I am a Professional Chauffeur Guide with a three decades long experience with hospitality and passenger transportation. I have worked in 4 & 5 star hotels, and as a professional chauffeur both in Copenhagen and New York City. As a former resident of New York, having travelled to 35 U. S. states, and with relatives spread out all across America, I have a special fondness for welcoming North American travellers with open arms, and showing them what the Danish concept of "Hygge" is all about. I am passionate about showing every visitor around my beloved home city of Copenhagen, and indeed all of my beautiful native Denmark. I am very easy going, always happy, upbeat, inspired, and inspirational. I am the son of artists, and love the arts, design, and architecture.

I cannot wait to welcome you, and show you my beautiful city and country! Velkommen til Danmark!

400 Years of Jewish Life in Denmark – From Royal Invitation to Modern Society
Overview of your Copenhagen tour
Travel beyond the highlights and discover one of Europe's most inspiring stories of courage, compassion, and hope on this private chauffeur-guided tour. Over approximately six hours, we'll explore more than 400 years of Jewish history in Denmark—from the arrival of the first Jewish families in the 17th century to the extraordinary rescue of nearly all Danish Jews during the Nazi occupation in October 1943.
