5.00Our host, Anders, made the tour fun and informative. He was very flexible, adjusting the itinerary after asking us what things we had already seen. He went above and beyond, even buying us some Danish pastries to enjoy. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. We could not have asked for anything more. The price of the tour was a bargain considering the overall experience.

5.00The tour was excellent. Although we had a slight delay getting started bc of traffic, everything went as well as could be expected. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give us some historical perspectives regarding the different sites we were visiting in Copenhagen. The bus was very luxurious and comfortable. The only recommendation I'd make is for the tour to be a bit longer as it seemed rushed at times, and we had very little free time to shop or explore on our own. We wish you much success with the Copenhagen tour, and best of luck! Jean & Marie

5.00We had a private 10 person tour with Paul and he was awesome. He was so knowledgeable, read the group and what we wanted to see. He worked around the crowds, took us to amazing sites and really made it a super fun tour. Our shuttle bus was right there to pick us up for each time we got off the bus. Paul was so fun, and maximized our tour with as much as we could fit in. At the end he dropped us intown where he walked us to his favorite eat spots, make sure we were set before leaving.... I would highly recommend this tour and Paul. He texted me when he was on the dock, and waiting for us. Thank you for the awesome tour Paul.
