Let me show you beautiful Copenhagen! As a tour guide and travel writer, my passion is sharing this fantastic city with travelers from all over the world, hoping they'll fall in love with it as much as I have. Originally from Canada, I spent several years traveling the world working on board cruise ships - I have visited over 60 countries and countless cities, but I chose to make Copenhagen my home. When you see it for yourself, you'll know why! I never tire of exploring Copenhagen and discovering its secrets, and of course enjoying the food! My love of the city shines through in my tours, and my enthusiasm is contagious. Each tour is designed to help you get the most out of your time in Copenhagen by showing you both the most famous sights and the hidden gems, while giving you insight into Danish history and culture. My favourite way to see Copenhagen is on foot, so that we can explore the quaint cobblestone streets, stroll the sprawling gardens and scenic canals, and pop into interesting places to take a peek. The best thing about taking a private tour is that it's created to suit your preferences, so just let me know if you'd like yours to be customized, or if you just have any particular interests. We can always veer off the beaten path, or just take a break in a local café and have a chat about whatever interests you. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have, and provide recommendations for what to see, do, and eat during the remainder of your stay. I hope you'll join me for a tour so I can share wonderful Copenhagen with you. 10 years as a full-time private tour guide in Copenhagen - Travel writer for Lonely Planet - 8 years travelling the world working with Princess Cruises I am not a driver myself but am happy to arrange a vehicle and driver for the tour for an additional cost, if requested prior to booking.

Overview of your Copenhagen tour

Let me take you beyond the postcards to some of my favorite hidden gems of Copenhagen. If you have already seen the main sights, are planning to explore them on your own, or are looking to go off the beaten path, this is the tour for you. On this intriguing 4-hour walking tour, I will take you through the charming cobblestone streets of the oldest part of Copenhagen. We'll start with a stroll through the colorful Latin Quarter, as we set off to discover places most tourists might miss as I share the fascinating stories behind them. Explore picturesque squares, historic buildings, and hidden gardens and courtyards, discovering the details you might otherwise miss. Along the way, you'll hear tales of kings, geniuses, traitors, and more that will make Copenhagen's old town come to life. We can also stop into a local bakery for a Danish pastry and a cup of coffee.

Caroline did an outstanding job...a pleasure to have lead us on a tour of Copenhagen. She led us to where we wanted to visit and then added a multitude of wonderful places in the city. All the while she gave us a great history of the city and explained many wonderful aspects of current day life. I would highly recommend her without reservation.

We had an enjoyable tour of the old city with Caroline. She was able to start at our hotel, (our hotel was close), and she asked questions to create a tour to our interests. At first I thought 4 hours would be a bit long, but it did not seem that long at the end. Copenhagen is flat, very easy to walk, and with a coffee break in the middle, it was a very easy and informative tour.
