Many years ago I came to Denmark from England because I was curious to find out why Danes were "The Happiest Nation on Earth". I am delighted to say that I found out and am willing to share this with you! Having fallen in love with Copenhagen, Denmark (and a Dane) I became fascinated by Danish history and culture; a passion which led me to become educated as a tour guide. With a background in the music business in London and later as a psychotherapist I am well qualified to listening and my guiding is always based around the interests and requirements of my guests. I am not an academic, there are other guides who are; if you want a tour filled with detail of Kings and dates then look elsewhere because what I offer is a viewpoint of Denmark and Copenhagen seen from the eye of a very interested Englishman. That said every day I continue to study the story of the Land of the Vikings. My favourite past-time is wandering the streets of Copenhagen looking for unusual routes and sights to show my guests. The buildings may be beautiful but they come alive with a story. Above all my aim is for you (and I) to have a entertaining and fun day whilst I share my love and knowledge of my wonderful adopted homeland. Authorised Danish Tour Guide. Educated at Roskilde University Most of my tours are on foot or bicycle.. Some of the cruise ship harbour out of the city and require transportation

    An outstanding tour experience from start to finish. Philip is deeply knowledgeable about Copenhagen's history and brought the city's major sites to life with real depth and context. What distinguished him from other guides we’ve used in the past was his willingness to go beyond the itinerary. Over tea, he engaged us in thoughtful conversation about Danish politics,...

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I had a very enjoyable few hours with you all. The generous tip was much appreciated - I bought a lovely rugby shirt which will look fine in Italy! Wishing you all a great summer and thank you for the recommendation. Best wishes Philip

    We had a very interesting and instructive tour with our guide Philip. We got a good overview of Copenhagen and Denmark in general and his knowledge about all kind of subject is remarkable (history, politics, food recommandations, etc..)

    Phillip was such a delight, the perfect guide to introduce us to Copenhagen. His depth of knowledge was truly impressive, bringing the city's history and vibrant culture to life with captivating stories and interesting facts.

    Philip was phenomenal. It began with prompt communication to arrange the tour and logistics. Based on his choices (with some welcome input from our group of 4) we set out for our walking tour which included notable sites and a ride on the metro. With his informative narrative, I really felt like I gained a sense of Copenhagen in our 4 short hours together. I would...
