Trained as an authorized tourist guide in Copenhagen, and now living in the province gives me a unique opportunity to arrange your tour in Denmark. From my studies in the capital I know most of the strets and the great and secluded places in Copenhagen, but I now consider myself lucky to live in the pensinsula of Jutland in the western part of Denmark. Denmark is the oldest kingdom in the world and here in the area we have some of the most significant proofs on that. The oldest town in Denmark, Ribe from 700 AD and Jelling, the first Unesco World Heritage site in Denmark as well as Christiansfeld, a candidate to become World Heritage. The history of Denmark is important for the way we feel as Danes today. Whereever you are in Denmark, you'll experience stories about the vikings, about our kings over the centuries and you will see beautiful cities, towns and landscapes. I have conducted guided tours in most part of Denmark. In Copenhagen as well as Dragør, the old fishingvillage only 7 miles away from the city as well as to Roskilde with the cathedral and the fascinating vikingships. On Funen to Odense, the birthplace of our great fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen and to the castle Egeskov, which is almost a fairytale castle. In and around Aarhus with it's fantastic artmuseum, Aros as well as the openair museum Den Gamle By and also to the Lake District and the site of the viking fortress Fyrkat. And my own area with Ribe and Jelling as well as the fantastic ruin castle in Kolding and biking- and walkingtours in the beautiful hilly landscape of Eastern Jutland. So welcome to Denmark; I am looking forward to arranging a tour for you; look at the suggestions on the site and ask for customizing a tour especially for you! I'll be looking forward to tell you these and many other stories. . . . Authorised Tourist Guide Qualified School Teacher - Due to licence and insurance issues I cannot act as driver/guide.

This fascinating fortified town has been my workplace for several years. Now our daughter lives in Fredericia, and we have together walked kilometres on top of the ramparts overlooking the town. Don't be frightened of a walking tour; our daughter has got rheumatism and still walks the ramparts! In Fredercia you dock very close to the town centre. Our walking tour will give you a good feeling of liver, before and now, in a fortified garrison town. On our walking tour we pass building, squares and statues describing the varied history of this planned garrison town from mid 1600'ds. From the founding, the settling of Jews in the town, via the wars in the 1800'ds to present day. You will se canons and mortars stand proudly on the ramparts, and also see the White Tower (Det Hvide Vandtårn), one of the town's icons. We visit the town museum with several houses depicting the history of Fredericia if time and opening hours allow this.
Walking the ramparts of Fredericia, along the moat. Seeing the white Water Tower; seeing the view from the top, when open.

Walking on ramparts and in town. Fredericia is a very small town and very walkable; half a mile from the pier, and we are in the centre of the town. The tour is only 2 1/2 miles long in total.
