Outstanding queer history tour!

My partner and I loved the Queer History walking tour with Jo! The tour wove together Copenhagen's fascinating queer history with contemporary queer community places and culture. Highly recommended for anyone looking for perspective on Copenhagen beyond the standard tour stops. 😀

Nice walking tour

Great and very knowledgeable tour guide (Jo) who shared lesser-known history about the LGBT parts of Copenhagen
