LOVED this tour - You're going to love this tour. My son and I went with E-Adventures, and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. The giants are well worth seeing and are more impressive in person than in photos. The guides gave just the right amount of information about the sculptures, about the artist, and about Denmark culture at each stop. Our best photos from the trip are the ones of us climbing on the giants (you're encouraged to do that). The time flew by, and our 4 hour adventure went by too quickly. You're mostly in nature, and it's the perfect break from the usual tourist sightseeing. We had a cloudy day with a bit of rain and the rain wasn't an issue, and the skies made for great photos. The tours do sell out, so I recommend booking in advance. Enjoy! :)

Great cycle tour - Awesome day out with a great guide - four hours to see the outskirts of Copenhagen. Loved the First World War bunkers. Recommended.

Beautiful experience - This was a wonderful experience. Not only seeing the giants, but the beautiful countryside. Thomas (not the correct spelling-sorry!). Was very knowledgeable on Denmarks environmental conservation efforts. I would do this again just for the beauty of it. Thank you Thomas!

Magical day away of the city - Such a wonderful magical day away of the city, the e-bikes were great and easy to ride, the giants were the coolest and riding through the forest and green space was so nice and peaceful! We really enjoyed the entire time even more than what we anticipated! Sam was fun to be with, highly recommend if you want to see a very different side of the life in Copenhagen!

Unique and unforgettable experience in Copenhagen - Beautiful getaway from the city! I enjoyed exploring the hidden giants with Tamas and taking in the beautiful sights along the way. We picked some fresh and crispy apples from a tree in one of the parks, too!
Tamas was a pleasure to be exploring with and gave me lots of insights about the life and culture here. He checked in and made sure I was feeling safe on the road at all times. This was easily one of the best activities I did during my time in Copenhagen.

Wooden Giants Bike Tour 10/10!!! - Had an incredible experience! This tour is a must-do in Denmark! The giants are unique and fun to see. During the tour, you also ride through beautiful parks and see the spectacular countryside. Tomas was such a great tour guide. He was informative, very funny, and kept the tour engaging and exciting. He customized the tour as we went, letting us explore new tunnels and routes with him.
Highly recommend!

A great tour for bicycle enthusiasts - Tomas was an amazing guide-very personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about the giants and Danish culture. The giants are amazing and are unforgettable, seeing them was a major highlight of my time here.
The tour is 30-miles long and starts and ends in a suburb (city traffic cycling). Beyond the city streets, most of it's on cycling trails, but about 15% was cycling on loose gravel paths, dirt paths and a couple shortcuts across fields. In my opinion, doing 30 miles/3 hours on a bicyle seat, including several miles of bumpy riding, should only be attempted by those accustomed to regular bicycling back home. In order to complete the tour in the allocated time, an average speed of 25 miles/hour needs to be maintained (it is not go at your own pace). If you have headwinds and the power level needs to be turned down on the ebike to preserve battery life, expect to have to pedal a bit harder than normal on an ebike. I'd recommend this tour to any bicycle enthusiast, but it may not be suited for all and the description should be updated on viator.

Giant Tour a giant disappointment - Very fun seeing the Giants, but the tour guide wasn’t the most professional and everything was a bit disorganized. The meeting place wasn’t the best (no signage, no contact prior to the tour from the guide, not really near anything) and where we finished the tour was a bit sketchy (a house with a lot of trash laying around, not easy to get a taxi back). I book a lot of tours through Viator and this one was a bit disappointing.

Glad we did it, but… - Be aware that you MUST be FIT to do this tour! Our trip lasted 5+ hours and covered over 28 miles of both beautiful countryside landscapes and very busy city streets. We are all in our 60s and in good shape, most of us even bike regularly, but we had 3 “incidents” - 2 falls and a torn hamstring. The terrain is difficult in places, and our guide Daniel rode *way* too far ahead of half the group. Several times during the long day, the first half of the group had to stop and wait for the second half of the group to catch up, having gone the wrong way because a turnoff was missed or a light changed. Traffic can be tricky, and unforeseen things like an unexpected downpour and faulty bikes didn’t help. With all that said, the scenery was spectacular in places and I’m happy we did it, but wish we had known exactly what we were in for ahead of time - even Daniel admitted there should be better language in the excursion description letting potential guests know what to expect.
