Our meeting point, centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget. The largest square of the city, it was laid out by Christian V in 1670 in connection with a major extension of the fortified city, and has an equestrian statue of him at its centre. The initiative moved the centre of the city from the medieval area around Gammeltorv, at that time a muddy medieval marketplace, to a cobbled new square with a garden complex, inspired by the Royal city planning seen in Paris from the early 17th century. Important buildings facing the square include the Royal Danish Theater from 1874, the Charlottenborg Palace from 1671 (now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), the Thott Palace from 1683 (now the French Embassy), the Hotel D'Angleterre and the Magasin du Nord department store.

Rosenborg Castle is a renaissance castle located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The castle was originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606 and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural project
The Copenhagen Cathedral, today designed by the architect C.F. Hansen in Neo-Classicist style. The foundation stone was laid by King Frederik VI in 1817, and the solemn consecration took place on Whitsunday 1829. This site served a church since Bishop Absalon, the founder of Copenhagen, had a small chapel built on the premises. The original church was erected at the highest point in the town around 1200. The church has seen many important events throughout Danish history. This is where King Valdemar Atterdag gave away his nine-year old daughter Margrethe - later Queen Margrethe I - in marriage in 1363, in 1855 the funeral of Søren Kierkegaard, and in 2004, Crown Prince Frederik and Australian Mary Donaldson were married here. Inside we have Thorvaldsen's sculptures The statues of Christ and the twelve apostles. Above the altar, Christ extends his arms in a welcoming gesture, while the apostles watch from the sides of the nave. Judas has been replaced by Paul. Battle of Copenhagen In 1807, the cathedral was hit by a incendiary rocket during the British bombardment led by Admiral James Gambier and General Lord Cathcart. The bombardment resulted in the cathedral's burning down.
This emblematic oldest square in Copenhagen (Old Market) With adjoining Nytorv it forms a common space along the Strøget pedestrian street. While the square dates back to the foundation of the city in the 12th century, most of its buildings were constructed after the Great Fire of 1795 in Neoclassical style. Another dominating feature is the Caritas Well, a Renaissance fountain erected by King Christian IV in 1610. Also we find Nytorv (new square) Together with the adjoining Gammeltorv it forms large square in the pedestrian street, a dominated by the imposing Neoclassical façade of the Copenhagen Court House, which from 1815-1905 also served as the City Hall.

Julia shared her knowledge of Danish history and related sites. Great conversations and answers to our questions. She went out of her way to bring us to her favorite bakery. Personalized and fun experience.
It was just me and my fiancé on the tour and it was so cool! We were able to ask so many questions and got some amazing photos along the way! Our guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much of the history of Copenhagen. It’s hard to believe it was only 2 hours! The entry to Tivoli was awesome, our guide brought us in, gave us some maps and helped set us up with the ride ticket/ passes. Inside the park we rode 5 rides (2 of them twice) got food, and wandered around. Wich took us about 2.5 hours. This gave us plenty of time to get a nice dinner and be back at the hotel to rest up for our flight the next morning. The entire day was full of exploring and well structured
It was wonderful. Very informative, leisurely walk. Saw the changing of the guard at the King's castle. Loved Tivoli Garden!
We had a tour guide and just the two of us she was amazing so smart - great tour guide we learned a lot !
Absolutely fantastic. Cultural info that is a must to learn. Giving context of the city. Amazing tour guide! Highlight. Very patient with photo taking too. Knew just the right spots.
Magnificent tour with Felipe ( from Scandinavian tour) , informative, knowledgeable and very pleasant . Recommend it . Thank you
Our guide was very nice and accommodating to the needs of my mother who was in a wheel chair. We told her the things we wanted to see, and she tried to accommodate us. However, she was not native to Denmark, and this caused confusion and disappointment. She was very knowledgeable about the facts of the buildings and dates of history. However, she didn't know the insights that come from a local guide. She didn't speak Danish, so when we asked what something read on a billboard or sign, she had to look it up with a translation app. We could have done that. Quite disappointing. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was her lack of knowledge of The Church of Our Lady and Thorvaldsen's statues of the Christus and the Apostles. These statues were on our "must-see" list, and they were mentioned in the tour description. It was quite a distance for us to walk, especially pushing my mother in a wheel chair. Our guide dutifully led the way, but she wasn't quite certain how to get there from the location we were at because we deviated from the normal canned tour. We were there on a Sunday, and after the lengthy walk, we arrived to discover the Church wasn't open until after the tour was over. She should have known that. Also, she doubted that the Christus and Apostle statues were even there and suggested that they would be in a museum with Thorvaldsen's other works. Having been to Copenhagen before, I knew they were in the chapel. When we walked back after the tour was over, I had to reassure some of my group that the statues were definitely in the chapel, even though they weren't convinced because of the erroneous information from our tour guide. And yes, they were in the chapel. In the survey for this review, I said I would recommend this tour, because I believe the tour would be very good with a local guide. If you don't have a local guide, I would not recommend it.
