Book this tour to guarantee your spot on the public, TIPS-BASED Politically Incorrect Copenhagen Highlights walking tour.
Are you a HISTORY BUFF? This tour is probably NOT for you.
Our Politically Incorrect guides blend humour with history, creating a tour for those who are tired of traditional sightseeing and excited by the idea of being pleasantly offended. Our guide will try to make you laugh (even when you -probably- shouldn't) as we uncover the stories hidden in Copenhagen’s historic streets.
In this 2 hour tour, you will walk the same cobblestoned streets as H.C. 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! A thousand years of history in 2 hours. Save your phone battery, our guides have built-in GPS.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Please arrive 10 minutes before the tour. We meet at Gammel Strand outside the Metro Station. Find the ORANGE umbrella! The tour is not guaranteed if you are not there on time/before it starts.
We'll end close to the royal palaces (Amalienborg). Each guide has their own ending point, but the approximate area is correct. This is NOT the starting point! You will miss the tour if you head here instead of Gammel Strand/Bishop Absalon!
