Our passion for our work and our city makes us wonderful guides - but only you can keep us doing what we love. We hope to tour for many years to come, and as freelance tourguides we receive no compensation outside of what guests pay at the end of our tours.

Our visitors travel from all over the world to have a good time in Copenhagen, and we are well acquainted with the unique challenges of walking as a group in the city.

Nowadays Copenhagen is known as a culture capital, a hub of design and experimentation, a place for foodies and a land of fairy tales. Join our Grand tour to hear how Copenhagen became the fantastic city it is today.
