We had a really great time at the tour, our guide (Papito) was very funny and entertaining and at the same time he gave us a lot of information about the city and her history, the buildings, the royal family etc. We would recommend it to anyone!

Papito is a great guide! He showed a lot of places in the center of Copenhagen and told a lot about Danish royals (I almost remembered who did what :-D ). The tour was filled with jokes and funny stories. We also got many recommendations on what other place worth visiting and where to get the most delicious local food. It would be nice to hear more about important events in history of Denmark.

Discover how to travel like a local! The best Essential Free Tour of Copenhagen will show you around the best highlights and take you to one of the most picturesque places in the city, the district of Nyhavn, lined with brightly colored houses. This is a great place to relax, take some scenic photos for your social media and watch the boats sail the canal. Just a short walk away, the group can visit one of the landmarks of the city, the Round Tower, built in the 17th century as an astronomical observatory. If possible, take a look at its very unique equestrian staircase, made so horses could go all the way to the top of the building! After this, walk the main pedestrian street in Copenhagen, the Stroget. There, your group will find anything from budget-friendly chains to the most luxurious brands.

Just a short stroll away, your local guide will introduce your group to Amalienborg, winter home of the Danish Royal family. This place is famous for the changing of the royal guard, and you can experience it every single day at noon, as they march from the barracks through the whole of Copenhagen city. The magnificent Frederik’s Church, known as ‘the marble church’ has the largest dome in the whole of Scandinavia, with a span of more than 31 meters. And, of course, you can´t miss one of the absolute landmarks of the city: the Little Mermaid statue. Hear the story behind this statue, depicting a mermaid becoming a human by the sea. It’s based on the famous story by immortal Danish author Hans Christian Andersen — who also wrote ‘The Ugly Duckling’.
