Kolding's old town centre has a number of striking old buildings, such as the Old Town Hall, and modern statues, such as in the Geographical Garden.

Of course, we also walk past Koldinghus and along the Kolding Fjord.

Aarhus might only be the second largest city in Denmark, and only a blip on the map of the world, but there are still a great many fascinating, surprising and fun stories to tell.

Did you know, that the cream puff was invented here? Or that the oldest church in Scandinavia is found here?

Learn more about this and a number of interesting stories about Aarhus being bigger, better or first about something while you are strolling leisurely on a guided tour through the wonderful city centre.

If you wish, we could add a detour through Den Gamle By, which is a major sight and the first open air museum of its kind in the world. You need to decide this in advance, because this will need an additional hour and there will also be an admission fee. Besides being a spectacular place in it's own right, Den Gamle By is also a nice place to taste some old school sweets and take refreshment, such as coffee and a piece of a tradtional Danish layer cake.

Since the beginning of the 00s, the Port of Odense has undergone a monumental change. Get the whole story told by a guide who has seen it all while it has been going on.

On the tour you get the big overview and get behind scenes and hear some of the hidden anecdotes – and it's all put into context of the greater story about the wild journey that Odense as a city has been through since the turn of the millennium.

An inspiring guided tour through Odense's harbour district – in close collaboration with Storms Pakhus, a former warehouse transformed to a modern street food hub.

Odense's harbour has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, culture, architecture, and open spaces blend beautifully, shaping an entirely new and attractive urban quarter. This guided tour begins and ends at Storms Pakhus and focuses on the many fascinating sites within a short distance from this modern hub for street food and social life in Odense.

Discover how water has become an integral part of the city's new identity and development. We'll share the story of Havnebadet, Odense's stylish and much-loved pool that has become a defining symbol of the city's revived waterside life. Here, Odense's maritime heritage meets modern water sports and creative leisure experiences. The city's famous industrial magnate lends his name to C.F. Tietgen's Canal, one of Odense's graceful waterways linking the harbour with the city centre.

Street art also plays an important role in the harbour district. We'll explore some striking works alongside examples of innovative architecture and sustainable design initiatives – all reflecting the many opportunities that make Odense a city in constant change.

The guided tour includes a drink token, which can be redeemed at Storms Pakhus – where Odense's maritime past meets its vibrant modern urban culture inside the characterful old warehouse with a variety of food from all over the world. A popular street food hub amongst Odenseans.

Copenhagen is rightly famous for its most renowned inhabitant the Little Mermaid but there is so much more to the city than her. On this tour I will take you around the classic Copenhagen sights and show you the heart of this fascinating city.

The tour will start at The Little Mermaid. We then pass the biggest sculpture in the city, the Gefion fountain. On to the residence of the royal family, Amalienborg. Now it is time for photos at Nyhavn, the most photographed place in Denmark. The Baltic Sea is all around  us, and we sense the maritime past.

We continue by passing the beautiful Royal Theatre, then the famous walking street Strøget with all the shops, after which we stroll by Parliament, the royal horse stables and National Museum and finish by passing the oldest street in Copenhagen and the oldest square on our way to City Hall and Tivoli.

You will get a fun and fast-paced introduction to Danish history and culture during the tour.

The medieval castle of Koldinghus located on the hill by the lake, is welcoming travellers to the Kingdom of Denmark. Kolding was the gateway to Denmark from the south until the war in 1864.

The castle was burned down in 1808, after which the ruin was used as a quarry until Hans Christian Andersen passed by.

The castle was renovated in the late 1900s. Today the ruins are preserved within the new stunning architectural design. The palace is the major attraction in Kolding, but the rest of the medieval city also has some remarkable stories such as the war in 1849 between 50.000 Prussian soldiers and 40.000 Danish soldiers and the border crossing over the Kolding river to the duchies to the south.

Recent stories like that of the renowned baker, Bertram Knudsen: "it is all about the butter", and Chresten Berg, who started the liberal newspapers in Denmark, are also stories to be revealed on a guided walk in Kolding.

Walk through Copenhagen, from North to South. On this long hike you will get to know the green lungs of Copenhagen, and many "secret places" that most Copenhageners are not even aware of.

You have a guide and will learn about the places we walk through, but there will be longer stretches of pure walking, so you will get your physical shape tested. In all, we will walk around 13-15 kilometers, depending on your pace. On the hike, you have a chance to get to know the other particpants – or get an in-depth talk with the guide.

The tour lasts around 5 hours, and there will be a break on the way to get a ligther lunch or refreshment – or just dine from your lunch box!

This luxury food tour is made as a tasteful meal of all kinds of Danish foods. The tour will also include non-Danish food, but the main focus will be on food we Danes love. I promise you a fantastic food tour-experience!

Enjoy delicious bread, the Danish open-faced ryebread-sandwich "smørrebrød", gourmet-surprises and of course some of the world famous Danish pastry. And who can say no to tempting wine or beer from a great but small Danish brewery or some classic Danish elderflower drink – just to mention some of the expected highlights.

