I am Michael, 66 years old native born Copenhagener. Throughout my life, and especially since I started as a taxi driver some 36 years ago, I have always loved Copenhagen and the special vibe the city has to it. I often make good use of the many cultural venues Copenhagen has to offer, and quite often enjoy the amazing food scene in Copenhagen being it for a good cold cocktail or a nice evening dining with the love of my life. I am trained and certified as a Sightseeing driver. The combination of being a Taxi driver and tour guide gives me the big advantage to use all my skills and knowledge of every little corner and nook in Copenhagen to give exceptional sightseeing tours. Through my involvement with ToursByLocals I have found the perfect balance between easy standard bookings with all the ease and security that ToursByLocals offers, but also the possibility of making and adapting my tours to give all my guests a unique top of the line experience in Copenhagen. My car is a fully electric Mercedes e-Vito, fully airconditioned off course and with room for up to 8 persons - I do not recommend more than 7 though since comfort in second front seat suffers a bit. I am not arrange any bus tour for big groups over 8 passengers. I am trained in adding disabled people, though I can only do tours with guests that can get in and out of the car by own force, assisted if needed and only using foldable wheelchair, and I can carry a serious amount of luggage so I can also offer to combine sightseeing and Airport/cruise boat transfer. I hope to also be able to do a tour with you and show you the gems of our wonderful Copenhagen. 37 years of experience as taxi driver with professional driver's license. Certified Sightseeing Taxi Drver. * I have limited access to certain museums as a guide, please ask me which one you would particularly like to visit. * The car can handle up to 8 people, but on seat no. 7 and 8 beside me in front, there my advice they need to be maximum 5,5 feet high because long legs would feel pressed

Private tour in an electric minivan, visiting to 2 castles, art museum and more!
Overview of your Copenhagen tour
We start by heading north to the castles and along the way I narate over the history of Denmark and the background of the castles, and what we are going to see today. Northern Zeeland has always been a cornerstone in danish history an almost all of our kings and queens since 14th hundred have lives in castles in the area. Today the area is known as "uptown" Copenhagen which shows from all the amazing houses, farms and castles in the area. Main focus for the tour is the famous UNESCO heritage site Kronborg Castle, better know for being the backdrop for Sheakspeares Hamlet. We visit the Fredericksborg Castle, originally founded around 1200 … rebuild and finished by king Christian IV around 1600 as one of the biggest still existing Dutch renaissance Castles in Europe. Tour is easy adaptable as we also pass small rural towns, Louisiana art museum, Technical museum and the Maritime museum next to Kronborg. Tour is well pecan and balanced and we do have time for a lunch break
