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 in China, Vietnam, Japan, Italy &amp; Hong Kong, giving talks/lectures about China, Vietnam &amp; Taiwan 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.

Two and a half day tour to Copenhagen

On this tour, you will see and hear about all the main attractions in Copenhagen.
The Palaces, the Gardens, the Churches, the Shopping Streets, and all the nice small squares that you would not find without me as a guide.

You will hear about 1000 years of Old History, the Vikings, the Wars and of course the Royal Family.

I was born and raised in Copenhagen, and have been a guide in Copenhagen for the past 12 years and know the City like the back of my hand.

Wonderful Copenhagen Walking Tour

My aim is to give you a unique, personal and memorable experience and that each tour will be different.

In the itinerary below I have chosen some places to visit, sites that I have been familiar with since my childhood. Places that I continue to revisit and can highly recommend.
