This is just a driver, not a tour guide. Our driver had very little knowledge about the city and any of the sights we passed. Did not know anything about the history of the area and had to look up the answer to most of our simple questions. He was a nice guy but I would not recommend his services unless you just want someone to drive you around the city.

Reviews
Our driver and tour guide were fantastic! Both had great knowledge of Copenhagen and gave us a delightful tour. The van was very roomy, clean and comfortable for four larger people. Enjoyed all the stops we made, including the delicious bakery! Thank you for a great day in Copenhagen!
Luis was an excellent tour guide and Lars was an excellent driver!! I have a leg injury and Lars was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He helped me in and out of the van and parked very close to the sites or drove to where we were standing so I could minimize me steps! Luis made sure we didn't stand for very long and imparted a lot of information inside the van. He provided a lot of information about the Danish culture, way of life as well as historical facts. Both men were exceptionally nice, polite, patient, communicative and timely!! I plan to use them every time we come back to visit Copenhagen!! I highly recommend this team!!
Wonderful overview of Copenhagen! Our guide Peter and driver Lars were wonderful! They customized the tour to meet our needs
The tour was excellently prepared, in relation to our guide Chiara there are not enough good words to describe her commitment and understanding to and of our group. I will give a rating of A+++ to both the company and the tour guide.
Luis was a great representative for Denmark. He is a wealth of knowledge and clearly very proud of his city. We had a great experience and excellent day.
Ask for Luis! He is absolutely the best and very proud of his 2nd home country.... wish I could recall the drivers name - I can tell you that he is from Lithuania.
We had a longer layover at the Copenhagen airport so decided to use this tour as a way to get to know the city. I was traveling with my mother who has some limited mobility, so a walking tour would have been out of the question. As it turns out, the day was rainy and windy (pretty standard for Copenhagen from what I’m told), so having the comfort and warmth of the van was a great added bonus. I could recommend this tour group enough. The pickup and the drop off from the airport was seamless. Antonina, our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable. Her architecture background was an added bonus. Audrius, our driver, was a magician, somehow navigating through the narrow streets in what seemed to be defying the laws of physics. Overall, it was a great experience and one I would strongly recommend to anyone with a long layover in the airport, anyone who wants a weather-friendly experience or would have problems with a walking tour, and/or anyone who wants a more personalized experience.
We had a 3 hours tour In Copenhagen and we had so much fun and learn a lot about the history and daily life in the city and in Denmark. Luis was our guide and Audrius our driver. It was like spending time with friends!! Best tour in our trip around Scandinavia.
Luis was fabulous. Took us around to some places not on the stop. Also got to see the changing of the guards at the palace.
The tour was comfortable and informative. The bus was clean and modern. Our guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and provided a nice commentary on the history of the city. My guests were able to see the highlights of the city in a morning and they all mentioned they had enjoyed themsives.
Our guide Oskar was very considerate adjusting the time when the ship unexpectedly was held up with immigration requirements. He shared all the major highlights of the city he grew up in and we enjoyed his personal stories. It was a great introduction to Copenhagen. He was also very thoughtful of my 89 year old father. We had a fun afternoon!
The 12 of us was greeted with a bus instead of a van. We like the itinerary very much. It is a good one day in Copenhagen tour.
Excellent guide and driver. Comfortable van. Both spoke excellent English. Good overview of main attractions.
We absolutely loved our private tour of Copenhagen with Maria! She brought the city to life through fascinating history and memorable storytelling. Maria is an exceptional guide—warm, engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She answered every question with ease and kept us smiling the whole day. A special thank you to our wonderful driver, Peter, who went above and beyond. When my 83-year-old mother accidentally left her jacket in the van, Peter kindly returned it to our hotel—even after he had finished work for the day. Both Maria and Peter were gracious, professional, and truly made our day unforgettable.
Whitney did a great job of tailoring the tour to our interests in architecture. It was a great introduction to a truly wonderful city. We toured our first day of 8 eight days in the city and it was one of the highlights. It was great experience that we highly recommend.
Driver was great. Guide was difficult to understand and had a tendency to ramble on. I think the guide should have been better for the price.
