A great tour with genuine insights into Denmark and the Danes as well as great beer! - A great tour with genuine insights into Denmark and the Danes as well as great beer! As it happens the three of us were the only ones booked on the tour but that was no problem. Our excellent guide gave us her undivided attention and we had a lively and funny discussion about Copenhagen and the Danes. We were shown round the streets of Vesterbro including many areas we would not otherwise have discovered, interspersed with visiting three bars with contrasting ambiences and beers.

Saw more of Copenhagen I wouldn’t have seen other wise - I took the Vesterbro Cultural Tour with Beer Tasting on my birthday before dinner with friends, and it was a good experience. I met some really nice people and had enjoyable conversations, especially with our host Michael (Mie). It's a tour that you can easily fit into your day if you don't have other plans, as you get to enjoy multiple drinks and engaging conversations.

Craft beer hopping with Michael - We were so lucky that our guide was Michael. He is knowledgeable, personable and fun! He took us three awesome bars - all of them are completely different vibes and they offer variety of beers to chose from- and he took us neighbourhood walk and pointed out interesting history, facts and changing trends. We had great time with other guests as well. We recommend this tour with 100% confidence!

Fun beer drinking experience - Our tour guide, Leeva (spelling?) was a lot of fun. She took us to three very different bars in an interesting area of Copenhagen. We met new people and had a great time. The only con would be the cost — 120€ for two people was quite expensive considering two of the three beers were small, and most of the tour was sitting around drinking and chatting :)
