Full description
This small-group walking tour links two of Copenhagen's most distinct neighborhoods: Nyhavn, the city's postcard-famous harbor, and Christianshavn, a canal-lined district often called Copenhagen's own Mini-Amsterdam. On this small group tour, explore how this compact city became one of the world’s most exciting culinary destinations.
Across five stops, you'll move through Danish food history: starting with a chef's refined take on smørrebrød, Denmark's classic open-faced sandwich, then crossing the water for a taco stand that's become a genuine local landmark, featured in Netflix's Somebody Feed Phil. From there, the tour continues through a modern porridge concept, a beloved hotdog cart, and finishes at a family-run bakery known for its cardamom buns.
You’ll visit vibrant food markets, historic spots, and local favorites that reflect both Copenhagen’s deep-rooted heritage and its forward-thinking food scene.
A small group led by a knowledgeable local guide, this experience goes beyond tastings; it’s a cultural journey through neighborhoods, stories, and flavors that define Copenhagen today, offering a fun and engaging way to connect with the city.

Reviews
Brilliant tour! A food walking tour is always my first tour of any city to help get bearings, hear a bit about this history of the city and find out any hidden gems. This did not disappoint. Alfonso was a fantastic host, the pace was perfect - not rushed, not too slow. The group I was with were really friendly and chatty. I tried a number of things I haven’t had before, and visited areas of the city I wasn’t aware of. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and Alfonso as tour guide!
Maria our guide was excellent! She was easy to understand, gave history at each site and along the way, and kept the pace comfortable. She was pleasant and you could tell she was proud of her city. The food was excellent and filling. The wine pairings were on point! I will do this in every city it’s an available when we travel.
Emery was a great guide, enthusiastic about the food and beverage history of Edinburgh and the fun stories -definitely recommend.
