Trained as an authorized tourist guide in Copenhagen, and now living in the province gives me a unique opportunity to arrange your tour in Denmark. From my studies in the capital I know most of the strets and the great and secluded places in Copenhagen, but I now consider myself lucky to live in the pensinsula of Jutland in the western part of Denmark. Denmark is the oldest kingdom in the world and here in the area we have some of the most significant proofs on that. The oldest town in Denmark, Ribe from 700 AD and Jelling, the first Unesco World Heritage site in Denmark as well as Christiansfeld, a candidate to become World Heritage. The history of Denmark is important for the way we feel as Danes today. Whereever you are in Denmark, you'll experience stories about the vikings, about our kings over the centuries and you will see beautiful cities, towns and landscapes. I have conducted guided tours in most part of Denmark. In Copenhagen as well as Dragør, the old fishingvillage only 7 miles away from the city as well as to Roskilde with the cathedral and the fascinating vikingships. On Funen to Odense, the birthplace of our great fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen and to the castle Egeskov, which is almost a fairytale castle. In and around Aarhus with it's fantastic artmuseum, Aros as well as the openair museum Den Gamle By and also to the Lake District and the site of the viking fortress Fyrkat. And my own area with Ribe and Jelling as well as the fantastic ruin castle in Kolding and biking- and walkingtours in the beautiful hilly landscape of Eastern Jutland. So welcome to Denmark; I am looking forward to arranging a tour for you; look at the suggestions on the site and ask for customizing a tour especially for you! I'll be looking forward to tell you these and many other stories. . . . Authorised Tourist Guide Qualified School Teacher - Due to licence and insurance issues I cannot act as driver/guide.

    Great, in-depth tour walking around Ribe and discovering hidden gems. We climbed the Cathedral tower and also visited St Catherine's - learning about the monastic history and visiting the courtyard. Also walked down hidden alleys and bridges, saw the canals, shops. We came away with a great appreciation for the city. Highly recommend the tour.

    Great tour in Odense! We got to know the town and see the homes that Hans Christian Andersen lived in as a child and growing boy. The new HCA museum is impressive! I can highly recommend this tour while in Odense.

    A very enjoyable day. Christiansfeld was a lovely town and well worth the visit. A great day for visitors to get a snapshot of Fredericia and the surrounding area. Paul adapted the tour to meet my limited mobility needs and there was no problem for me and my mobility scooter. Highly recommended guide.

    We were a party of six and Poul took fantastic care of us. We would give him a 10 if we could. He is a positive reflection on Tours By Locals and knows a great deal on Aarhus. We could only stump him once on a very obscure question! He took all of our questions in stride and was fun to spend time with. We highly recommend Poul should you seek a tour guide in Aarhus!...

    The weather on the Day of Ascension where churches, shops, viking museum were closed created a warm and good background for our exploration of Aarhus. Thank you for participating.
