Once a history teacher, now a passionate guide uncovering Copenhagen's hidden stories and scenic wonders since early 2014. Welcoming countless tourists and schoolchildren, my tours aren't about endless facts and figures, but about discovering the tales tucked behind facades and in hidden alleys. A guided tour is an experience—a resonating story—and Copenhagen is brimming with such tales. Themes like Hans Christian Andersen's legacy or pivotal periods like the 1600s, marked by King Christian IV's grand constructions, offer captivating journeys. Best explored on foot or bike, Copenhagen's charm is its compactness, making almost every corner accessible even on short visits. Opt for the 'Hafnia' tour for a comprehensive introduction or let's tailor one that fits your interests. Public transportation also offers an excellent way to explore. Explore the suggested tours for inspiration, and I look forward to welcoming you to wonderful Copenhagen!" Qualified schoolteacher with 18 years experience - main subjects: danish, history and social studies. A seasoned storyteller - "Storyteller of the month" for april 2017 as selected by the "Storytellers in Denmark" Association. I do not drive and only on rare occations do I arrange tours by car or bus.

    Mads is an expert tour guide. I highly recommend him for your tour of Copenhagen. He is a lifelong resident and a former high school history teacher so is very knowledgeable about Copenhagen’s long history. His English is perfect and he has many amusing antidotes of former kings and their families. As a group of 4 who are interested in history, Mads was the best. He...

    Mads was drafted at the last minute to substitute for another guide that needed to cancel. He was flexible in creating an itinerary that closely matched our original booking. He was easy to communicate with and showed us around downtown Copenhagen with a deep knowledge of the city.
