19 Best Copenhagen Sightseeing Tours 2020

A Copenhagen insight

If tours of historic and touristy "must-sees" don't interest you then this is the tour for you! Join Jorgen on two wheels and you will see a side of Copenhagen you would never discover by yourself. To say it's off the beaten track is something of an understatement. Jorgen is a wonderful host who will literally welcome you into his home and his way of life. It is a fascinating few hours exposed to an alternative way of life. You won't regret stepping off the well-trodden tourist trail.

Awesome tour with a lot of interesting facts!

Our guide Mie from Urban Adventures made a great job! We enjoyed the tour a lot and learned amazing facts about the neighborhood as well as Copenhagen itself. The 3 hours just flew by and the beer we tasted was really good. I can really recommend this tour. It's a lot of fun!

Great, casual tour

I really enjoyed learning the history of this neighborhood and trying different beers in different settings for each area. I highly recommend this tour if you are a history nerd & enjoy beers from around the world.

Booked the Hygge and Happiness tour for our first full day in Copenhagen. It was by far the best tour experience we've had in any of the European cities we've visited. Lucky for us, my wife and I were the only ones on the tour so it was a very personal experience. Lars was a wealth of knowledge and an awesome tour guide. We learned about things that you couldn't find on the internet. Since we were the only ones on the tour it was really nice that we could adapt it to what we wanted to see and do. Towards the end since we had time left, Lars, my wife, and I went to a cafe to relax and talk about a bunch of things, which we really enjoyed. Hearing a local perspective on world events was great. Lars also had a great recommendation for dinner at a cozy place where I got to try the national dish, stegt flæsk. Probably one of the best meals I had while in Copenhagen.
Urban Adventures may be a bit more expensive than other tours but it is well worth it. We passed some other tour groups that had 25+ people which in my opinion is too large and you don't get that personal feel.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Copenhagen. My advice would be to do it early in your stay so you can get a feel for the city and can revist any places you enjoyed.

Such a wonderful peek into what makes Copenhagen so wonderful

We took our first trip to Denmark recently and stayed in Copenhagen for about a week. Before leaving we found the Hygge and Happiness tour that looked like a lot of fun and a good way to learn about the culture and how people really live in Copenhagen.

Our guide to all things Hygge was Sandra. What an amazing person! Full of energy and enthusiasm and you could tell she truly cares about helping others to understand what an amazing place Copenhagen is.

The tour was wonderful as well. It takes you through some big tourist locations, but many many more smaller locations that you likewise wouldn’t find on your own. Even at the more touristy locations, Sandra provided a wealth of knowledge and much better history than you would likely find on your own. The tour also includes two pretty wonderful stops at a bakery and finally a kaffe shop. The food is amazing and the lattes are wonderful.

I highly recommend this tour (and Sandra!). If you want to learn about what makes Copenhagen such a happy place and find some of the hidden gems of the city, you should absolutely take this tour!

I booked the beer and vice tour in vestebro as a birthday present for my husband on the last day of our break in Copenhagen. I thought it would be a different way of ending our holiday . I was right it was different informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide Lars put us at our ease immediately and was a mine of information. The pubs we we visited were all different and all interesting in their own way and Lars had stories about them all. The area itself was one we probably would have missed on our own and that would have been a shame. So thank you Lars for a wonderful afternoon which flew by. I only wish I had booked the tour at the beginning of our time in Copenhagen as Lars had so much advice as to what to see and we missed a lot,still perhaps next time.

Had a beautiful day on the Hygge & happiness tour

My friend and myself don't often like "touristy" walking tours, so the Hygge and happiness tour was a perfect way for use to experience and learn about the Danish people from an actual Danish person. Groups are small, and ours was just the 2 of us so we had a private tour! Mie, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The tour is well constructed showing both the big, important landmarks in Copenhagen, but also lesser known little secrets about the city. By the end of tour you will feel you know so much more about Danish culture and Hygge, and can't help but walking away happier!

A must in Copenhagen

We were so happy that we booked this tour. Søren, our tour guide, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. My 85 year old mother had a great time and was able to keep up with the tour (fortunately, she's in great shape). Søren made sure that we had plenty of opportunities to duck into a little hyggefied cafe to sip on some delicious coffee and eat some amazing danishes. We learned so much about the Danish lifestyle and history and had a great time. Thanks again for a great tour, Søren!

Really great way to see the City. Highly recommend.

My friend and I went on the 2 hour tour which was the perfect length. We got to see nearly all of the city and enjoy all the sights. There was just 3 of us on the tour who had all been on Segways previously so our guide Omar brought us to nearly every where imaginable. You get opportunities to stop for photos which is great. I found Omar as a guide to be brilliant, he was informative while very funny at the same time. I wouldn’t chose any other way to see a big city in such a time. Thank you for a great tour!

so much fun and educational too!

I had segwayed before but this was the first time for my husband. We took the one hour tour in English - a guide and the two of us in the cycle lanes of Copenhagen! wifi in the helmets mean you ride and listen to interesting details - history, local life etc. An hour took us round the inner city, with lots of sights - the Opera, Nyhavn, university.... loads to see and hear about. Segwaying is fun and easy to do, so we felt safe and in control. Worth every penny - next time the 2 hour trip for us !!!!

The Best 2 Hour Segway Yet

After doing a fair number of Segway Tours throughout the world of the past years, our recent experience in Copenhagen was the best.
Our guide Omar was Very informative without being boring, and has the makings of a first class comedian! Ask for him if you can!
Our tour was enhanced by being reduced to only 5 in the group with all being experienced Segway riders
Highly recommended in that configuration.

A must do

Mie was wonderful! Her walking 🚶 was a fabulous look at the real Copenhagen way of life with just the right amount of perfectly cozy sights, tasty local food and interesting information. She really wanted us to share her love of Copenhagen and we did! She also helped us make decisions about what to see while here and how to best do it complete with a marked map. So happy we took the tour!

This tourned out to be a great and very special guided tour. We got to experience a part of Copenhagen that we did not know much about, and it was interesting to learn about the development of the area by walking the streets and visiting parks and cafes/pubs. Much history and stories about every day life, and nice dialogue with Karl. Great way to spend an afternoon in Copenhagen!

Great Way to See Norrebro

I had a great time on this tour - my guides were super friendly and knowledgeable, very easy to talk to. There were intermittent showers so we ducked into a few bars to escape the rain - great to hang out and chat. I had been staying in Norrebro and the tour was a perfect way to see some of the streets I had missed on my own walkabout over the weekend. Highly recommended!

The perfect city tour

My wife and I had an outstanding time on our tour of Copenhagen with Mie. It was a perfect balance of learning about Danish culture and enjoying the city alongside a hospitable local. If you want to experience Copenhagen, but you don't want to be that tourist who just checks all the boxes of obvious touristy things to do, this is for you.

This tour truly lived up to its name. We traveled through neighborhoods and saw sights that we never would have known existed. Jorge was excellent about making us feel at home in his special places in the city. He told stories of the area as only a native can. This is an excellent tour if you really do want to get off the beaten track!

Fun way to start your visit to Copenhagen

This was a wonderful way to start our vacation. We got an overview of Copenhagen and were able to identify places that would be fun to go back and explore in more depth. The guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He also had some very good advice we were able to use later in our visit. Highly recommend this tour.

We found the service so easy to arrange with Bertrand when we were going to Copenhagen. He put us in contact with two fantastic photographers, who offered invaluable advice and input on lighting, time of day, and locations, while keeping in line with our visions to capture the right moments. Very happy with the overall service.
