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

Copenhagen and Denmark have so much to offer. A history, old medieval cities and buildings going 1000 years back, a modern city at the forefront of sustainable energy, locally sourced cuisine, architecture, design, welfare system, and more. The concrete tour described here is two days to optimize the time for first-time visitors to Denmark. The first day a six-hour walk in the modern and old city center of Copenhagen and an introduction to Denmark, including a visit to try a Danish lunch, and on the second day, an 8-hour bus tour with our own driver to explore the most interesting sights outside Copenhagen. The tour is, like all my tours, adjusted to your wishes, and if you like it differently, or add more days to go explore, even more, let me know and I will come up with a suggestion. I have a wide area of interests that I can draw on, and from living abroad I can also put things into perspective. I look forward to help making this an experience you will never forget!

Jens, thank you so much for the 2 day tour. Everyone had a great time and after our cruise we were able to do the canal tour and had lunch in Nyhavn, and of course we had the smorrebrod . We highly recommend Jens as a guide. Thanks again, it was a highlight of our trip.

We spent a great three-day private tour with Jens. We had an excellent tour of Copenhagen in the first day in which Jens wee beyond the tour itself allowing us to have a good understanding of Denmark as a country, including its history and politics. In the second day, we visited Roskilde where Jens demonstrated a great knowledge of the history of its Cathedral and Vikings. We finished the third day with a great tour in Elsinore and Hillerod and their castles. We highly recommend Jens for a private tour.

We spent 3 MARVELOUS days touring the beautiful city of Copenhagen. We found Jene to be be EXTREMELY, professional, courteous and was a pleasure to spend time with learning about the rich history and culture of Copenhagen and Denmark. He had a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share it with us. He had a wonderful way of also integrating his life experiences into the history and culture, which we also found very interesting. We are experienced international travelers and would highly recommend Jene.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Bus

Transportation Method: Bus and walking. Central Copenhagen is best done by walking for most groups since things are close to each other, whereas exploring the areas outside the city is best done by our private bus. The suggestion is therefore to use the first day on foot in Copenhagen (6 hours), and the second day outside the city in bus (8 hours). But it's a customised tour, so ask me about changes.

What's included
Other: Entrances to Tivoli Gardens (normal price 20 EUR p.p.) for up to 5 people, if Tivoli is open and you wish to go. A personal printed guide to the guide’s suggested best cafés, restaurant, and bars to be explored after your tour. A personal guide on "suggestions on what to do after a tour with me"! A good map of the city.
