Come get dazzled on Denmark’s #1 rated walking tour.
Denmark may appear to have only one season (dreary!), but we can put a spring in your step!
Learn the politically incorrect, yet factual stories of the city and laugh, while walking the streets that those stories were made on. In 90 minutes you will walk the same cobblestoned streets as Hans Christian Andersen, hear stories about historic Denmark and quirky anecdotes about Copenhagen today.
There’ll be a little bit of lore and a little bit of gore, and tales of princes and perversions, gratification and tax equations.
Learn everything you need to know – and just as importantly, what to avoid!
The tour ends a 15-minute walk from the Little Mermaid statue.
