I am a native Copenhagener with a deep knowledge of Denmark. I have lived and travelled abroad extensively, and I really enjoy welcoming foreigners to the city I love so much. I both do walking tours in Copenhagen and bike or bus tours in or out of Copenhagen. My tours are always custom-designed to fit your interests and needs, and I hope you will experience that you both meet a local friend but also a deeply professional tour guide who really knows his city and culture and can put together a great tour and a great day/days for you. My interests span history over architecture and city planning to modern society and life in Denmark and beyond. I have guided professionally since 2014, but I also have a human resource background and a M. Sc. in Intercultural communication, and when I don't do guided tours, I teach Danish culture and Danish business culture to high-skilled foreigners coming to Copenhagen to work through my own company. Some of the low season, I also lead tours through Europe for an Australian company. Most of my tours in Copenhagen are walking tours, simply because it's the best way to explore inner Copenhagen and the surrounding districts - it's a compact city, and cars don't have a high priority, so walking (or biking) is the best way to get around the central parts of the city. (If you prefer biking or bussing instead of walking, that is also possible). For tours outside Copenhagen I mostly use a trusted bus driver and his bus, but I can also make (more economical) versions using public transport. I would like to give you a tour where you both see the Copenhagen highlights but also satisfy your curiosity of the modern life in Denmark, whatever your interests might be. During the longer tour, I like to include places where you can try a traditional Danish lunch - the "smørrebrød" (open faced sandwiches) - probably the most important addition from the Danish kitchen, and a thing I something do workshops in myself and like to present to guests. Apart from living in Copenhagen, I have spent 4-5 years living abroad (the United States, Argentina and Germany especially). I like to do outstanding tours and service, so if you need some help to plan the rest of your trip in Copenhagen before or after our tour, I am also happy to give advice. I really like meeting people from other countries, and hope to see you on one of my tours. MSc in Intercultural communication and management, university studies in Pennsylvania, USA and Buenos Aires, Argentina Official Danish tourist guide license from Roskilde University (one year full time studies) Broad and deep knowledge of Denmark, Europe and beyond - traveling, living abroad, and meeting people from different cultures have been my interest since childhood. I will not drive myself but hire a driver and van (or accompany you in your vehicle) on the tours that requires driving. (Both for insurance reasons and because I like to focus on the guiding).

Overview of your Copenhagen tour

Vesterbro is the area where the central station in Copenhagen is and beyond. However, most people leave with the impression that it is all about Tivoli, hotels - and the red light district! But beyond that, there is a thriving community of students, artists and everyday people with small galleries, independent design stores, a renovated Meat packing district and a wealth of nice cafés. And hipsters (recently crowned as the fourth most hipster area in the world by Thrillist). On this evening tour we will focus on the thriving food and beverage scene, but also give you an introduction to this fascinating part of Copenhagen. I have a wide area of interests that I can draw on, and from living abroad (in the US, Argentina and Germany), I can also put things into perspective. I thoroughly enjoy exploring my favorite part of town, and home through many years, Vesterbro with you.

In short, book this tour! We were in Copenhagen for a few days before setting sail on a cruise. The City is beautiful and walkable. After mapping out a couple of self-guided walking tours that would take us past many of the most-viewed parts of the City, we felt that this tour would-round out our visit. The guide (Jens) was easy to communicate with to reserve the tour. I will not go into the details of the tour, but the guide was knowledgable, efficient, and humorous. It was lovely. We ended with a tour of the Tivoli, which was unexpected and very fun. In retrospect, the only downside is that I did not invite him to eat with us in Tivoli. That would have extended an already great evening.

My wife and I had an exceptional experience when Jens was our tour guide around Copenhagen. He gave us a very personal, in depth and rounded view on the area of Vesterbro. I highly recommend a tour with Jens as he is extremely knowledgable and was great at explaining each area he took us to and why - he was a fantastic guide for our first time in the city!

Jens was a great answer after 22 hours of travel. Our 2 and 1/2 hour stroll around Copenhagen was informative and interesting involving both the history of the city and incite into current trends. My wheat beer at a microbrew was a highlight. The only lowlight was that I didn't have another. Can't wait to return and do it again. Kevin and Cathy

Our tour with Jens was brilliant, even though it was only for just a few hours. We decided to stay at Vesterbro, where Jens lived for many years and is a part of the city he knows well and likes very much. We walked quite a bit around the area and visited, even briefly, many places. He shared a lot of info and facts about the neighbourhood but also the Danish culture and way of life. Jens is an excellent guide and a great, easy to talk with person. Would definitely recommend a tour with him! A & A

Thanks to Jens for giving our family of four a very native perspective of Copenhagen. A great evening walk, time well spent on getting to know Copenhagen. Highly recommended.
