5.00It was a memorable experience of the festive holiday season in Denmark’s capital, thanks to the amazing guide. We did not only explore the well-known spots but also the bustling Christmas markets (Danish pancakes are so delicious).
I saw wonderful decorations and preparations for the upcoming Christmas of 2023

5.00I was in Copenhagen recently for business and I had a free day and I took this tour. It was a much needed refresher for me to see wonderful decorations and preparations for the upcoming Christmas of 2023. The tour guide made this tour interesting by telling the group about how Christmas is celebrated in Copenhagen, and we also saw some landmarks in Copenhagen. I enjoyed this tour.
This tour was the best way to see Copenhagen around the Christmas season

5.00We really enjoyed this Christmas tour of Copenhagen city, seeing awesome local traditions and we also ate some local Danish food delicacies. The baked apple was delicious. Tivoli Gardens was decorated with so many Christmas trees and lights and it was quite a sight to see. Our thanks to the tour guide, without whom this tour would not have been so much of fun and frolic.
Excellent Tour

5.00My children really enjoyed this tour. My wife and daughter wanted to see the mermaid statute, and it was our last day in Copenhagen. Our guide was gracious enough to adjust the tour and take us there:) Along the way she gave us a great history in Danish history, including the city of Copenhagen.