There were very few memorable parts to this tour. I promote Viator to many people. I was disappointed in this tour. I would have preferred the guide, Vasco, to have introduced himself to me when I found him at the meeting place. There were 6 other people in our group, he did not have those in the group introduce themselves, which is a nice thing to do. The tour seemed very discombobulated. The guide seemed to be in a big hurry to get the tour finished. He walked very quickly and, left several of us catching up, while starting his speech before everyone caught up. I was disappointed in the over presentation of the tour. With a good map, a written dialogue, I could have done this on my own.
No memorable reviews here - you’re cancelled after the fact. No one even bothered to tell me & I was there 15 mins early. Not cool.
Wonderful guide!! Excellent presentation of information. He brought the Old Town to life with his stories and knowledge of the history. Very accommodating to all the needs in our group. We thoroughly enjoyed in and would recommend this tour with this guide to anyone.
We booked a group tour on the Scandinavian Guides website. There was a problem with the booking and we called/texted Luis. The group tour had been cancelled. He apologized for not advising us in advance but committed to find us an alternative in 30 minutes. He called and arranged for us to have a private guide, Jamie, meet us in 30 minutes. We met up with Jamie and had a great tour. Jamie was knowledgeable, friendly and had a good sense of humor. We saw people and places in the old town that we would have never seen on our own. Luis followed up several times to make sure we were satisfied. Luis was able to turn around a customer problem and skillfully made it a success. He took accountability and made it happen.
It seemed as though our guide had not done this tour before. While his commentary and direction during the tour was OK, he did not seem to have a broad sense of knowledge as there were some questions he was unable to answer. He had trouble accessing our Trivoli tickets, but eventually was able to retrieve them and get us checked in. He made no comment about Trivoli, he just got us checked in and that was that. Fortunately, I knew something about it and was able to educate the other couple, who knew absolutely nothing about it or what it was. Overall we were a bit disappointed, and felt that we did not get value for our money.
This was a truly amazing tour in large part because of our tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Razvan Paic was fabulous! Very knowledgeable and personable. We had an older individual in our group and he’s was very accommodating for her. Would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you’ll get a guide as good as ours! Never
Luis Sousa and his team are best, very engaged, enthusiastic and with the best disposition, the made our experience in Copenhagen beyond our expectations, absolutely recommended
Great day with an excellent and friendly guide Luis Sosa very professional..Excellent,punctual service, we had a really fun day worth coming back.. Thanks a lots!
I really enjoyed it. Very good driving.
We have visited 19 countries in Europe over the years and an infinite number of parks before. But our trip to Copenhagen to experience the Christmas market will be a memory of the worst of all visits. We were turned away at the entrance to the Christmas market on Tivoli park promenade because we have a dog, a 7, kg large Shitzu in company. Otherwise, we experienced streets and surroundings around the city center littered and also difficult to reach with a stroller. And anyone with reduced mobility should definitely avoid the destination. If you are also hungry, you must feed on beer and not be picky. Other places like Liseberg in Gothenburg or Mount Mikkeli in France, or Christmas markets in Germany have never been a problem in the company of pets to go outdoors among the "attractions". Zero rating to Copenhagen in general.
We were a large group on an organized trip and Luis was our Guide. He did his best to make us comfortable and enjoy the trip. He is a close and passionate person for his work, which was shown in his explanations of the culture and history of the city and Denmark. I recommend it.
I had to do the visit on foot but a Tripadvisor error and the great flexibility and understanding of the service provider allowed me to have an excellent time. I recommend that you call or write directly to the service provider to avoid any unpleasant surprises. I am disappointed with Tripadvisor because it is the 2nd problem I encountered during this trip and although mistakes are allowed, it is annoying to run in all directions and waste time. It’s a shame because in general, everything goes very well when booking via Tripadvisor.
Tour a piedi della città che permette di avere una visione globale della città e di conoscere la storia di Copenaghen. Viviane è stata un' ottima guida molto preparata che ci ha spiegato ogni punto della città e risposto ad ogni nostra curiosità sulla città. Grazie Viviane.
...Let's say that generally the city is clean and tidy as in the whole all the places of visit: the Tivoli Park is very nice as inside there are various musical nanifestìoni ..
Amazing old theme park in the heart of Copenhagen. There are everything from carousels of different kinds lots of different eateries. There is something for all ages and now in winter we should not forget the amazing lighting
Copenhagen is a very beautiful city... Fresh and cheerful... Made more jovial by the presence of this fairly large playground... well kept sin closed early... Great pass for all attractions at 32 euros
wonderful city of a thousand colors. Classic to see the famous colorful houses on the river from where all the boats that take you around town depart
Excellent service. Respectful attention. Polite and respectful and special guides. Nice and unforgettable moments. The temperature somewhat cold, but the warm personal attention is made to feel human quality.
