A life in contrast - Nice trip with John. We got insight into his life with hard drugs and a short trip to Copenhagen. Can highly recommend - Although it was quite cold. Saludos.

A harsh with very touching experience - The guide Lars shared his very harsh story in a really touching way. It was a pretty special experience to get so close to a very personal story. Great recommendation!

Good job, Lars! - Our guide Lars told openly and honestly about his life with drug and alcohol abuse. He did it really well and in a lively way. I am truly pleased on his behalf that he has moved forward and wishes him all possible luck. Hilsen Dorthe

Lars was a great guide - Lars was absolutely fantastic. He was able to show and tell about his life in such an open way that we were touched to tears several times. It was a beautiful insight with lots of love in an enormously hard and sad background.

Everyone should try this minimum once in their lives - We all know the stories of the "destinations" in the street picture. We’ve heard them in the news, podcasts, stories... but the street voices hit you right there at eye level with a present and concrete story that puts it all in perspective. We were 8 women who were going on a trip with Christi to hear her story. We range from the mid-20s to 86 years old and everyone was struck and touched by Christis' story. It’s easy to book, join and get the conversation running afterwards. Everyone should do this once or more times in their lives. It's not a city hike. It's a story in the street picture. Note: Remember that you can give drinks to your guide when the tour is over.

Fantastic! - Blown away!! A huge thanks to Patrick for an unforgettable experience that can definitely be recommended. Patrick is a great mediator. He managed to get everyone along, even though we were a big group. He generously shared his knowledge of the area around Enghave Plads, and shared his ups and downs in a way that left a deep impression on the listeners. Thank you for sharing your story and the best wishes for your and your family’s journey forward

Tak Johanne! - We had booked a walking tour with Gadens Stemmer for international students at our organization. The goal was to show the students a different angle on Danish welfare and society; the tour did NOT disappoint. We were guided by Johanne, who showed us around Vesterbro and shared her life story with us. Getting to know a part of the city through someone's personal story was a very unique and enriching experience. We are very thankful to have gotten to meet her and listen to her experiences - and talk about things that are not usually widely discussed, yet definitely should be! I really recommend the tour to all who are interested in other people, their experiences and look for a unique angle of city tours.
