly balanced history, culture, and local charm, all while keeping things relaxed and personal. Peter was both knowledgeable and engaging, weaving together stories about Copenhagen’s past with insights into everyday Danish life. Rather than just listing facts, they brought the city to life with anecdotes, humor, and thoughtful context. Overall, this was a fantastic way to get to know Copenhagen. If you’re visiting for the first time (or even if you’ve been before), I’d highly recommend booking a small-group walking tour.”