Wonderful! My mother uses a walker and it was a stress free way to see the highlights of Copenhagen! It made for an enjoyable experience where we learned a lot and really felt like we saw a lot of the city! (Side note a lot of areas are cobblestone/bumpy so be aware of that if you have mobility issues!)
Oskar is extremely knowledgeable in Copenhagen history. He made our tour very interesting and well worth the money.
We had a great visit to all the main sites in Copenhagen with this tour. Our driver Max was excellent and our guide Anna was charming, considerate of our interests and very knowledgeable. She obviously loves the city and its history and gave us a wonderful insight to each of the sites we visited. We would highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and fun. She knew not only about the history of Copenhagen but present day.
We had a great experience with Whitney as our guide on Christmas Eve. We were looking for an overview of the city so that we could see everything and then decide what to go back to for more time on future days. Whitney was engaging, balanced the trip appropriately with walking and driving while keeping an eye on the stamina of our kids (9 and 7). and overall gave us a great time. Thank you, Whitney!
Before leaving Copenhagen, we took a private tour with Maria and Ivan our driver. Their tour was a highlight of our vacation. They had a great itinerary planned for us and were flexible with a change we suggested. Maria can answer any question about Copenhagen and Danish history. Both Maria and Ivan made the day both fun and informative. Loved this tour!
Tour guide Luis and driver Alex were both personable, engaging and generally awesome! Luis was so knowledgeable and provided the perfect amount of information. The 3 hr tour made terrific use of our day in Copenhagen.
We had a great time this Michael. We wanted to visit Krystal Gade and he made sure we got to see it.. he took us to some areas it the port area that showed us where the ships took off to the West Indies.
Luis was awesome. So knowledgeable and fun. Sara lot of sites and even the new garbage power incinerator. Had a fabulous morning. Probably one of the best tours we’ve had anywhere in the world. Luis made it.
Michael was an excellent guide, he knew the history, the places , and the best stops on Copenhagen to make our private tour complete , more importantly a great guide as Michael made us all, after the tour , love the city we knew thanks to his service
This tour was setup to help my parents seen some of the city but recognized that they wouldn't be able to walk all over town. The driver and tour guide did an amazing job taking us all over Copenhagen and allowing my parents to actually see some of the sites. They were patient and accommodating to our requests when we may have wanted to depart from the set itinerary. I couldn't have asked for a better guide and driver to help us on this tour and you should definitely consider this tour if you are ever in this situation.
Our guide and driver were great Personable and knowledgeable Very relaxing but rewarding giving us a great view of the city and history
The knowledge, experience, friendliness of our guide and driver in Copenhagen. Guide Miguel has encyclopaedic knowledge of Copenhagen; making the tour informative and bringing the city and country to life. The driver Nickolai worked well with guide. Very pleasant, helpful and friendly
The driver, Michael, was an exceptional guide whose interesting, informative commentary about a broad range of sites ensured I became familiar with the main places very quickly! He was particularly knowledgeable about a variety of historical, cultural and societal aspects of Copenhagen and ‘life in Denmark’. He was friendly, courteous and helpful. He easily stopped for any photo op as requested throughout the morning. I would definitely recommend a private car / guided tour as Michael was able to respond to all questions which would not usually be part of ‘tour’ on a bus; it was also very comfortable in the VW Passat! He also amended the route to take in as many places as possible within the time-frame. Likewise, he is available to do walking / cycling tours of that is your preference. I thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Copenhagen!
Whitney was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, we saw the highlights of the city, a nice mix of walking and driving. Great private tour for a first time visitor.
Difficult to understand tour guide. Very expensive for value given. Should have included shopping time.
