Tour guide in Copenhagen Lavinia S.

Hello! My name is Lavinia, born and raised in Italy, I've been living in Denmark since 2014. When I first came here I was an outsider looking in, as you are perhaps, and I would love to guide you in understanding this wonderful country. Copenhagen is known for its fairytale atmosphere, from its fascinating medieval center, to the grand royal palaces, right alongside astonishing modern architecture. Together we will discover its history, from a Viking kingdom, to the modern country that it is today. We'll explore the everyday life of the Danes and we will try to unlock the secret to why Denmark is often ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. A little bit about me - I was born in Italy and I have always loved traveling and experiencing new cultures. I studied Intercultural Mediation, which allowed me to spend two semesters living in the United States, where I attended UNC at Chapel Hill. After finishing my studies in Italy, I moved to Copenhagen and I made it my home. I started working with the tourism industry in 2016, as a guide for cruise ship guests, and I quickly realized that I loved learning about the history of my adoptive country and sharing it with my guests! In 2020 I obtained my diploma for becoming a licensed tour guide in Denmark from Roskilde University. Since then I've been working with my own clients, big groups, company trips, individual travelers and families. . . I'm so happy to help anyone who wants to discover this beautiful country! I love creating itineraries and I'm always available for customizing your tour. I love the relaxed Danish way of life, and living in a city that has so much to offer, yet is still easy to navigate on foot or by bicycle. Copenhagen has the best museums, art galleries, vintage shops, bakeries. . . I just love everything about it and I know you will too! Authorized tourist guide from Roskilde University (2020). 5 years guiding experience. BA in Intercultural Communication and Interpreting from Bologna University. MA in Language Sciences and Language Teaching from Ca' Foscari University in Venice. I cannot drive guests, and I also can't arrange tours with drivers at the moment. I guide in English and Italian.
