Traveler reviews
Excellent introduction to Copenhagen
Wayne was very knowledgeable & gave us an excellent introduction to culture, history, way of life & tourist tips. It went at a good pace: not fast or slow & we saw many sites. I really enjoyed it.
Amazing Guide, Delightful Tour
Johanna was so thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. I was very grateful that she offered me her scarf upon seeing I was cold. She gave a wonderful tour of the city!
INFORMATIVE, INTERSTING AND INTERACTIVE
We did a 2.5 hour tour with Rikke at 10:30 on Sunday 16 November 2025. While they do not charge upfront for the tour, I hope everyone was generous with their tip for the Tour Guide, at the end, it was certainly worth it. The tour gave a really good insight into the story of Copenhagen and covered its founders, buildings, industry, language and, importantly for me, the social history. We covered a surprising amount of topics and places and Rikke was always on hand to answer the many questions we wanted to ask. We also had lots of tips on places to visit as well as places to go for a meal or a drink. Our tour finished at the Royal Palace (more like 4 stately homes) and we had the pleasure of seeing King Frederik X arriving home after the Guard Change. If you want to know all about Copenhagen in an interesting, interactive and friendly way, just do it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Grand Tour of Copenhagen with Irish Jack!
Jack was our tour guide for the Free Walking Tour/Grand Tour of Copenhagen. We like to do these tours on our first day in a new city to orientate ourselves and see places that we may want to revisit over the course of our trip. This tour was a little of this and a little of that--some history, some culture, seeing major landmarks and areas of the city--all tied up with some interesting stories. Jack did a great job entertaining all of us and the group wasn't so big--15 people--so a manageable size to take us around and answer questions etc. Definitely recommend!
Great tour with Wayne
I went on a Tour (The grand tour of Copenhagen) with Wayne from Copenhagen Free Walking Tours. You can book them also directly. The tor was approximately 2,5 hours long. It was quite a long tour, but very interesting the whole time. I can recommend this tour.
