As an educated sightseeing driver and taxi-driver, I perform all kinds of sightseeings and featured rides in the Copenhagen and Malmoe/Skaane area. BREAKING NEWS: I have invested in a Foldable wheelchair, and a Roller with a seat for resting … so for a minor extra fee, I can make sure that walking challenged can enjoy my tours even more. I have invested in a Mercedes EQV - electric zero emission - Luxury minivan, so no you can get the perfect tour and do something good for the climate at the same time. I can Accommodate up to 7 guests and a reasonable amount of luggage … please always ask regarding luggage. For me, no two tours are alike, I do of course have an itinerary to give you assurance that you're going to see it all. That being said, all my tours are adapted as we go, might be an adaptation to your special wishes or needs, slow it down, speed it up, or if you have preferences, these will be incorporated into the tour to make sure that you get maximum value for your money. I take big pride in only having 100% satisfied customers, and I go to great length to give you the best possible experience, and to make sure that you go home from Copenhagen with a positive, happy memory. I always make sure that all rides are adapted to your possibilities, abilities and wishes, and there will always be plenty of opportunity to take pictures and photos as we go along. Though I am a Copenhagen resident and Dane, I have lived 5 years in Malmo/Sweden and have a deep knowledge and the ability to give tours in Malmo and Skaane region focusing both on the history of the area and the modern culture and architectural scene of Skaane/Malmo. I have done a lot of heritage tours and have also (in most cases) the ability to find places of relatives that have migrated from Denmark/Skaane and to the rest of the world to give your tour an extra dimension. I am a trained Handicap driver and educated driver for children with special needs. My car only allows for non seated handicap, meaning that passengers must be able to use normal seats and get in and out of the car - assisted. For the BIG GROUP tour, transportation is a Mercedes 18 seater VIP bus.

Overview of your Copenhagen tour

This ride takes you on a spectacular private tour of the previous danish province of Skaane, now a part of Sweden. I have used my unique experience of more than 400 tours given and my love of the history of the region to put together this unique tour, that take you through "Ivans hood" in both countries. You get to see Hamlet Castle from its best side (the ocean) as we take the ferry to Sweden, and you will see amazing nature, 1000-year-old buildings, lots of historic sites and amazing buildings as well as amazing modern architecture and landmarks of modern engineering and ingenuity. remember your camera for this trip, you do not want to miss this opportunity to make some amazing vacation photos.

Our guide Ivan, offered some suggestions to alter the tour to our taste. We are so happy he did. The small church from 1030 was a really interesting site to visit, the medieval clock in Lund, and the old city center, the waterfront in Malmo, all very nice. But the ultimate, was the fishing village in Dragor Denmark. We were charmed by this very quaint and picturesque little village. The Lilac Flowers, the fresh strawberries, my wife will remember this forever! We have learned a professional guide can make a big difference in your vacation experience. Time is something you can not have enough of on a vacation, Ivan's extensive experience, is invaluable in making the most of your time available. He knows of hidden parking spots and access points that allow you to get the maximum out of your vacation.

Our first tour with Ivan was during Holy Week. He was upfront with me about the challenges with many places being closed for the holidays and needing the tour to be wheelchair accessible. The tour was absolutely seamless and if he hadn't told me of the obstacles, I would have never known. On our first tour, he told us about the shared history of Denmark and Sweden. Then he was able to show us as we navigated the area. The ferry ride between Denmark and Sweden was a great way to see the coastline.

spectacular day with Ivan! we requested an ancestry trip to 2 small towns in Sweden. He researched an itinerary to show us the region. Ivan's attention to detail was amazing He took everything into account and was flexible to anything that we needed. He spoke perfect English and KNOWS history. We learned a LOT in a most relaxed atmosphere, his Mercedes is very comfortable. He did everything he could to make our day amazing. We are very grateful, it was a great investment! very friendly, fun man

I took this tour as well as a day tour of Copenhagen with Ivan. He was awesome and was very flexible when it came to adjusting the tour for bad weather. I had a great time. I would highly recommend him.

This was my third tour with Ulrik. Each member of my family wanted to see something completely different: Hamlet, H.C. Andersen and even the Vikings, go figure! We each came away happy. The ferry ride, even though short, is worth it. The view is superb. Ulrik not only knows his stuff as a guide, but also is a very amicable fellow. His goal is to make sure that you are happy. Just let him know what interests you or let him guide you around, as you please. Either way, you don't want the tour to end.
