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 visit all the main sights of central Copenhagen. We will explore the quaint medieval part of town, as well as the majestic northern part where we'll see such things as Amalienborg where the queen lives, the Marble church, the iconic Nyhavn (New Harbour), and much more, depending on your interests, weather, our speed, etc. On a more thematic level, we will explore the origins of Copenhagen, the era of the powerful kings, the reformation, the development of democracy, and where that has led us up till today, the harbor, and not least modern life as it takes place in this old city, be it architectural high-lights or the biking culture. As your guide, I would love to share my native city with you, but also my experiences working for the city and national government. After years of living abroad, and teaching Danish culture to outsiders, I can show you Copenhagen and Denmark from a broader perspective.

Jens was awesome. We were going the entire time and covered so much of the city. It is exactly what we wanted! He is very engaging and conscious of our needs and interests. His knowledge of the city and its history was beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend a tour from him. We have nothing negative to say.

We feel lucky that we found Jens to show us around Copenhagen. It was easy booking with him and discussing our plans. After the tour, he also provided more information to us. The actual walking tour was quite comprehensive and we covered a lot of ground. We saw so many interesting and important places. He’s a great source of information as we learned a lot about both past and present. He’s fun to be with,flexible and patient.. It was a wonderful tour that would be anyone’s best choice for seeing and learning about Copenhagen and Denmark.

Our guide Jens was fantastic! His knowledge and the things he shared with us was wonderful. We not only saw a lot of important spots in the city but just as importantly we got a great feel for the history of the country and its people as well as the current culture. He took us to an incredible lunch place we would have never found as well as a great place for danishes and helped us order traditional danishes. Couldn’t recommend him any higher!

What a fantastic way to see Copenhagen. Jens was absolutely fabulous, and we spent the entire day with him discovering this beautiful city. We particularly loved seeing the city from a local's perspective, and what a treat the Christiansborg Palace reception rooms were! Great communication when planning the day's itinerary. Highly recommend you booking with Jens. You won't be disappointed.
