On this guided tour through Odense City, we will visit 3 different beer bars that stand out for their large selection of exciting draft beers. We will experience the atmosphere and taste some good and interesting beers from the taps.

Along the way, I will talk about what characterizes the bars and the beers they serve. In this context, I will also touch upon the development of beer types that has led to a large and varied range of craft beers and breweries.

The beer route will differ from walk to walk.

Aarhus is the perfect place for drinking beer. Come along on a guided tour to the local beer bars located around the city and get to know more about the thriving beer scene and breweries, which are rewriting the cultural scene of the city.

Do you know the difference between a stout, a porter and an IPA?

On this guided tour we will dive into the wonderful world of beers and get to know more about different beer styles and types. 

Aarhus was once the location for one of the biggest breweries in the country, a part of Aarhus now known as "Ceresbyen". We will also take a look into history and get to know more about the "remains" of the brewery.

Otherwise there will be plenty of opportunity to try different beers, as we will visit various beer bars. 

Enjoy the island of Langeland located just south of Funen. A guided coach tour with appropriate stops for guided walks. Beautiful and varied nature, captivating stories and the atmospheric characteristics of Langeland. Some call it hygge.

We'll either meet at Rudkøbing station or another desired spot. From there, we'll take a short city walk in the cosy cobblestone alleys of Rudkøbing. You'll hear about its famous citizens, among which, H.C. Ørsted and Mads Lange.

Afterwards we'll take a coach into the countryside, to take in the beautiful rolling landscape of Langeland, unique among Danish islands with its dolmens and characteristic hill shapes. 

After that, we'll pass King Humble's tomb and head towarsd Ristinge's gorgeous cliffs and exciting history. We'll pass the Cold War Museum on our way to Dovn's cliffs, from which, on a bright day, we can catch a glimpse of the islands wild horses striding by. 

From the southern tip of the island we'll traverse the countryside up to the idyllic villages surrounding Tranekær castle in the north. Along the way we'll pass Denmark's last surviving tobacco barn, which has been turned into a mini-museum.

In Tranekær I'll tell you about the beautiful red castle on the hill and its noble family's history. If you would like to drink a cup of coffee in the castle's lovely horse stable or have a bite to eat on the way, this should be ordered in advance: just ask the office and we'll take care of it.

A guided tour on Langeland can easily be combined with a tour on the island of Tåsinge if you wish to extend your tour with 2 hours.

Experience Aarhus Ø which is a new district that has grown from zero to 12,000 residents since 2012.

Builders and architects have chosen to build new and exciting architecture.

There is a harbour pool, a water ski course and a sailing centre. We will be able to see the forest, the sea and the bay with the peninsula Mols in the distance. With luck we can see porpoises frolicking.

There may be an opportunity to get to the top of the 142 m tall "Lighthouse".

Fifty years ago there was water where Aarhus Ø now lies. Since then there has been a container port, and when it moved south, there was room for the new district Aarhus Ø which means Aarhus island.

On the guided tour you will be able to see how the harbour has been developed. If you wish, you can also get a story about the port's role in Aarhus' development and about the conditions for the old dock workers.

In connection with the tour, it will be possible to visit one of the area's cafes or restaurants.

The tour can be adapted to the group's needs and wishes. 

A different kind of guided tour in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen.

Hear about the poet's childhood in Odense, about his fairy tales and listen to fragments of some of Hans Christian Andersen's works – right where the inspiration was born – and end the walk by singing along to a selection of Andersen's songs. All Danes know them… but do you know which ones?

Hans Christian Andersen's work spans far wider than many people realise when they hear his name. Fairy tales are what most people associate him with at first, but novels, plays, poems, and short, captivating texts are also an important part of his authorship. This span is precisely what makes Hans Christian Andersen so fascinating to talk about.

Do you know which Christmas carol was written by Hans Christian Andersen? Maybe you do – maybe you don’t. I look forward to hearing your answer – or to giving it to you.

On this slightly different guided tour inspired by Hans Christian Andersen, I naturally bring stories, songs, and storytelling to life along the way.

If you wish, we can collaborate with one of Odense's cafés and place part of the experience there. This allows us to sit down and enjoy lunch or coffee while we complete the stories and maybe sing some of Andersen's wonderful songs together.

Vejle is one of only 100 resilient cities in the world. What do words such as the new sluice, resilient-cooperation, cloud burst street, Resilient street and Resilient house, mean? Learn on this guided walk in Vejle where I'll show you how it all forms Vejle.

Some other Resilient cities are Rome, Los Angeles, Durban and Wellington. As you see, Vejle is part of a prestigious network. Vejle was carefully chosen by the Rockefeller Foundation for its innovative approach to solutions for climate change and global warming, an issue Vejle does a lot to prevent. This will be obvious on this city walk, where we'll pass places that are part of these prevention efforts.

Svendborg is the pearl of South Funen, a vibrant harbour town which for centuries has stretched its "currents" out into the wider world and brought ideas home from distant shores.

On this guided walking tour, we delve into both the historic and the modern town, following the traces of seafaring, strong personalities and dramatic events that have shaped Svendborg as well as Denmark.

Along the way, you will encounter stories of pigs that helped build fortunes, merciful monks, courageous resistance fighters and committed communist dramatists who used the theatre to shake up contemporary society. We talk about the ragged proletariat as well as the powerful churches, and you will hear about the seafaring men who set out onto the open sea and the strong women who stayed behind and kept the town and families together.

We make our way from the harbour up into the town through atmospheric streets, passing the old warehouses along the famous quayside, from where ferries sail to the islands of the South Funen Archipelago: Drejø, Bjørnø, Skarø and Ærø. You will learn about the importance of shipping for Svendborg, about the shipyards and Frederiksøen, home to one of the world's leading repair yards for historic and preservation-worthy wooden vessels.

On our route, we visit "Mudderhullet" and the Træskibsbroen once the heart of Svendborg's medieval harbour, and every summer the gathering point for proud old ships taking part in "Fyn Rundt for Bevaringsværdige Træskibe". We also see the main square with the town's oldest preserved half-timbered house, Ane Hvides Gård, take in the sight of the "Gylletank", and step into the atmospheric Church of St Nicholas before continuing through the charming lanes that link the harbour with the town centre.

Throughout the walk, your guide weaves the local stories into the broader threads of Danish history and reveals how a "small" seafaring town like Svendborg has time and again left its mark far beyond South Funen.

Vejle's beautiful harbour front and a walk through 200 years of history.

We start by walking through Østerbo – part of the old labour area – towards Østre Kirkegård, the eastern cemetary. Here you will get aquainted with some of the prominent people who founded Vejle such as "Dandy", "Hess" and "Windfeld Hansen". The tour continues to the harbour front and along the way, we'll see a clear destinction between the old and new Vejle. 

On the beautiful and very destinctive harbour front, amongst others we'll see architectural pearls like Bølgen, the Wave, Kirk Kapital's new domicile Fjordenhus designed by Olafur Eliason and the largest floating Kayak Club in Denmark.

Join me in my beautiful hometown, the fishing village of Gilleleje, and discover the lively summer town, the beautiful coastline and freshly caught fish in the charming harbour.

Gilleleje attracts guests from everywhere and is world renowned for its WWII history. In 1943 when World War II was raging, the town's fishermen smuggled Danish Jews to Sweden in the shelter of the night. We seek out the history of the little Church and Gilleleje Museum, eat a delicious dish at the harbour and walk through the town and the vicinity.
