This was our final tour during our trip to Scandinavia, and it did not disappoint! That said, this is probably a good one to start with in Copenhagen. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything in the description was fulfilled, and the portions offered were good sizes (no single bites like on other tours). There is a lot of walking involved if that is a concern/challenge.
It was a locket small group, Amazinh conversations with the Guide and the participants
Jonathon was soo good, respectful and knowledgeable gave some history to certain areas which was good. Food tasting where really good and yummy. Great job Jonathon.
It was amazing!!!! Come hungry and be ready to explore a very thoughtful selection of Copenhagen’s finest. I appreciated the intention behind each stop. We didn’t just have smorrebrød; we dined at a 130 year old institution. We didn’t just have a Danish street hot dog; we had an organic, herb-flavored hot dog on a homemade sourdough bun. I love this company. I love its pillars (organic, locally sourced ingredients. You can TASTE the difference). Our guide, Bonnie infused the tour with her personal anecdotes and informative rhetoric. She is awesome. This is THEE tour of Copenhagen. Go if you can!!
Overall, a really enjoyable and well-balanced food tour! We had a great group, and I appreciated the comfortable walking pace and our guide’s willingness to answer questions along the way. I would have loved a few more historical tidbits or fun facts sprinkled throughout to add a little more context to the experience. The food tastings were all delicious and offered a great introduction to Nordic cuisine. And let’s be honest, Copenhagen is expensive when it comes to dining, so this is a fantastic way to sample a variety of local dishes without committing to (or paying for!) a full meal at every stop. One thing worth mentioning, especially for fellow solo travelers, is that the sit-down lunch involves sharing a meal with another guest. Personally, I didn’t mind, but I do think that should be communicated upfront so people know what to expect. I also appreciated that wine was included with that meal, which was a nice touch! All in all, a great experience with good food, good company, and a relaxed pace. Definitely worth considering if you want to explore Copenhagen through its food!

This was a genuine and lovely introduction to the food culture of Copenhagen. The guide was very insightful, kind, and happy to answer questions about all things Danish! They were very sensitive to food allergies and restrictions. The group size was just small enough it didn’t feel awkward walking through the city. Highly recommend, particularly for first-timers looking for a starting point for their Copenhagen experience.

Jonatan was friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasant! The tour took us to great places and pacing was good.
Anne was an excellent guide, and this tour was a particularly enjoyable way to experience Copenhagen. The selection of tastings was thoughtfully varied, ranging from cheese and traditional open-faced sandwiches to Danish cinnamon rolls, beer, hot dogs, handmade hard candy, and chocolate. What made the tour especially worthwhile was the context Anne provided along the way. She was knowledgeable and engaging, and she explained not only what we were tasting, but also how the different foods fit into Danish culture and tradition.

A memorable and genuinely enjoyable experience, and one I would readily recommend to anyone who wants an introduction to Copenhagen that goes beyond the usual sightseeing.
