Nyboders Mindestuer
If you are going to get to the heart of hygge, you need to go back in time. We begin our Hygge & Happiness tour near the characteristic yellow houses of Nyboder, a famed local district. Here you’ll meet and greet your native guide and your group for the day. Your native guide is a bona fide Copenhagener who is super excited to share their knowledge of Danish culture with you, as well as local historical secrets that you won’t find in any guidebooks! And because our tours are for small groups only, your guide has plenty of time to answer
Copenhagen
Your tour takes you through the oldest parts of the city, where you experience hidden gems in the form of cobblestone-filled streets, timber-framed houses, and green refuges of calm amongst the urban sprawl. Krusemyntegade is one of the cobblestone-filled streets that just scream hygge with that old world charm. It’s a great example of how hyggelig our city can be if you just take the time to wander.

Loved this walking tour. It was relaxed, we learned about Copenhagen and Denmark and started and ended with a stop at a cozy coffee shop.

Our guide, Therese was wonderful and we had a nice small group. I learned so much about the history of Copenhagen and the stops along the way for treats was really appreciated and timed perfectly. Would highly recommend Copenhagen by Mie & Friends!!

Our tour guide Sandra was delightful. She welcomed all participants and chatted easily while the group got together. She gave an overview of the tour and with a warm energy she lead the tour with an easy pace to follow. The historical information on the city, the culture, and the concept of hygge was interesting and well delivered. Sandra stayed mindful of the cold and snowy conditions, spacing out the food spots at just the right intervals to give us a chance to warm up. The pastries and chocolates were delicious. Sandra asked us about our trip lengths and offered additional avenues to add to our trip itineraries to learn and see further. I definitely recommend this tour, especially if your trip is short.

Our tour with Oskar P. was fun and very informative. Oskar’s combination of historical knowledge and local facts made our time together quite enjoyable. The only thing which may have made it even better was Denise. Sadly, Denise was a no show. 10/10 thank you Oskar P.!

Jacob was an amazing tour guide- we had such a great experience and felt we could truly appreciate what makes Copenhagen such a special place of be. I feel I got more than my admission fee's worth in experience, dining, and culture. I had a great time and felt that each of the attendees were included in conversation. Jacob gave great individualized recommendations. This tour helped to make the most of my last day in Copenhagen!

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Therese. She exemplified the Hygee culture. The tour was very informative and enjoyed the food and coffee stops to simply talk about culture, government and any topics we wanted. Therese was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Thank you, Therese.

This tour was an amazing experience and met my expectations. We received an introduction during each stop and history related to the stop. The group was able to ask questions during each stop. We experienced the hygge. We had coffee , pastries, hot chocolate etc. and some information about good restaurants to continue our visit in Copenhagen. Excellent tour!
