The best part of the tour is to get the vibe for the city from within, getting to the most important spots just like the locals do: biking.

Plus, the Danish royal family still uses parts of it for fancy events, so it's kind of like government offices + ancient history + royalty all stacked in one spot. Funny story. There's this extremely long dining table (see pics). You're not supposed to sit there but the tour guide said a family sat there to eat lunch one time.

She went incredibly fast around the town and did not confirm the level of biking one should have. We definitely thought the tour should include more information about the culture and food and did not stop everywhere that was suggested. We didn't stop at the Brewery as noted in the description and sped quickly back to our final destination. We ended at a location where addicts can safely go in and use drugs. While I appreciate the concept, ending the tour in this way didn't really close our experience as expected. Our tour guide was newly relocated to Copenhagen, and while friendly she did use profanity often, mentioned the winter weather makes you want to "ki** yourself and smoked cigarettes. Overall we did feel the price we paid for the private tour was way too high and wasn't worth the cost. We would recommend renting bikes and going on your own. Save the cost for another tour. I wrote the owner to express my concerns and he offered bikes to rent but we had already left. Then I responded and never heard from him again until he answered my tour review saying we were late because we stopped to face time. This is not true at all. My husband faced time my son while I was waiting in a very long bathroom line, which I was thrilled to have found because the guide never even asked if we had to use the restroom. When I said I was using one, she goes "oh ya that's good to use now I didn't think about a bathroom stop" / so it seemed clear to use this was a new tour for her. Yes she lived in Copenhagen for 6 years but there is no way this tour was around for more than a few weeks, if that. And I fully support new ideas but more thought has to be given when guiding people privately who paid over $500 for 2 people.

It's really a great way to take in the culture of the city that you're visiting while also familiarizing yourself with the area. We booked the "Grand Tour of Copenhagen" ahead of time to ensure a tour in English for that day. The tour can also be joined last minute depending on availability. The biggest draw is that the actual tour is free. You're just paying the gratuity to your guide at the end of it all. We met our guide at the steps of City Hall. Just look for the guides with bright green umbrellas. I say this because there are other free walking tours that meet up at similar locations within the square. Wayne checked us in and suggested that we take a look around inside City Hall before the start of the tour. It was a great suggestion as we probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise. It was a great introduction! Wayne was very informative throughout the tour. He pointed out things that we wouldn't have noticed right away. We learned about the culture, government, history, and even the language. He taught us all a few basic Danish words to help us with greeting people. He was great! It's a nice short tour that takes up only about 2.5 to 3 hours of your time. The pacing of the walk is perfect. There are cobblestone streets and bike lanes to navigate through, but otherwise it's an easy walk. Our tour ended at Amalienborg Palace. The only thing that would make the tour better is the timing of it. An early morning tour that ends right before the changing of the guard ceremony would be ideal. However, this might not be possible due to the time given after the tour for those with last minute questions or needing recommendations. That's totally understandable. Otherwise, it was time very well spent. Highly recommended!

We hadn't made a reservation since we weren't sure how jet lag would be affecting us, but the greeter was very welcoming and added the four of us to the English-speaking tour (it probably helped that we arrived 10-15 mins early). Weather was very nice and comfortable temps. Our tour guide, Wayne (I believe was his name), was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He walked us through many key spots around the city, provided lots of interesting points about the local history, architecture, and language, and helped us see things we never would have noticed otherwise! Such a beautiful city, hard to take it all in without some guidance. At the end of the tour, he pointed out a cute little establishment where we could get locally-sourced snacks, drinks, and trinkets, which I really appreciated since so many souvenir shops are just full of items made elsewhere. All in all a fabulous day exploring Copenhagen, highly recommend!

We chose the two-hour tour, which felt like the perfect balance, not too short and not too long. While it is a bit more expensive than some of the larger boat tours, the experience is much more intimate. With a smaller group, it was easy to ask the captain questions and have meaningful conversations throughout the journey. One of the highlights was a brief stop at a historic military base, where we learned even more about Copenhagen's fascinating history. Along the way, we admired the city's stunning and unique architecture and, of course, made a stop at The Little Mermaid. Our captain, Aske, was one of the best tour guides we've ever had--friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, and full of great energy. If you're considering a boat tour in Copenhagen, we highly recommend this one. It was an unforgettable experience, and we learned so much about the city. You won't regret it!

First tip, book ahead. They will prioritize customers if you've booked so that they have a proper sized group. Second tip, don't go to the last tour of the day. I did that and unfortunately, it was a massive group of more than 50 for the English tour. This made for a less than ideal environment with too many people, too far from the tour guide and a slow progression through the city. I'm sorry to say that I left the group after the third stop.

Everyone on our tour was quite impressed with his ability to communicate in 5 different languages. I really wish I had gotten his name so that he could get Kudo's. (English: Atta Boy or High Praise). He was very knowledgeable about history, architecture and a little culture. We arrived in time to hop on this boat and to take it all around Copenhagen. Some of the things we got to see was the Little Mermaid, Paper Island, Christiansborg Palace, Gammel Strand, Nyhavn and much more. The little Mermaid has been vandalized a number of times. This year it was painted red by someone. The city had to restore her. The Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Anderson is not as big as you would think. But it is an icon of Denmark. This tour was around an hour. My family and I loved seeing all the sights and having the ability to hop on and off at will was a nice added touch.

Charlotte Is Amazing…read more.. When my wife and I travel outside the US (about once a year), we enjoy learning about the Jewish connections in various areas. During early May of 2019, we stayed in Copenhagen for a few days before a cruise with another couple who frequently accompany us. After reading many positive reviews about tours offered by Jewish Copenhagen, the 4 of us signed up. Fortunately, our guide was the owner, Charlotte Thalmay, who is immensely knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish people in Scandinavia and other countries of Europe. Such a recitation of facts could easily have dulled the senses, but Charlotte kept the commentary entertaining with real-life stories, including her own, of the men and women who shaped events during the past 500-700 years. Just listening to Charlotte weave tales and put a human face on the dusty pages of history was worth the price of admission ($100 per person for around 4 hours. Normally, the cost is a bit higher. However, Charlotte brought along a trainee, Hannah, and lowered the price. To us, Hannah was a delightful addition so we would have paid the regular fee). Highlights of our tour were visits to the main synagogue and Jewish Museum near the Parliament building. The synagogue is attractive, well-maintained and even seems to boast of a religious school. The museum is relatively small, but showcased in a gorgeous setting and the story it describes of the Jewish people in Denmark packs a wallop. If you're visiting Copenhagen and have any interest in this community, we'd heartily recommend booking a tour with Charlotte.
