We recently visited Copenhagen for the first time and began our stay on the day we arrived with this wonderful tour with Monica. It was the perfect overview of the city and Monica shared her love of the city and the many areas to explore with enthusiasm and expertise. Thank you Monica! Copenhagen Kickstart City Tour

Nous avons eu le privilège d’être accompagnées par Monica pour le tour des highlights de Copenhague. Monica est très intéressante et mélange culture, histoire et vie quotidienne de la ville. On voit qu’elle adore sa ville et le transmets à ses clients. J’ai particulièrement aimé ses conseils culinaires et ses recommandations, j’ai aimé tout ce qu’elle a conseillé! Aussi, elle nous a fait faire des découvertes que nous n’aurions pas vues, c’est qui est un gros plus. Elle nous remet une liste de ses incontournables, super pratique. Grace à ses explications, nous avons appris à nous repérer efficacement dans la ville. Si je retourne à Copenhague, c’est certain que que je ferai son tour culinaire! Merci Monica pour ton temps, ta bonne humeur et tes bon conseils! 10⭐️!!!Super experience!!

(About local Bo Michael)

17 May 2025

I highly, highly recommend touring with Bo Michael. Too many times when you visit a new city you only hit the well known tourist spots. But for a richer, more in depth experience, scheduling a tour with Bo Michael is the best! We were a group of four and it was both educational and conversational. We loved everything about it. He took us to several places of interest and other spots that we never would have considered. The view from the film institute was fantastic! This is our second time with a With Locals guide (the first was Eamus in Ireland) and we will never visit a new city without putting a With Locals tour on the the first day of the visit. Best Investment!

Monica’s tour was fun and a wonderful introduction to Copenhagen. She pointed out the main sights to see and helped us with an orientation of this historic city. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the markets afterwards, based on her recommendation and have had a few coffees and pastries at another of her suggested stops. The summary pdf has been useful for the next few days we had wandering alone. Thanks Monica! Great introduction to Copenhagen

Monica was an excellent guide. She took us on an interesting tour of nearly 2 hours. She went beyond simply describing the sights and told us much about Danish society and the way the country is responding to conservation issues. A much more interesting and informative way of taking a short tour. She was also very friendly and engaging.Lively and informative

6 January 2025

Grazi was an amazing guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our tour, even stopping to lets us get suitable woollen socks as our feet were cold. Grazi knew a lot about Sweden and Denmark so was able to give us a good understanding of the history of both countries. She gave us the background of all the usual tourist spots, but also took us to some great, lesser known spots for coffee or a photograph. We ended at a fabulous spot for lunch. We were only in Copenhagen for the weekend, but the tour definitely made us want to come back again. A wonderful tour through Copenhagen

Caio was an amazing guide with a wide reaching knowledge of not just Copenhagen's history and buildings but the culture, the economics, the politics, the construction and architecture and of course the food!! Caio knew we had an interest in construction and architecture and tailored the tour to provide us with fascinating facts about the buildings and infrastructure. Caio was a funny and warm guide who showed us so much of Copenhagen. Far exceeded our expectations. Caio provided recommendations for food, drinks and general tips for navigating the city that we found really invaluable. I couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better walking tour. The Tour that went Above and Beyond!

She is extremely knowledgeable about the city, including its history, culture and food. When I went out in the city the next day, I was confident and felt like I had a great foundation to get to know CPH even better. I highly recommend Grazi! Grazi is great — book a tour with her!

Caio was punctual and very warm. He taught us about Copenhagen’s history and current events. He had a lot of helpful recommendations and taught us how to navigate the city. Also, we came with our 3 year old and he easily accommodated her frequent requests for a snack stop despite this not being a food tour. Thank you again Caio! 10/10 would recommend!

It was nice to have a walk with Caio through Copenhagen. We walked ways we would have Never walked by ourselves, because usualy you go from Highlight to Highlight. If a local guide like Caio can tell you Stories about different buildings, bridges, small pieces of history, so can remember it, the city becomes alive and get‘s a face. I think you can‘t have more in 90 minutes. Thanks Caio and greetings to your Woge and your son. All the best from Christian, Hanna and Lea. A nice walk through Copenhagen

We only had time for a 1.5h tour on a sunny but icy Saturday morning, but Maria helped us make the most of our visit by showing us some highlights and local quirks, really bringing the city and its rich history to life. She was particularly patient and engaging with our 11 year old boys, and even followed up with some extra information for them after we had left. Thank you, Maria, for such a great whistle stop tour -- we'll be back! Great Introduction to CPH

Hisham is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable on the history and culture of Copenhagen. Me and my partner had booked withlocals for our first day in Copenhagen. We learnt so much in our two hour tour, that we were well equipped to continue our break and choose where we wanted to revisit, to gain a greater insight into those places that interested us. There were so many small details that Hisham covered, that we could have lived in Copenhagen for a year and never known about without his guidance. I would absolutely recommend a guided tour with Hisham in Copenhagen and withlocals wherever your break may be. Awesome tour of Copenhagen

Our guide Hisham was knowledgeable, interesting, and interested. He was also great fun. We saw the squares, statues, churches, old streets – a walking history and cultural tour. Due to a marvelous coincidence of timing, we also managed to see the Queen arriving back at the Royal Palace. Two excellent hours.Brilliant way to experience Copenhagen
