#1 Rated Walking Tour Company in Copenhagen on Tripadvisor

From start to finish Paulina made the tour super interesting and light-hearted! We certainly experienced the Hygge! The added food and drink experiences brought it all together perfectly!

Spending the morning with Jacob felt like hanging out with an old friend. I’ve been on many group tours during my travel abroad and this was probably the best. Thank you, Jacob, for helping me fall even more in love with Copenhagen.

Kristian was a passionate and informative guide showing us not only the highlights of Copenhagen but hidden gems as well. He was easy going and made the tour very personable. I could not recommend the full day option enough 10/10!

We had a great time on this tour, Kristian was an awesome guide and had lots of great information about the history of the city and its landmarks. The snacks we sampled on the tour were good too!

Very insightful tour into life in Denmark and the meaning of “hygge”. Kim was detailed and humorous. We even experienced hygge at the end having coffee and pastries in a cafe.

Michael was an excellent host. His energy, enthusiasm and positivity was infectious. We loved hearing about what hygge is and experiencing the Copenhagen hygge first hand. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Such a great way to take a leisurely stroll around Copenhagen and experience the city come alive in the morning. We started in a quiet part of town and ended up near all of the sites and areas of the city as people strolled about. I was the only person who booked a tour that day and am so glad they did not cancel due to low demand like other tour companies. Amanda was an incredible tour guide and offered great tips from a local for things to do afterwards.

We had a great tour with Karen, she gave us lots of history on the area and we got to sample a range of local beers while immersed in good conversation. Definitely recommend if you want to spend an afternoon learning from a local!

Mikkel and Karen were so much fun to chat with and learn from. It really felt like we were hanging out with friends and not on a tour. The beer was delicious and local. The story telling was historical with modern day stories mixed in. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Jacob and Peter were my guides. They were awesome! Both had great bits of information/suggestions throughout the entire walk. Very helpful for a first time visitor. Be sure to bring really good shoes, you’ll be walking throughout cobblestone areas. I recommend doing this first when you arrive in Copenhagen! It helps you get a feel for the city and where everything is.

Guided tours in Copenhagen

One of the coolest capitals in Europe deserves a close inspection to taste the joy of the world’s happiest peoples’ urban heart. That’s why we offer a huge range of guided tours in Copenhagen to get you Scandi-savvy and attuned with the atmosphere of Denmark’s beloved capital.

Why choose a guided tour in Copenhagen?

Welcoming as it is, the buzz around the bridges, streets and aquatic avenues can put you in a predicament of where to begin in getting to know the city. Fortunately, on our guided tours in Copenhagen, you’ll feel right at home in no time as our welcoming guides are used to introducing your new best friend; the city itself.

What guided tours do you offer?

It’s important that you break the ice of this warm-hearted waterside capital in your way – and with OURWAY Tours, you have a wide selection of guided tours in Copenhagen to choose from.

Gobble up the cobbled streets and architecture-laden avenues on foot with someone who really knows their stuff – one of our knowledgeable and friendly guides. With Copenhagen Must Sees, discover the impulsively Instagramable and colourful houses of Nyhavn, amongst others treasures, before going on to the creme de la creme of Copenhagen’s past. Christiansborg Palace’s fascinating transformation from castle, to palace, to parliament will have you soaking up our stories – and then there’s the supreme storyteller Hans Christian Andersen to hear all about!

Like a bit of wet with your wild explorations? Our Copenhagen From Land To Sea Private Driving Tour takes you to Andersen’s notable character, The Little Mermaid – a contrast to the nearby imposing fortress simply known as The Citadel! Continuing on land, the Copenhagen City Hall is the centre of much city-life just as a fine example of King Christian IV’s love and knowledge of architecture is encapsulated at Rosenborg Castle. Then, summoned by the sea, aboard a canal tour, we contemplate Copenhagen from a new angle.

Join others curious to uncover Copenhagen’s secrets with a public tour – or perhaps a private tour on foot, by boat, bike or car is something that suits you and your group or family. However you want to experience a guided tour in Copenhagen – from walking tours to food tours, activities including biking and segway or marvellous architecture trips – we’re here to guide you to the greatest experience you deserve during your stay.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Copenhagen beyond just the surface

"I had a wonderful and informative experience getting to know Copenhagen with Maria. As a local guide, she not only provided a great introduction of the key sites and their history but also shared her perspective on how that has influenced Danish culture. What had been even more valuable is her personal take on the good and challenges about living in this city, offering a balance that not too many guides provide. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience."

