Once a history teacher, now a passionate guide uncovering Copenhagen's hidden stories and scenic wonders since early 2014. Welcoming countless tourists and schoolchildren, my tours aren't about endless facts and figures, but about discovering the tales tucked behind facades and in hidden alleys. A guided tour is an experience—a resonating story—and Copenhagen is brimming with such tales. Themes like Hans Christian Andersen's legacy or pivotal periods like the 1600s, marked by King Christian IV's grand constructions, offer captivating journeys. Best explored on foot or bike, Copenhagen's charm is its compactness, making almost every corner accessible even on short visits. Opt for the 'Hafnia' tour for a comprehensive introduction or let's tailor one that fits your interests. Public transportation also offers an excellent way to explore. Explore the suggested tours for inspiration, and I look forward to welcoming you to wonderful Copenhagen!" Qualified schoolteacher with 18 years experience - main subjects: danish, history and social studies. A seasoned storyteller - "Storyteller of the month" for april 2017 as selected by the "Storytellers in Denmark" Association. I do not drive and only on rare occations do I arrange tours by car or bus.

A walking tour through the life, works and passions of Denmarks greatest philosopher
Overview of your Copenhagen tour
Søren Kierkegaard is known around the world for his philosophy. And rightly so. But did you know when or where he lived? Who he loved, who he hung out with? Fought with? Why he at one point wrote about his birthplace with love oozing from every penstroke and later bitterly exclaimed "This city is ruined for me!"? This tour takes you through the streets that Denmarks greatest mind tirelessly walked throughout his life. I first met Kierkegaard as a young man, and was very confused. I still am, but luckily the story is fascinating, just like the man himself, and gives us a great insight into the Copenhagen that once was. You don't need to be a philosophy professor to enjoy this. I'm not.
