Our tour begins at the open market place Torvehallerne near Nørreport station, where we'll enjoy a refreshment to get ready for our walk. This tour is best for small groups who desire a friendly, personal experience with their guide.

A short distance away, we'll cross Queen Louise's Bridge and the Copenhagen lakes, which formed part of the medieval city's old defensive walls and now provide city dwellers a highly valued recreational area.

On the other side, we'll explore the cool and multicultural Nørrebro district. You'll discover the colourful past of this working-class neighbourhood and also experience its hip and young culture.

After stopping at two attractive and beloved squares, each with its own character, we'll walk through a beautiful park-like cemetery to visit the resting places of world-famous philosophers, musicians, and authors.

There will be ample time to take photographs and we'll end at Queen Louise's Bridge. 

The story of Kronborg in Elsinore – the Castle of Shakespeare's Hamlet,  a special place in Danish history.

Northern Europe's largest Renaissance Castle stores some of the most amazing and disturbing stories.

Kronborg Castle was built to replace the old and outdated fortress Krogen, which had existed since Erik of Pomerania made Elsinore Denmark's second largest city in the 15th century. Kronborg is one of Northern Europe's most important Renaissance castles.

Kronborg holds a love story beyond all limits, as Frederik II build a whole wing for his beloved Sophie, so she could walk with dry shoes from her chamber to the church. 

For centuries, the castle's location, next to the Entrance of Øresund, gave Danish kings the power to control the shipping in Øresund and to collect the much hated "Øresundstold" a special tax for sailing through Øreund.

Fire, wars and shipwrecks are also part of Kronborg's history and stories worth listening to.

Kronborg is now on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

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 by a guide who has done more than 1500 tours.

Hear about the creation of Denmark by king Harald Bluetooth and the importance of the Viking fortification Trelleborg near the town of Slagelse.

I will tell you about the Danish Viking age, the food of the Vikings, their stories and how they fought in battles.Were the Vikings really as fierce and terrifying as their reputation lead us to imagine.

I will also talk about the role that Trelleborg might have played in the creation of Denmark while I take you round what remains of the fortification.

You will also be able to see and hear the fantastic story of how Denmark's only Viking shield was found here.

Trelleborg was not the only Viking fortification in what is now Denmark. We know of 5 Viking fortifications in Denmark and two in Skåne in Sweden. The remaining Viking fortifications in Denmark are: Borrering by Køge also on Zealand, Nonnebakken in Odense on Funen, Fyrkat in Jutland by Hobro og Aggersborg by Limfjorden also in Jutland.

A tasty school of beer and the story of the beer revolution – while you visit the best beer bars in the old city of Copenhagen. 

After the walk you will know the beer types and flavours, and you can tell your friends, what the beer revolution and craft beer are about.

The beer revolution startet in the USA 40 years ago, and reached Denmark 20 years ago as the first country in Europe. An effect of the great beer movement has been around 100 beer styles, thousands of breweries and x-number of different beers.

We shall taste the revolution at Amager Bryghus Taproom Nørreport, Taphouse and Skaal, but we will pass by other interesting watering holes. 

A beer expert, blogger and author will be your guide on this thirst quencing walk.

Do you want to know what a plant hunter is, do you want to use your senses and do you want to hear about "Dead Man's Finger"? Then join me on a guided tour of Haveselskabets Garden in Frederiksberg.

On the tour, I talk about the garden, its history and connection to Frederiksberg Castle. We meet at Frederiksberg Runddel, at the entrance to the garden, where I briefly tell about the garden's beginnings.

Then I take you around the garden, past its buildings and various garden spaces, while I talk about the ideas behind and highlight different plantings. We pass by the garden's parade house and get an insight into the cultural history of various plants.

If you want to expand the experience further, I can also guide you in Frederiksberg Garden.

Søren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher living in Copenhagen in the 19th century.

Kierkegaard has been very important for developing of the existential thinking and even some of Freuds ideas have roots in Kierkegaard's thinking.

2013 was the 200 year anniversary for Kierkegaard's birth. On this city walk you'll learn more about Kierkegaard and Copenhagen.

Join this city walk around Copenhagen, where we will follow the footstep of Søren Kierkegaard.

Guided walk in Korsør, the small fishing village that became an important city for the King and his men.

Korsør has a lot of stories to reveal. We'll walk around the charming city at the edge of Storebælt, visit the old Fortress, the modern Navy centre and several historical sites, including the worlds oldest cinema!

The tour can be extended to one of our beautifull white beaches where you can go for a swim in Storebælt, or to the bridge that connects Zealand with Funen. We could also visit one of the Vikings' largest forts; Trelleborg for an extended tour.

It takes about 20 minutes to drive to Trelleborg, and a guided tour there lasts about one hour.

Visit the magnificent cathedral and the thousand-year-old Viking ships on this guided tour around Roskilde's cultural world heritage.

Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum – two places that are both recognized as unique world cultural heritage. The cathedral is the church in the world that has the most kings and queens buried: 21 kings and 18 queens. At the same time, it is a unique architectural testimony to the changing art and architectural styles of the past as well as a display of the changing views on monarchy in Denmark.

Highlights of the trip are Margrethe the 1st's distinguished tomb and Christian the 4th's beautifully decorated chapel, which displays the king's legacy as a colorful warrior king.

The Viking Ship Museum houses the original 5 Skuldelev ships, Museumsøen houses the large collection of reconstructed Viking ships and Nordic wooden boats that showcase what the original ships looked like a thousand years ago. The boatyard on the Museum Island next to the museum is open from May to mid-October, it imparts vivid Viking Age craftsmanship and boat building culture.

We will visit both places to explore a milleneum of Danish history – from the Vikings' ravages and adventurous spirit to the kings' uniting and pacifying of the country. We will consider the question of who the Vikings really were and get closer to the center of power and the cheerful, touching, and sad stories that surround the Danish kings and queens.

If time allows, we will make a small city walk around the old Roskilde city center, or enjoy new Nordic food at the Viking Ship Museum's Café Knarr.

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.

Holmen's and Garnison's Cemeteries in Østerbro

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 at Reden (1801) and the war of 1864.

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

The chapels also boast of a lot history. The somewhat humble chapel at Garnison's contains a dark history related 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 eachother. The walk is amazingly beautiful, since these cemeteries are park-like areas with large trees and ample benches.
