Wonderfull trip through Kopenhagen. Afternoon hours and less traffic on the roads make a great experience for sightseeing the city from the bike. E-bikes provided by "Cykelland" were well maintained and comfortable allowing for smooth and tireless ride. In view of safety, we received helmets and headsets alloweing to listen our guide, Alex. We learned a lot about the city itself, people living in it and generally about Denmark.

Alex was an incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide. We were architects wanting to go see great architecture and he developed the tour just for us as we went along! Has a great knowledge of Copenhagen's urban history. Would highly recommend this tour to all architects and Urban planners! A must if you want to understand this great city and it's people and how they live!

Our guide, Alia, was so lovely and a great source of information about the history of Copenhagen, its churches, architecture and culture. Our favorite part was seeing where Hans Christian Andersen wrote his fairly tails - from one tiny room preserved inside the famous Magasin department store! A walking tour is the best way to see any city - highly recommend this one!

In a 2 h tour I got an idea of Danish history and visited all the main monuments . Lesley was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the culture of the northern countries and the relation between them through the centuries . It was also an amusing tour thanks to Lesley !

Joe had great energy with a two family large group with several ages. He captured fun and formal and even flirty couple photos. Highly recommended for your next big family reunion abroad!