Cool Copenhagen

"We booked our tour with Jeff - a genuine local who has lived in Copenhagen all his life. We wandered through the streets on a rainy day and our 3 hour tour provided a wonderful overview of this cool city. Jeff brought the sites to life and was able to relate everything to living in Copenhagen over the years. His knowledge was first class and he made sure that he left us with some great walking and restaurant recommendations for the remainder of our weekend. Thank you Jeff!"

Great time, great food.

"We loved the tour with Claudio! Not only was he very knowledgeable and gave a bunch of great information about Danish history and culture, the food stops were also very well planned so that we did not get too full too quickly and got to appreciate all the various foods that we tried."

Local Expert

"Mia was great. Right from the start we knew that we had made a good choice. Her knowledge of her home city was matched to her sense of humor. We hit all the highlights and learned about the history of Copenhagen as well as what it’s like to live here today. "

Fabulous Food Tour!

"If you enjoy exploring a new city with a local, look no further. Grazi went out of her way to make sure we got to experience the best that Copenhagen had to offer, and personalized the tour based on what we had already done, as we had been in the city for a few days. She also had loads of interesting facts about the history, and made use of the rainy weather (less people!) by taking us to places that were swamped on a sunnier day. She was a pleasure to spend the day with, and we loved every minute! The food was spectacular, ALL of it! Come hungry! We are thrilled we got to know Grazi. "

Delicious Copenhagen

"Just returned from a wonderful food tour of Copenhagen with Claudio. He was an excellent host and a friendly knowledgeable guide, introducing us to many eating and drinking opportunities that we would have otherwise walked right by. His selection was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed every stop - the roast pork smorrebrod was my personal highlight. Highly recommended."

great guide 👍

"Caio was excellent, knowledgable and made our tour a real treat 👍"

Perfect Combination

"The entire experience provided by Claudio was the perfect combination of history, culture, and food. He did an amazing job of providing you with some great tasting local things to taste, while giving you the background of why it's important and where things are trending. You get to see the city, taste some food, and experience the culture with a local. Fabulous experience, would very highly recommend."

Walk with Claudio

"We all had a great time, even with the rain. It was difficult to choose a favorite stop as each was unique. Loved finishing at Torvehallerne. Enjoyed the insights into Danish history & food culture, which Claudio delivered with humour."

Perfect from beginning to the end..

""Grazi is an extraordinary local guide. She knows the city and its history very well. It was the most enjoyable hours of walking where we saw and learned a lot. It's a delight to talk to Grazi, I strongly recommend her as a guide. Thank you Grazi for creating us wonderful memories. "

The easiest thing to do in Copenhagen? Be happy!

It's no wonder Copenhagen is so often voted the best place to live - there's a special, happy vibe about this compact city of old buildings, winding narrow streets, medieval character & new, modern architecture. Its relaxed lifestyle is demonstrated by laid-back locals enjoying the buzz of shopping on King's Road, unwinding in vibrant cafes in Nyhavn, watching talented performers on Strogret or chilling-out by beautiful canals, the colourful harbour or in wonderful green spaces like Faelledparken, the largest park in Denmark.

Aside from sipping Carlsberg in trendy Norrebro bars, soaking up the nightlife in Vesterbro & tasting local food in fantastic restaurants we recommend joining famously happy local guides for freetour.com free walking tours, including Christiania - a society independent of Danish government established by hippies in 1971 with galleries, music venues & pusher street hash market. An insight to alternative lifestyle & ways of thinking.

There's plenty of history to discover in Copenhagen too, over 1,000 years worth in fact, from Vikings, invasions, battles and Nazi occupation to many interesting sights such as the Tivoli Gardens, the little mermaid, Kronberg castle, Rosenborg castle, palaces & ruins. Copenhagen is a cosmopolitan capital of stylish sophistication where fashionable & cool merge seamlessly with ancient character, culture & historical tradition.