Stops on the tour and types of food may vary depending on opening hours, but it will at least have 7 different tasting-stops – so you're adviced to start your food tour on an empty stomach. The tour can be made either on foot or by bicycle. The tour starts and ends at the harbour of Vejle.

If you want to do it by coach I will find the best solution for you.

I am a true foodie who lives in Vejle and has worked as a guide since 2012.

An alternative to the luxery food tour can be this food tour in Vejle.

Explore Christmas in Aarhus in the good old days – enjoy a horseride, find the beatifully decorated Christmas trees and listen to bands playing Christmas carols.

At the bakery you'll find all kinds of traditional Christmas cakes and the store is selling old fashion Christmas cards.

The Danes are very fond of Christmas and like spending time with friends and family in the Old Town, Den Gamle By, in December. Every year the Christmas exhibition changes so do come back year after year – it is always enjoyable. Visit Aarhus and enjoy a guided tour of the museum Den Gamle by, the Old Town and enjoy all the Christmas decorations. Do remember to dress warmly – its cold outside…

Let me plan your Christmas visit at The old town. I will guide you through the "must sees" and ensure you'll explore the Danish Christmas traditions. You will have plenty of time to explore the museum on your own – whether you fancy shopping, tasting the local food or want simply to meet the Danes. In the evening the narrow streets will be lit by oldfashioned oil or gaslamps which enhances the pleasure of walking the streets.

Holmen's and Garnison's emeteries in Copenhagen.

Holmen's and Garnison's cemeteries are located close to Østerport Station and they're the oldest active cemeteries in Copenhagen – respectively from 1666 and 1671. Originally they were dedicated to the military and navy, serving as place of rest many an admiral and general. Even regular soldiers are buried here – and it might be a bit overwhelming, but these cemeteries are also home to several mass graves from the Battle of Copenhagen (1801) and the war of 1864.

But there isn't just war graves here. Many known politicians, musicians and actors lie peacefully in these flower-covered cemeteries.

The chapels also boast of a lot of history. The somewhat humble chapel at Garnison's contains a dark history related to Nazi Germany. Holmen's chapel was originally a Norwegian stave church!

The cemeteries can be visited individually or in combination, since they're located at very short distance from each other. The walk is amazingly beautiful, since these cemeteries are park-like areas with large trees and ample benches.

City walk to the Cathedral of Aarhus and the viking museum.

Walk down through the centuries and see the small Viking exhibition telling the story of Viking age Aarhus.

Walk into the medieval days in the impressive Cathedral of Aarhus; the longest and tallest church in Denmark, and one of the oldest redbrick buildings in Jutland. Its construction began in the year 1190.

Visit the fantastic Open-Air museum Den Gamle By – the Old Town – with the old houses, cobble stoned streets and people dressed up in old clothing in the high season.

Pass medieval houses and along the river at this city walk in the centre of Aarhus. Walk with me and get a vast impression of Aarhus, the capital of Jutland.

It is a moderate walking tour. We use public transportation one way.

From cruise ships which do not dock in the inner harbour, shuttle bus transport to the town centre is needed and ½ hour added to the tour.

Please note that the cathedral can be closed due to service, and there will be an entrance fee.

Exciting city walk in Odense with historical and modern features.

As we walk through the streets and alleys of Odense I will tell an exciting story about the city's past and its sights. Vikings, kings and many other stories and adventures!

Odense was once one of Denmark's most important medieval cities. Traces of this heyday still exist and the latest excavations in the city give us answers to many questions.

Modern Odense has very few traces from the Middle Ages, but one of the most important is Odense Cathedral! On my tour you will hear about the city's historical development, industrialization and the modern times.

My narrative includes the history of the city, Hans Christian Andersen as well as giving some insight into modern Odense.

Join me on this architectural walking tour and experience the city in your own unique way.

Vejle has a number of striking new buildings, such as Fjordenhus and Bølgen by the harbour, the Music Theatre and the Art Museum in the city centre, as well as old buildings with a new purpose, such as Spinderihallene.

From a medieval fishing village to a modern capital – history, hidden details and local perspectives.

Copenhagen is much more than beautiful buildings and famous landmarks. Its history is hidden in the streets, squares and small details that most visitors pass without noticing.

We begin at the statue of Absalon, the bishop and statesman who helped transform a small harbour settlement into the Danish capital. From there, we explore the historic city centre and hear stories of kings, merchants, students and ordinary Copenhageners who shaped the city over the centuries.

Along the way, we climb the Round Tower, King Christian IV’s remarkable observatory and one of the most iconic landmarks from Copenhagen’s golden age of growth and learning.

The tour ends at Torvehallerne, Copenhagen's modern food market, where the city's long traditions of trade, food and social life continue today. Here we round off the experience with a traditional Danish pastry or an ice cream, depending on the weather, and a chance to chat about the stories and places we have explored together.

This walking tour is particularly well suited to small groups looking for a relaxed and personal experience with plenty of opportunities for questions, conversation and local insights.
