A Day with Jans (sic?) in Copenhagen - Jan's (sic?) was fantastic...like living history with your favorite professor. AND he is living history given his family's lineage in Copenhagen since the 15th Century. He provided insights and detailed knowledge of topics i don't think anyone else could have. REALLY great!

Copenhagen Walk - This was an excellent tour of Copenhagen landmarks. Our guide, Jens, was extremely well informed, telling us about Danish history and customs. He gave us the background of many landmarks that we encountered on our walk. In Addition, he had many interesting, and often humorous, stories to tell about Copenhagen and Denmark.

Not a bad couple of hours. - The tour was alright. Great to see some sights I wouldn’t have thought about during my visit to Copenhagen. No earphones were provided (as advertised) so it was easy to miss some things in noisier surroundings. The small group of 8 people of all ages struggled a bit to keep up with the tour guide so they would have missed more than me. The guide did thankfully get us to Amalienborg (the final stop) right on time to see the changing of the guard, despite one of the group turning up late. Recommend, but don’t be late otherwise it’s all a bit rushed.
