Trained as an authorized tourist guide in Copenhagen, and now living in the province gives me a unique opportunity to arrange your tour in Denmark. From my studies in the capital I know most of the strets and the great and secluded places in Copenhagen, but I now consider myself lucky to live in the pensinsula of Jutland in the western part of Denmark. Denmark is the oldest kingdom in the world and here in the area we have some of the most significant proofs on that. The oldest town in Denmark, Ribe from 700 AD and Jelling, the first Unesco World Heritage site in Denmark as well as Christiansfeld, a candidate to become World Heritage. The history of Denmark is important for the way we feel as Danes today. Whereever you are in Denmark, you'll experience stories about the vikings, about our kings over the centuries and you will see beautiful cities, towns and landscapes. I have conducted guided tours in most part of Denmark. In Copenhagen as well as Dragør, the old fishingvillage only 7 miles away from the city as well as to Roskilde with the cathedral and the fascinating vikingships. On Funen to Odense, the birthplace of our great fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen and to the castle Egeskov, which is almost a fairytale castle. In and around Aarhus with it's fantastic artmuseum, Aros as well as the openair museum Den Gamle By and also to the Lake District and the site of the viking fortress Fyrkat. And my own area with Ribe and Jelling as well as the fantastic ruin castle in Kolding and biking- and walkingtours in the beautiful hilly landscape of Eastern Jutland. So welcome to Denmark; I am looking forward to arranging a tour for you; look at the suggestions on the site and ask for customizing a tour especially for you! I'll be looking forward to tell you these and many other stories. . . . Authorised Tourist Guide Qualified School Teacher - Due to licence and insurance issues I cannot act as driver/guide.

Aarhus was founded in the viking age and holds a great, and very small, on-site exhibition from the viking age. From there we walk up through history by visiting the impressive Cathedral of Aarhus; the longest and tallest church in Denmark. Its construction began in the year 1190. Further up in history we enjoy a visit to the most extensive Open Air Museum in Denmark; Den Gamle By; like a town in the town. The Museum holds houses and exhibitions from the 1700-1800'ds, from early 1900 and from 1974!! Yes, you read the year correctly; my childhood is now history. In the main season activities from days passed by, taking place here. At the end of our historic line we walk up the stairs and take a walk in the famous Olafur Eliasson installation: "Your rainbow panorama" with a beautiful view over the town, This is at ARoS Art Museum; one of the largest art museums in Europe
We were a party of six and Poul took fantastic care of us. We would give him a 10 if we could. He is a positive reflection on Tours By Locals and knows a great deal on Aarhus. We could only stump him once on a very obscure question! He took all of our questions in stride and was fun to spend time with. We highly recommend Poul should you seek a tour guide in Aarhus! You will not be disappointed.
We had a wonderful time with Poul! He was fantastic! We had great communication prior to our private tour knowing where and when to meet him. He was also very knowledgeable and personable. He went out of his way to assist our dear friend who is elderly and in a wheelchair. We were able to see all the places we wanted to plus some extras based on Poul's recommendations including our lunch spot. We would definitely recommend him and would use him again. Thanks again for the wonderful tour we enjoyed!
