1.00Guide didn't know much about the Jewish experience and had to consult Google to answer virtually any question we asked. Most of the tour included nothing related to Jewish Copenhagen. Was a waste of time and l want my money back.
Little reason to spend your time or money

1.00Jewish Copenhagen walking tour WITHOUT either local or Jewish guide! Our guide was a pleasant Italian who was fluent in English but only recently moved to Copenhagen. Although the description indicates there is an additional charge for longer tour featuring museum, I don’t recall seeing the requirement for pretour online registration to visit the synagogue. Therefore the only current jewish facility was OFF LIMITS. Don’t waste your money with this tour or this tour operator
Jewish tour

3.00We thought it would be more focus on the Jewish history of Copenhagen instead of a general history. The guide was very good but it was not what we expected. I was also disappointed we weren’t able to go into the synagogue
One on one informational friendly tour

5.00Lucky me, I was the only tourist to sign up. The one to one relationship enhanced the experience. My guide was very nice, talkative. frankly, there isn't enough Jewish history to fill out 2 hours of time as we walked around. However, a lot of information was added regarding Copenhagen which was interesting in itself. Unfortunately we were unable to go to the Jewish Museum. Overall, I had a very pleasant informed tour.
Excellent

2.00Our guide was great and very knowledge about the City. We took the 2 hour tour. It is not very Jewish focused and not worth the money as it was very expensive compared to a city tour.
