Let me share with you my passion for a good story, Danish history at its best and everything worth knowing about Danes, happiness and our renowned "hygge". I am an Authorised Guide graduated from Roskilde University and work as a full-time guide. I have lived in Copenhagen for most of my life but also lived in England for a long time allowing me to view Denmark both with the eyes of an insider and an outsider. I enjoy making history come to life. I may put the huge Danish Empire of the past back on the map, sometimes the Vikings come out complete with war paint, tattoos and dragon ships, or I may give my guests a real sense of the life of the Danish Royal family as it unfolded itself at the numerous royal palaces and castles. Whilst walking, cycling or driving around the back streets of medieval Copenhagen I enjoy creating a picture that appeals to the imagination and the senses of my guests; images that bring to life the carriages rattling over the cobbled streets, the hustle and bustle of city life and the distinctive character and smells of the old city. But what about Danes today? You might think that, being amongst the happiest people on the planet, Danes are walking around with a permanent grin on their faces. Well, no they are not but I will make sure that, by the end of our tour, you will know exactly what makes Danes so happy. In Copenhagen the absolute majority use bicycles and public transport to get around so naturally most of my tours are on foot or bicycles. Should you prefer to travel by car I will arrange for a car with a professional driver to take us around the city or further afield to visit the royal castles North of Copenhagen or Roskilde with its cathedral and Viking Ship Museum. Some Swedes think that Danes are untrustworthy anarchists. True or false? We could nip over to Sweden to re-visit old Danish territory and learn what the Swedes are like! Should you not quite find what you are looking for in my list of tours just let me know and I will tailor-make a tour just for you.

    The city tour was delightful. My guide, Susanne, arranged for sunshine. She tailored the trip to my interests in art and architecture and took me to charming and out of the usual tourist places. She is highly recommended for her knowledge and sense of humor.

    Susanne surpassed the enjoyment she provided on our first tour of Copenhagen. Her friendliness, knowledge and lively intelligence enhanced our encore visit to be better than the original. Suzanne arranged an informative visit to Rosenborg Castle with extensive commentary about Christian IV. She adjusted our tour plans, due to my knee issues, so we could see the city...

    We requested a highly personalized tour with Suzanne. She bent over backwards to make our trip of a lifetime. Fabulous. She arranged for a car and driver to take us to the town where my mother grew up and to the church where my grandmother was buried. She also took us the Louisiana Art Museum. She was so knowledgeable and very interested in making sure we had the perfect...

    Hi Joan and Steve, It was a delight and I really enjoyed sharing such a special day with you. It was one of those tours that I will always remember. I hope you are enjoying a sunny day out in Copenhagen and that you have the most wonderful cruise around Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Norway. All the best Susanne
