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.

Explore Danish royalty before and now
Overview of your Copenhagen tour
Denmark is the oldest kingdom in the world and King Frederik's family tree dates back to the Viking king Gorm the Old who lived more than a thousand years ago. Even though Denmark is a modern democracy, the monarchy is more popular than ever. During our city walk, you will learn more about the old Danish monarchy and the present royal family including my special inside knowledge. On our tour, you will see Amalienborg Palace and Christiansborg Palace (Parliament). Most important, we will go story hunting at one of my favorite castles: The 400-year-old Rosenborg set in The Kings Garden. I will tell you the stories about the world's oldest wine still being served, the king's bloody clothes exhibited, the royal affair that led to beheading, what is significant about the Order of the Elephant, what the details on Christians 4's beautiful crown with hundreds of diamonds symbolize, and why the Crown Jewels never leave Denmark.
