Everyone who has cycled through Copenhagen once knows that this city loves to blend the New with the Old. But there is more to Copenhagen’s architecture than eye-catching design. Wherever you go, sustainable and humanistic ideas shape the way the city is planned and built – making it one of the greenest and friendliest cities in the world.
This tour will take you on a 3 hour bike ride through Copenhagen and introduce you to its architectural evolution and the principles that drive its sustainable city planning. You will be guided by our local guides who give you both an informative and personal account of the city's urban landscape.
Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Copenhagen's architectural landscape, and see for yourself how Copenhagen’s urban planning has inspired so many other cities around the world to follow its example.

If contemporary architecture is an interest, and you know how to cycle, definitely consider this tour.

5.00I've been traveling independently for many years, yet here in CPH I actually did two different group tours by bike. I did two tours in CPH, with different guides and providers. I found each extremely enjoyable and informative, and a good value for the money. Our group was small, only six riders, enabling good interaction and questions as warranted. Given my interest in architecture, I was pleased to have an informed guide who could show the designs of the city that merit attention. In addition, our guide included two bathroom breaks, which while not used by me, might have been very welcome on another day. My only cavil is that I would have liked a printed map at the conclusion of our tour, showing more or less the route we had taken touring the sites. Maybe provide it online so visitors would download it, since sustainability is so much at the forefront of the public mindset. BTW, one in our group fell, and suffered minor cuts. Our guide was at the ready with a bag of bandages, tape, and ointment, (see Scout Motto), and apparently the sponsor is also prepared to have backup rendezvous with our group had he required major assistance. That way the rest of us could proceed on while his injury was attended to if needed. Comforting to know.
This is a great tour if...

5.00This is a great tour if you are interested in seeing interesting buildings and understanding what makes Copenhagen unusual. Our guide, Rene, was a terrific observer and interpreter of the recent history of Copenhagen, and provided an intro to some of the resiliency strategies and and regulatory reforms that distinguish the city.
Awesome!

5.00Brilliant relaxed architectural tour with Renee taking us to some less touristic highlights of Copenhagen with a focus on urban planning and sustainability. We covered about 12k over 2.5hrs so you don't need high levels of fitness. A joy to see the city by bike.
A Great Way to Experience Copenhagen

5.00We cycled the tour led by René Passet, who we know from the traffic information on the radio. It was nice to see a part of Copenhagen where you just don't go. René knows how to tell a lot of interesting details down to small funny interesting details. His story makes Copenhagen even more fun to watch.
A must experience.