Our private tour with Whitney was incredible. It was like touring Copenhagen with your friend. Her and her driver were full of so much incredible information. We visited all of the sites that we requested. It was a beautiful day! Christiania was a really,artsy and cool town. So glad she took us there. The driver really got up close to everything for us. She truly tailored this day for us. The power plant was really unique, so glad she included it. We ended the day inTivoli, that is truly must see location. It's where Walt Disney got his inspiration for Disney theme parks. There are shows, great restaurants, gorgeous flowers, etc. Our itinerary was:we drove by and visited Tivoli, the Arne Jacobsen designer SAS Hotel, then Axel Towers to the City Hall square. From there we went to Copenhill. Then we went to the hippie freetown Christiania. From there we drove around Christianshavn before crossing Knippelsbro where we saw the Parliament building, Christiansborg, and the recently burned 17th century stock exchange and the national Bank building which was Arne Jacobsen's last building. We made our way to the new harbor, Nyhavn, the King's New Square, and the department store Magasin du Nord, then over to the marble church, Amalienborg palace, and saw the Opera (or giant toaster if you prefer). After that, we went to the Gefion fountain and the little mermaid. After leaving there, we drove by the 17th century military housing, Nyboder, and Rosenborg Palace. Next was hipster heaven, the meat packing district, where we stopped for ice cream at Ismageriet. Our last stop was Tivoli. All in all if you truly want to see Copenhagen, do not hesitate. This was an amazing excursion. WHITNEY ROCKS!!!!
In spite of rain & freezing temp, Helen & driver did a good job of showing us Copenhagen. The tour was personalized and included our requests.
Great experience getting to see not only historic sites but also other neighborhoods. Loved all of the context and history from the guide!
Our guide Whitney was very knowledgeable and made our quick trip to Copenhagen fun! We were able to get to know the city and will definitely be back!
Michael is an excellent tour guide with a great sense of humor . I was disappointed to Lear’s that the tour was only 3.5 hours long , making it not worth the money It should be an all day tour in order to really take in the whole Copenhagen experience I woul not recommend this tour based on value olond
Michal and driver were great. Prompt, well-versed on city and history, interesting and offered sites a bit away from the norm which really enhanced our day tour. Stopped for Danish drinks and attempted to show us many of the recommendations we had prepared. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend. We needed to be picked up at the cruise terminal and the extra fee was well worth it. No mess, no fuss. Our only concern is that our specific requests were not relayed to Michal so we had to share with him our special needs.
Lutheran Church & fountains were nice. Lunch was also good. Traffic was bad but that wasn’t her fault.
We booked this trip to get better oriented when visiting Copenhagen. The tour guide, Una, was very professional and pleasant. As a bonus she took some excellent photos for us thoughout the visit . She tailored the tour to our needs an interests and, following our request, readily made changes to the itinerary. The driver, Christian, also made many insightful remarks about the sights visited. All in all it was an excellent introduction to the city.
Goeorge was incredible! A most charming, intelligent, engaging guide to a city that was rich with history! Facts were at is fingertips with dozens of stories that not only personalized this incredible country, but brought it to life. We are forever grateful for his knowledge and for meeting the best that Copenhagen has given birth to.
Our guide, Elena, was so knowledgeable, fun and flexible with the itinerary. We only had one full day in Copenhagen and I think we touched all the highlights thanks to our great guide. And thanks, too, to our driver, Julia.
Paul was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and had great insights about Copenhagen and it’s history. My wife has mobility issues and the tour was tailored to make it accessible and enjoyable for both of us. Our driver Inga did a great job and was very pleasant.
Really enjoyable and informative tour with a very knowledgable tour guide Anna. She was very able to cater to our needs with two elderly, reasonably immobile men too.
We did a private tour by car throughout Copenhagen when we visited in January 2020. The driver was punctual, pleasant, informative and cheerful for the whole tour. Took us to all the major sites around Copenhagen and drove us through the outer parts of the city. Three hours was just enough. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Jan, for a great tour of Copenhagen. It was great to be able to ask to see certain areas that were of interest. Jan had interesting facts that he pointed out. It really helped to orient us to the city and make plans based on his recommendations. HIghly recommended.
We traveled to Copenhagen by ship and I received an email the night before arriving in Copenhagen confirming our arrival in 2 days.... I had booked the tour for the wrong day. I emailed and called the tour operator, Irina, and she went out of her way to put the tour together for the next day. Our driver Ingre had been up since 4:30 in the morning driving to the airport. Despite the last minute arrangements, Ingre and Anne gave us a fantastic overview of the city. Thanks to everyone for going out of your way so we could have an enjoyable day.
La guía hablaba muy mal español. Bastante antipática y muy poca iniciativa. Se explicaba muy mal y costaba entenderla.
Excelente tour. Magnifica guia! Nos contó acerca de la realeza en forma muy agradable. Se nota su conocimiento como historiadora.y la visita fué muy completa! Gracias!
