Monica is a lovely tour guide. She has been living in Denmark for many years, and as a native Italian from Sicily, she really understands both quality and sustainability and makes this a central theme in her food tour of traditional Danish dishes.A food tour about quality and tradition

Our food tour in Copenhagen was an absolute delight! Fabrine was not only fun and engaging but also knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and culture. She wove fascinating stories about Copenhagen into the experience, making it so much more than just a food tour—it felt like a journey through Danish life and traditions. What really stood out was Fabrine's ability to introduce us to foods that were truly unique to Danish culture. From traditional smørrebrød to lesser-known local delicacies (like Rhubarb juice). Beyond the delicious food, Fabrine's warm and friendly demeanor made all of us feel welcome to Copenhagen. If you’re in Copenhagen and want an authentic taste of Denmark paired with an insightful cultural experience, this tour is a must. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable way to explore the city! A Delicious Dive into Danish Culture

We had a wonderful experience with Monica. She happily accommodated our family, including two kids and a vegetarian. Her energy and warmth kept the kids going without any complaints. She told us about sights as we walked and we had a perfect mix of foods. Thank you, Monica!Fantastic food tour!

Monica was brilliant, she had a great personality and told us stories about Copenhagen and introduced us to some tasty tastings along our tour! I was the only vegetarian in the group and she catered for me which was great. The only thing i would say is we thought this tour was slightly expensive for the number of tastings we had (which was nothing to do with our tour guide) but we don't have another food experience to compare it to. All in all we had a great day and would recommend to other people :)Great day out!

We had a great experience with Fabrine. She showed up on time, was very friendly and really knew a lot of the history of Copenhagen. We enjoyed the day with her and she took us to many neat locations in Copenhagen. We even ended up have more tastings than promised which was a nice bonus and she definitely catered the tour around our interests. My husband also has a bad leg so she was very conscious of the walking speed and gave us plenty of breaks for him. I would definitely book with Fabrine if you are going to be in Copenhagen. Thanks for a great time, Fabrine!Great Private Tour with Fabrine!

My husband and I had arranged to meet Fabrine at the beginning of our first trip to Copenhagen, it was the best decision. Fabrine gave us a wonderful insight into the Danish culture, not only food related but culturally, things we would not have known without her knowledge. Fabrine was warm and friendly and took us to wonderful local/ ‘non tourist’ places for a true feel of Copenhagen life. Absolutely loved our time spent with her and would highly recommend. She was also very generous in her passing on recommendations of exciting places to visit, things to see and places to eat. Invaluable if this is your first time visit. Thank you Fabrine for opening our eyes to the true Copenhagen way. Love Shereen & RobGreat introduction to Copenhagen

We enjoyed Fabrine's version of a food tour through Copenhagen. She carefully selected a tasty variety of local foods, explaining how and when they were eaten. She put a personal touch on the tour by connecting the dishes to the places she took us to and why, as well as where they fit into Danish culture. Her own outgoing personality and stories made the few hours we spent with her even more enjoyable.Thoughtful selection, great host.

One of the many things Claudio taught us on the afternoon we spent with him was the Danish word “hygge.” Hygge means a feeling of cozy conviviality…feeling welcome and content. Hygge is the perfect word to describe our time with Claudio. He is warm and welcoming right from the start! He is not only an expert on the culinary arts in Copenhagen, but he is extraordinarily well-versed in Danish history and culture and you can feel how much he enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. We loved everything we tasted…hotdogs, meatballs, open-faced sandwiches, new-fangled chocolate, Danish pastry and, of course, beer. By the end of our tour we were well satiated with food and stories, and we felt like we made a friend. We cannot recommend Claudio highly enough. He is a special guy!Much more than just a food tour

We met Claudio on our first day in Copenhagen. Our appointment was a couple of hours after we reached the hotel. It turned out to be the best idea. He was great at giving us a sense of the place and the historical background but he also introduced us to the local food profile. The tips he gave us were very useful for the entire length of our stay and we made sure to visit some of the restaurants he suggested. We are very glad we did. Claudio knows the best spots and all the history. He will not let you down.The best introduction to the city.

We took a food tour with Grazi in Copenhagen. She is one of the best. She knew history of the city (which my husband loved) as well as human interest stories (which I loved). Grazi made sure we had food that we loved and still introduced us to things we wouldn't have tried and are so glad we did. I feel like we ate a good smattering of cultural food and understand why the food culture is what it is in Copenhagen. I returned home with a full belly and a big smile. I look forward to returning to Copenhagen and Grazi is a big part of why. I just know you'll love her if you take her tour. Cheers! Grazi is a Star!

Our time with Grazi was exceptional. A few hours which we felt were very well spent. She showed us the most amazing food experiences in Copenhagen. We actually repeated some of the food in the following days in the same places she had taken us on the tour. We definitely tasted the best local products with her: fish, meat, salads, open sandwiches, cakes, ice cream, chocolates. She is a lot of fun and knows the city and where exactly to go. She even took us to a shop on purpose to buy sweets for my daughter’s school friends. My husband, my daughter, and I really felt that she dedicated her time to please us and was eager to show all she could. I unquestionably recommend her for family tours.Amazing food tour

My family spent the morning with Grazi on a food tour, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Copenhagen. Grazi was so personable and took us to great places to try a variety of tasty local, organic foods. She also made sure to include our nine year old son which we really appreciated. Throughout the tour, Grazi shared information about past and current day Copenhagen and answered all of our questions. Grazi’s warm personality made the whole morning feel like we had a friend taking us around, and we really appreciated our time with her. Wonderful!

Our food tour with Claudio was so much more than just a food tour. In addition to taking us to places we’d never have otherwise found, or would have walked right by, to try delicious and typical Danish food that the locals eat, Claudio is filled with historical and cultural knowledge about Copenhagen and the Danish people. He was flexible and changed up the itinerary on the spot just to show us a place he thought we’d appreciate based on our conversation. Highly recommend touring with Claudio- you will not be disappointed!! Great tour, warm, knowledgeable guide!

31 December 2023

Bo was nice enough, but it wasn’t a good value for what we paid. We went to a chain pastry shop - which at an hour before closing was out of the best pastry, a hot dog stand and ate an open sandwich at a food hall. I’ve been on numerous food tours, it’s one of my favorite ways to explore a new city, but this didn’t feel like one. Beyond not having the expected 4-6 stops, Bo couldn’t tell us why hot dogs are popular for Danes or other food traditions unless we prompted him. All in all, I would not recommend this tour. Not a great value

First of all it was beyond our expectations. It was a 6 food tasting tour. Met at agreed place. You have to give Bo 3-5 minutes to scan you with dry but so much needed questions so he tailor makes tour for you. Also it is part of Nordic culture. So relax and be cool, you are in safe hands with Bo. He loves what is doing, and took us also to some hidden gems and historic places. We highly recommend Bo, and keep asking your interesting questions as he has good answers.Authentic Danish Bo

Claudio was amazing! He was able to adapt the tour for my daughter who is gluten free (even though she couldn’t go in the end because she was sick). He was full of interesting stories and facts. The tour felt like a behind the scenes view of the delicious food in Copenhagen. We got to go in areas we wouldn’t have had access to without Claudio! Wonderful at adapting tour to your needs!
