A tour to the castle ruins of Vordingborg…

Take a trip with me to Vordingborg and visit the Vordingborg Castle Grounds where you can still see parts of the outer walls and ascend the remaining "Goose Tower". I give you the story of both Viking Age Vordingborg and the three Valdemarian kings of the Danish Middle Ages, who built the castles from where they ruled the area and the country. Perhaps you would like to see the splendid old church too?

If you wish, I would be happy to meet you and your coach in Copenhagen or elsewhere and be your guide on the way to Vordingborg. This give me an opportunity to tell you more about the things we are going to see. We can make a stop at the newly recovered Ring Fort Vikingeborgen at Køge, this being the fifth known to this day. Or, if you prefer, we can make a detour to the town of Næstved and take a stroll through its lovely old centre.

Just 15 years ago, the Århusgade neighbourhood in Nordhavn was a restricted area, enclosed by fences and checkpoints as part of Copenhagen's free port. Today, it stands as the city's latest example of modern harbour transformation.

This area has evolved based on a comprehensive plan from 2008, when the ideas of social, economic, and environmental sustainability were still emerging. During the tour, we'll explore the remarkable results of this forward-thinking development together.

Our tour will take you through some of Nordhavn's most innovative and iconic architectural landmarks, including Park & Play by JAJA Architects, Orienten by Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter, The Silo by COBE, Kanonhuset by Entasis, Portland Towers by DesignGroup Architects, and UN City by 3XN. We'll also enjoy a delightful pit stop at the beautiful Anderssen & Maillard bakery designed by Danielle Siggerud.

This guided tour offers a unique look at the cutting-edge designs shaping Copenhagen’s newest neighbourhood.

City walk in Copenhagen. Take a guided tour of the inner city and discover why many streets, towns and squares have such interesting street names. I explain why Cristal street, Krystalgade, has got its special name, why one street is called "shit street" (Magstræde) and the main walking street is called Købmagergade, just as I tell the story of the "Grey Brother-" and "Coal-" squares and much more.

Epidemics in Copenhagen – cholera, plague, typhus and the development of the city.

The year is 1853, and the first report of cholera is received by the authorities in Copenhagen. It is the start of another epidemic in the city, which has been hit by many different diseases throughout the ages, like plague, tuberculosis, polio and recently corona.

Though Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Copenhagen was a wellknown city to him. He walked the narrow streets of Copenhagen in his achievement to proceed happiness as a writer and an actor.

This guided tour takes you by Vesterbro, the first area for Hans Christian Andersen to see in Copenhagen, leading us to the posh area of Copenhagen where the Royal Theatre is located and where Hans Christian Andersen also lived.

During the tour you will experience the different social levels which used to occur in the 19th century. The tour will also show how "every day life" was in that period of time and furthermore you will see some of the places where Hans Christian Andersen has left his own footprints.

This tour is perfect for the audience who want to know the story about the 19th century's Copenhagen, combined with curiosity about the person and fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen.

Walk the Ramparts of Christianshavn – part of the old fortifications of Copenhagen.

The rampart and the moats around Christianshavn are part of the extensive fortifications all around Copenhagen. Today they form a park area with many beautiful sights and access to the harbour. Seen from above it is like a green string of pearls.

We start our walk at Langebro and then follow the rampart all the way around the freetown Christiania – stop for a refreshment and peep look and then continue while enjoying the unique self constructed houses in Christiania. After a while we reach the Opera House from where we can take the harbour bus across to Nyhavn.

Walk on unneven surfaces, that can be muddy and slippery depending on the weather.

If not previously, then there is now a deer-guarantee at the plainlands next to the oldest golfclub not just in Denmark but of all of Scandinavia. If the weather is clear, we will be able to see all the way to Sweden.

We walk from Klampenborg Station to Ulvedalene, the "Valley of the Wolfs", which every 3rd year provides the settings for an outdoor theatre. From there we will walk back through the forest to Klampenborg Station. We can walk a short detour in order to pass by the amusement park Bakken.

Did you know that there was a healing spring in Dyrehaven, which gave power and strength! And at one time there have been more than 200 pubs.

Dyrehaven is a popular place for excursions, and there are always many outdoor activities going on. It is possible to hire a chariot, if you wish to experience the forest from a horse-powered wagon, however that must be booked and paid for in advance. We can assist with all that of course.

The tracks we walk are partly laid with gravel and partly forest tracks, which can be uneven.

