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

On this tour, we will explore the most significant parts of Copenhagen. We see both the medieval part of town, but also take advantage of having a bus at our disposal and see the things that are a little further out - like the hippie community Christiania, the diverse district of Vestebro and much more We will explore the origins of Copenhagen, the era of the powerful kings, the reformation, the birth of democracy, and not least the modern life as it takes place in this old city, be it architectural high-lights, hippies, or new parts of town emerging. I have a wide area of interests that I can draw on, and from living abroad (in the US, Argentina and Germany), I can also put things into perspective. I thoroughly enjoy exploring Copenhagen, my native city, with visitors, and I look forward to make it the best possible day for you.

Jen’s was the best guide we have had for the last 3 weeks. His knowledge , his patience and his guidance was fabulous . We could have listened to him forever. Jen also made sure we got were we were going and never once made us feel stupid. Best guide ever on every level.

Jens was excellent with information, helping with adaptive scheduling, informing about cultural issues beyond just history. In addition, he made sure that our group of 8 was included in all interest points.

I would ABSOLUTELY use Jens again for a tour! We had a wonderful experience. He was flexible and accommodating, willing to make our personal tour match our needs. He was very knowledgeable and was able to give us all the highlights of Copenhagen in a short time. My children loved his bus driver with the Odin tattoo!!

Our party thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Jens, who was a great tour guide. He was also very flexible in accommodating our changing needs. This tour was our introduction to Copenhagen, and Jens' tour and information contributed to our overall enjoyment of the city. We hope to return, and when we do, we will seek another tour by Jens.
