Time travel in Aarhus did not disappoint - Marina is the perfect tour guide. This was our first time visiting Aarhus and we knew nothing about the city. We had wished to get as much an experience as we possibly could in the few hours that we were visiting. Marina made that wish come true. She was extremely enthusiastic about sharing all of her knowledge as she also lives there. Every place we went to was incredible. Our agenda was very flexible. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. It felt like having your best friend tour you around the city. We had an amazing time with her. I highly recommend this tour. **One special note. Her dropdown with the availability of her time, does not include every time that she's available. So please contact her through the site to ask her if she is available at the time that your ship comes in. You will be thrilled and very lucky if she's available to show you around her city. She is correct, 5 hours with her just flies by. Thanks so much Marina!!!!

Best custom tour avoid the large ship - What a wonderful excursion. Advertised as small group into 10. We were the only two on the tour. Marina was phenomenal . She was knowledgeable, engaging and couldn’t have been a better guide. Avoid the cruise ship walking yours with 25/30 people. She let us spend as much time or direct our interests.

A must see - We could have spent all day here. An amazing place with different buildings from centuries back to the modern day. Many of the buildings have wonderful and detailed exhibits from different times in history. There are also people in role and we were entertained finding out about paying rent, being a servant, and the issues facing people in the 1860’s A good restaurant and facilities. Don’t miss out the Aarhus story and additional museums in the modern part of the site. Parking on the road alongside the museum.

A place of culture - We only had a couple of hours to spare so we visited Den Gamle By, the Cathedral, the Arros Art Museum and a small part of the Viking museum. We were a family of 5 with young children and found everything quite interesting. Definitely worth visiting!

Timeless - Timeless, go early then it's less crowded and you can enjoy all the experience without having to wait. Must try the eats as they are fairly authentic. If you manage book online so you don't have to wait if you go later in the day. Enjoy

Time Travel in Aarhus - The description was not clear on the amount of time and difficulty factor. This was a five hour walking tour over uneven streets with rock and dirt. While our guide did her best, our group of 14 (not 10) trudged along for a while, but many eventually left the group due to the difficulty factor of distance and uneven walking paths. We experienced some rain, but not too difficult. I would make the description clearer. We walked 5+ miles which was a challenge.
