We had a wonderful few hours with Claudio on a private tour where he showed us ‘his’ Copenhagen and those hidden gems the average traveller misses. He was very engaging, enthusiastic and passionate about Danish history while at the same time telling us about links to Norway and Sweden. He spent a lot of time explaining Copenhagen’s history to help us easily understand how the modern day City came to be - very fascinating. As first time visitors to Copenhagen, this was the perfect introduction to such a wonderful city and we’d definitely recommend Claudio as your host. Claudio’s Copenhagen & Hidden Gems

In mid February Ivana guided us around Central Copenhagen. Informative and friendly we saw lots of sites and had some great fun. Highlight was the food hall and the new library giving us an insight into historic Copenhagen but more importantly for us this most liveable of cities. Thank you Ivana a very friendly informative tour.A cold day in Copenhagen

Maria was a wonderful guide, very personable, knowledgeable and passionate about her adopted city. Tailoring the tour to our needs we firstly explored the central area of Copenhagen and then after a short metro trip arrived in Nordhavnen, a newer residential and business district of Copenhagen. The 3 hours flew by leaving us wanting more of this beautiful city. My wife and I highly recommend Maria as a guide for your next visit to Copenhagen. Hidden gems of Copenhagen

She also gave us some great suggestions for food and things to do during our stay, as well as sights outside the city. Highly recommend Fabrine for a comprehensive overview of Copenhagen, including the “hidden gems”.Fabrine was a gem!

We simply had a perfect three hours city stroll with our lovely guide Mia. Starting near our hotel, Mia took us to different interesting and beautiful places throughout the city. Travelling as a family of four with two kids, Mia always knew how to lift the kids spirits by showing them playgrounds, trampolines by the waterfront etc. Mia was open to our questions and very flexible concerning our wishes and suggestions. She loves the city, showed us beautiful spots and provided us with lots of information and recommendations. By the end of the tour she even brought us to her favourite burger spot. We really enjoyed our time with Mia and can totally recommend her. Perfect city stroll with Mia

Jeff is a lifelong citizen of Copenhagen who loves his city and knows its history in a very deep way: both the history that you can read about, but also the history he has lived, and he shared many stories of the changes in the city in his lifetime. He took us to places and told us of the significance of these places in a way that we couldn't have gotten with out him. He was of good humor and had a good sense of humor. We let him know that we are Jewish, and he was very generous and knowledgeable about that particular history as well.Fantastic tour: priceless

Claudio was a professional and friendly guide who visibly had a lot of interest and pride in Denmark, its history and culture and food scene, which provided a lot of interesting conversation throughout the tour. I really appreciated the candour in sharing, and throwing in a mini chocolate tasting at Torvehallerne too, and sharing some truly hidden gems in Copenhagen. Thank you for your time and knowledge! A pleasant and informative day out!

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.Copenhagen beyond just the surface

My husband and I booked with Hrannar for a 3 hour walking tour around Copenhagen. To be transparent - we’ve booked using Withlocals many times and they are definitely hit or miss, this was a MAJOR HIT! Hrannar was beyond knowledgeable giving just the perfect amount history mixed with culture and traditions of the Danish. I feel like we truly covered everything major in the 3 hours while still having time to chit chat and joke around. This was the highlight of our time in Copenhagen! Don’t think twice about booking with Hrannar.Fantastic!!

Eine 3 stündige Wanderung, die größtenteils stumm verläuft. 3 - 4 Stopps und das ganze fü 240€. Auf einfache Fragen gabs keine Antworten. Habe diese Tour gebucht, weil sie auf deutsch sein sollte, musste aber vor Ort die Führerin fast überreden keine englische Führung durchzuführen. Kann ich nich nicht empfehlen.

Claudio really knows his stuff! We spent the 3 hours walking around the bewildering maze of beautiful streets of Copenhagen and he explained the hundreds of years of history right up to the present culture. It is the best experience, to be able to look instead of trying to navigate from a phone app and he gave us individual attention to our questions instead of being in a large group. It was easy to get around crowds and Claudio knew little passageways and routes for the best views. He gave us a recommendation for our 30th anniversary dinner and it was the most amazing meal and wine pairing we've ever had. Can't give him enough stars, he is a wonderful guide who clearly loves his city.He loves is his hometown and knows it well

Mia gave an excellent tour of the heart of Copenhagen while highlighting interesting history and art that helped us get to know the city - and some of its special quirks - so well. She was very knowledgeable and quite funny. A great storyteller who knows her history. We loved the tour and felt it was high value. We’re glad we booked it towards the beginning of our trip, as afterwards we had a better idea of where we wanted to spend our time. Wonderful and unique experience!!

Mia advised us some very nice spots to go and to eat. She also told a couple of interesting stories. However, the overall impression was quite mixed since Mia was late, didn’t suggest the drink/treat during the excursion and wasn’t driving the conversation. Overall, I would recommend choosing the other guide for Copenhagen. But thank you for your time anyway.Quite nice, but not very insightful

Mia was fantastic on our morning walk of Copenhagen. I’ve not been on a more thorough city walk. It was long enough to get a great feel of the area. She was engaging and offered youthful insight into the changing city. She has a wonderful dry and creative sense of humor which only got better as the walk continued. Loved sharing time with her.

Mia hat uns freundlich und nett mit kleinen Geschichten zu den Orten durch die Stadt geführt. Einziges Manko: Wir wollten gern eine Führung auf deutsch, das war, wie Mia selbst sagte, etwas eingerostet. Es war dann eine Denglisch-Mischung, aber ich glaube, manches hätte mehr gesprudelt bei mehr Sprachsicherheit.Freundlich und nett

Wir hatten am 28.08.2022 unseren Stadtrundgang mit Hrannar. Die Stadtführung wird uns unvergesslich bleiben. Durch Hrannars umfangreiches Wissen über die Stadt, sei es in Geschichte, Kunst, Kultur, Gesellschaft und Tipps zu typisch dänischen Speisen und der dazu gehörigen Gastronomie haben wir viel über die Stadt erfahren. Alle Fragen wurden beantwortet. Da wir die Stadtführung zu Beginn unseres 5-tägigen Aufenthaltes gelegt hatten, konnten wir viele Tipps ausprobieren. Kopenhagen ist eine wundervolle Stadt mit sehr freundlichen Menschen. Vielen Dank, Hrannar! Herrliches Kopenhagen

Jeff was great! He was very responsive before the tour answering my questions and accommodating a convenient meeting location. The tour covered so many interesting, off-the-beaten-path locations and his knowledge of the history of Copenhagen was top notch - he blended the ancient history with more recent past and walked us through the time periods and life experiences of the different classes of people (upper, middle, and poor). So interesting! The time flew by. Highly recommend Jeff and this tour! Absolutely wonderful tour!
