Hi, I’m Kiran! Welcome to Denmark! I’m a licensed local guide and I’ve been living in Denmark for the past seven years. I originally came from India, and over the years Denmark has become my home. I love sharing both sides of my experience — the Denmark that visitors come to see, and the Denmark that people who live here know and enjoy every day. As your guide, I want you to feel comfortable, relaxed and curious. I don’t believe in simply walking from one sight to another and giving you a list of dates and facts. I like to share the stories behind the places, explain Danish culture in a simple way, and show you little things that you might otherwise miss. Whether you are visiting Copenhagen for the first time, arriving on a cruise, interested in Danish history and culture, or simply want to experience the city like a local, I will be happy to show you around. I can guide you in English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. Come explore Denmark with me — at a comfortable pace, with good conversation, interesting stories and a local perspective!

Overview of your Copenhagen tour
Discover the heart of Copenhagen on this engaging walking tour that begins at the majestic Christiansborg Castle—home to royal grandeur and Danish democracy. Stroll past the statue of Bishop Absalon, the city’s founder, and pause at the charming Stork Fountain on lively Strøget. Wander through Europe’s longest pedestrian street, soak in the atmosphere at Kongens Nytorv, and end at the colorful Nyhavn harbor. From there, relax and take in the city from the water with a scenic canal cruise past iconic landmarks. A perfect blend of history, culture, and classic Copenhagen charm!
