I'm Henrik B., your private tour guide in Copenhagen

Guide #39789

A Danish anthropologist and global adventurer. I provide you with a customized, personal and memorable experience in Denmark, where I am born and raised. Being a local with a long overseas experience (25 years in Asia, America and Africa) has given me the capacity to have a good feel for what makes Europe, Denmark and Copenhagen exiting for a visitor. I live in the central Østerbro neighbourhood of Copenhagen. Whenever I have some free time, I enjoy riding bicycle or hiking in the beautiful nature surrounding Copenhagen and to explore natural, cultural and historical places. I divide my time between being a tour leader to Asian countries, giving lectures about China, Taiwan, Cambodia and Vietnam and being a ToursByLocals guide in Copenhagen plus a few other things. I am very open to customizing tours to suit your specific interests. My aim is to give you a unique, personal and memorable experience of Copenhagen, Zealand, Southern Sweden or beyond and that each tour will be different. You can either book one of my published tours or send me a message and let me know what your interests are and I will customize a private tour matching your needs. We can go by private car, public transportation, bicycle or foot. We can explore nature or places of cultural and historical interest. Or maybe you are interested in seeing how the local people live? If you choose to go by car I will be your driver as well as I am licensed with a professional drivers license.

    This was the first of two wonderful days we spent with Henrik. We saw so many amazing sights on this tour - Viking Museum, Roskilde Cathedral, Dragor, Frederiksborg Palace - and stopped for a lovely lunch and some ice cream. Henrik is warm, kind, welcoming, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. He was wonderful and patient with our kids. Honestly, Henrik...

    Henrik was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed our day with him. He was so flexible and customized our day to meet our goals. We were looking for the town in Southern Sweden where our family immigrated from and he took us there. We were able to visit the church where our great grandfather was baptized and it was an amazing cathedral with a rich history that we were unaware...

    Thank you for the review James! It was a very interesting day in the northeastern parts of Swedens Skåne County. You were your great company. An adventurous day completely off the beaten track!

    This was our second day touring with Henrik. This is a great tour for kids or for anyone who wants to spend a few hours outside of the city on some lovely walks. Henrik made the day so enjoyable and he's great with kids. Highly recommend!

    Thank you for the review Lymari! I often think back on the two days with the six of you both to northern Zealand and to the Forgotten Giants. It was a great pleasure spending two days with you and your family. Glad that you enjoyed the tour!

    Henrik is such a fascinating fellow! I would recommend booking a tour with him even if you just sit in a coffee shop together and listen to his stories! He’s a wealth of knowledge about Copenhagen, and knows about all of the secret back alleys and passages if you want that picture no one else has. I think you’ll have a great time!
