Best tour we have ever taken - We have taken many tours over the years and this was one of the best. The communication confirming our tour time and pick up location the day before by the company and then by the tour guide was remarkable and reassuring. Our tour guide, Rob, was prompt and had excellent English and was a professional guide who knew his history of Copenhagen and could answer any question. Rob's enthusiasm and pride in his city was evident and contagious as he led us through the city telling us stories of the building and destruction throughout the ages. I don't think there was a building we passed that Rob didn't know some interesting fact about. When you take this tour and have Rob as your guide, wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to receive a tour that exceed far more than what you expect.

Awesome Tour with an Awesome Guide - We had a great time on this tour. It was a perfect combination of history and “official” tour type sights mixed with local knowledge and interesting conversation. But most of all it was just plain fun. Our great guide bonded with my kids and by the end of the tour he was more family friend than tour guide. He even took us on the metro!!! I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Walking Tour of Copenhagen - Joaquim was a great guide. We saw all the highlights of Copenhagen. And while a little pricier, a private tour is definitely the way to go.

Excellent!!! It was worth it!!! - We were in Copenhagen for three days! We hired a Brazilian guide who has lived here for a long time where he formed a family. Super nice Cover, didactic, city-knowing, polite, charismatic... Its acquisition was a very important factor so that we could know a bit of the history of this wonderful city!!! We traveled in 5 couples, between family and friends, and the admiration for Bruno was unanimous!!! It was worth it!!! Thank you, Bruno for your attention!

The tour was informative... - The tour was informative and our guide was enthusiastic. It would have been higher rated but this is not a three hour walking tour. It is a 2 hour tour with an included ticket for a 1 hour canal tour with a very large group by another operator at an insignificant cost relative to the total amount paid. We would not have taken the tour if it had been listed accurately as a 2 hour private walking tour with a large group canal boat ticket included.
