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

Fabrine was a wonderful guide and was able to take us to a number of great places that I had not been to before. She has good relationships with all the vendors we visited and her knowledge of food and Danish history really made the tour very enjoyable. Because our tour was in the afternoon she stopped by the bakery before our tour to make sure we got all the key pastries before they were sold out. I would suggest being hungry before starting the tour, my husband and I couldn’t eat everything and luckily were able to take the things we couldn’t eat back home with us to have for later. I would definitely recommend the tour and having Fabrine as your guideAfternoon 10 Tasting tour

We had a very good time with Fabrine. We had a lot of different tastings starting from hot dogs, bakeries, restaurant and food markets. On our way we also learned a lot about the culinary scene and heard stories about the town and the Danish habits. We had some enjoyable hours with Fabrine and we highly recommend this tour.Food tour with Fabrine

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!

Fabrine was a wonderful city guide. The perfect balance of historical facts and local culture for our first-time visit to 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!

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.

Spent 3 hours with this wonderful lady! Fabrine was a fountain of knowledge about historical data as well, of course, food. She took the time to explain what and why we were tasting what we were tasting. Good variety of samples. She took the time to make sure our experience would be to our liking. We are very happy with this tour. Oh, and by the way, she sent us a ton of ideas/links to further enhance our stay not only here but when we visit Aarhus.Fabrine was the bomb!

Our group of family from the US enjoys eating as a way to experience the varied cultures of countries we travel to. In this case, the four of us met in Copenhagen and set up this tour with Fabrine. Prior to our meeting, we were able to communicate easily to discuss any dietary needs. The meeting place was easy to locate and our tour started on time. Fabrine quickly was able to establish a connection with us and communicate the food and drink that make not only Copenhagen, but Denmark special. We soon were asking questions and getting the details we seek when engaging on these type of tours. We certainly enjoyed our time together and now have the memories that will be reflected not only in photos we have of Denmark, but the smells and tastes that accompany the food we ate together. The entire sensory experience was worth our time, and likely anyone else’s too. Thanks Fabrine!Wonderful Copenhagen Sensory Experience

Fabrine gave me an opportunity to try a nice variety of authentic Danish foods which were found in areas not frequented by tourists. We started with the best local hotdog. Other foods included herring, fish cakes, special meatball, pastries and chocolate. If you like food, this is the tour for you.Good Food Experience

A private food tour is the perfect way to see Copenhagen. We did this our first day in and it was absolutely the way to go. We learned about the local food, amazing spots to try on our trip, and got tips for navigating Copenhagen that we genuinely used the whole trip. Our guide was so lovely and we wish she could have spent the whole day with us.You must book this!

Tour was so much fun! We walked around central Copenhagen and tried 6 local dishes. These were not "tastings"but full sized servings. Fabrine, the host, is so friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the foods you get to try.Come hungry!
