Visit the old and new parts of Copenhagen and sense the atmosphere of this laid back city. Discover why we are known as the world's happiest people. I love sharing knowledge about my home country and about Copenhagen, the city where I was born and where I live. Telling the history about old Denmark and showing the sights, the landscape and my favorite spots is what attracts me about being a tourist guide. I qualified as a tourist guide from the Tourist Guide Diploma Program at Roskilde University in 1996 and I have been teaching there too. In 2006, I obtained a Master degree in History from the University of Copenhagen. For a couple of years, I have lived and worked in England. I teach coming tourist guides at Nordic Guide Academy and I combine my work there with working as a freelance tourist guide in Copenhagen and with Copenhagen as a starting point. Having been a tourist guide for 25 years, I have extensive experience and I have guided for just one person as well as for larger groups and for people having many different nationalities as English is my guide language. It is always my aim to give a positive and memorable experience. I emphasize to show and to tell about both the old and the new Denmark and living conditions before and now. Most of my tours are walking tours and/or using public transport, as I wish to participate in a sustainable future for our planet. However, I also do tours by in and out of Copenhagen. Tours can be adapted to your specific interests, needs and time. I hope you will come to see why I love Wonderful Copenhagen! 1996 - Authorized Tourist Guide from Roskilde Univercity 2006 - MA History from Copenhagen University 2000 - Teacher at the Tourist Guide Diploma Program at Roskilde University 2013 - Founder and director of Danish Heritage Tours 2017 - 2020 Project Leader at Innovation and Development of Urban EcoTourism at Roskilde University 2024 - Teacher at Nordic Guide Academy I will not drive myself but hire a car or van with driver on the tours that requires driving.

Sights of interest for LDS members with Danish roots
Overview of your Copenhagen tour
300, 000 people immigrated from Denmark in the second half of the 19th century. Many of these had converted to the LDS Church and travelled the long way to Utah. On this 5-hour tour by car or minivan we will visit places of special interest for LDS members and I will explain about the immigration to America. As a historian and archivist, I have specialized in immigration and genealogy. The tour includes: - Copenhagen Cathedral with Thorvaldsen's original figure of Christ. - The sculpture Kristina made by Dennis Smith. - Outside visit at the LDS Temple in Frederiksberg. - Inside visit at Frederiksborg Castle to see the Carl Bloch paintings. The tour can be customized according to your preferences, please inquire. If you wish to visit the specific places in Denmark where your ancestors lived, I can customize a longer tour that also includes time for research.
Your Copenhagen tour itinerary
In Copenhagen we will visit the Copenhagen Cathedral to see the original version of Thorvaldsen's Christus, the 12 disciples and a beautiful baptismal fond. We will also make a photo stop by Kristina, a sculpture created by Dennis Smith showing his great grandmother that left for America. Close by, we can also stop to see The Little Mermaid. We will drive to the area Frederiksberg, where the Copenhagen Temple is located. From Copenhagen we drive north to visit the renaissance Frederiksborg Castle which now houses The Danish National Museum of History. We shall see the highlights such as The Chapel with the 400 year old Compenius organ, the King's private prayer room with the Carl Bloch paintings, the Audience Room and the Ballroom.