We will start the tour at Slotsholmen, see Christiansborg, the seat of the Danish parliament and discuss the historical relevance of the site for the Danish history.

I will show you the architectonical monuments of King Christian the IV, the arsenal and the old stock exchange, Børsen.

Thereafter we will have a look at the site of the royal shipyard on Bremerholm and the Church of Holmen. We will pass by the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Arts and after that we will walk to Nyhavn. From Nyhavn we will continue towards Amalienborg, where we will have the chance to discuss the Danish monarchy and the Oldenborg and Glücksborg dynasties.

The guided tour includes also the statue of the Little Mermaid, the Round Tower and much more.

The old port of Vesterbro is torn down and the city expands along Vesterbro Street. It was decided by the city counsel that all slaughtering was to take place in slaughter houses; as a consequence the stalls at Trommesalen were closed and the Brown meat market was built.

The area is expanding, life is not boring but rough! They don't lack aquavit.

We meet for the city walk at Vesterbros Torv and you will be told about the area; we are visiting court yards. We walk down Istedgade, through the Shooting Range, through an area built for the labourers at Carlsberg Brewery.

The city walk ends after having seen the surroundings at Carlsberg and hearing the history of the brewery.

On a 3 hour bicycle ride I tell you about the new and trendy Copenhagen.

We ride on the new cycle route "Havneringen", the harbour ring, through the new canal towns across bicycle bridges, including the "Slangen", the snake. We look at modern urban planning and Dutch-inspired buildings, and I talk about well-known foreign and Danish architects who have made their mark here and why.

We cycle from the citizen's house on Islands Brygge, through Islands Brygge, Nokken,
over the lock at Sjællandsbroen; through Sluse- and Teglholmen, Kalvebod Brygge, Blox, Havnegade, the Royal Theatre over the "Kissing Bridge" to the North Atlantic Brygge, along the waterfront to the former B&W grounds, across the new bicycle bridges "Circle Bridge" "Spider Bridge" at Langebro and finish at Harbour Park at Islands Brygge's civic house.

Along the way there will be stops, where I tell you about the town planning of each area and why it looks the way it does. There will be an opportunity to eat at the Citizens' House or at the street food stalls at the "Kissing Bridge".

If you want to experience modern Nordic urban planning and architecture up close, come along!

Møns Klint – one of Denmark's most beautiful landscapes. Møns Klint hides so many exciting stories, just waiting to be told. I share these on a hike along the cliff. 

As a guide with extensive experience in tours to Møns Klint, I tell the story of the cliff's formation and a dramatic chapter of Earth's history. I talk about where it's believed an asteroid struck the Earth, the significance of supervolcanoes, the formation of Denmark, and the great glaciers of the last Ice Age.

We will walk along the cliff and experience the beautiful view over the Baltic Sea. Of course, we will also head down to the beach where we can find various fossils from the Cretaceous Sea and experience the cliff up close.

If you're interested in finishing the guided tour at Møns Klint with a meal at a restaurant close to the cliff, that can be arranged. Just remember to mention it when you book.

A city walk and guided tour where I wish to give you an impression of the "Merchants' Harbour". Step into the time machine and let yourself be transported 800 years back in time. Beneath today's shoes and stilettos, the city conceals centuries of historical layers of archaeological remnants. It's truly fascinating.

During this city walk, I will tell you about all the forgotten and hidden stories that lie behind the facades and street names, and about some of the exciting archaeological discoveries that, in their own unique way, help tell Copenhagen's history.

As Søren Kierkegaard said: "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk" – and I would like to add – or to explore the city's history.

Nørrebro is a wonderful multicultural area of Copenhagen.

Here you will find the famous cemetery for many famous Danish persons, such as Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard. This city walk will also show you the differencies within the many people living in Nørrebro.

Nørrebro is an old "hyggeligt" working class area, twisted with people from other countries such as the Middel East, Latin America and Africa.

The tour will show you nice places on the way to the cemetery, but the places also have dramatic stories with youth rebellion in 1970's and 1980's and recistance during WW2.

When Harald Bluetooth came to Roskilde, he built the first church where the cathedral stands today – the burial church of the Danish kings and queens. The city was the capital of Denmark for several centuries, which still characterizes it today.The city walk starts with a one-hour tour of the cathedral, which is a journey through 1000 years of Danish history.

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.

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.

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.
