We had a private 10 person tour with Paul and he was awesome. He was so knowledgeable, read the group and what we wanted to see. He worked around the crowds, took us to amazing sites and really made it a super fun tour. Our shuttle bus was right there to pick us up for each time we got off the bus. Paul was so fun, and maximized our tour with as much as we could fit in. At the end he dropped us intown where he walked us to his favorite eat spots, make sure we were set before leaving.... I would highly recommend this tour and Paul. He texted me when he was on the dock, and waiting for us. Thank you for the awesome tour Paul.

The tour operator met us at the cruise terminal. This was really valuable to us so we didn’t have to find any meeting place. The weather was bad but we had a great time touring the city and seeing the sights. Our tour guide Breit was wonderful answering questions and giving stories and information. One of the best tours of our trip.

Great day with Anders, despite the rainy weather. Saw the highlights of a very gorgeous city. I would pay extra to add time to the tour to give us more free time as it was rushed

Andres was an excellent guide. His enthusiasm and vast knowledge made Copenhagen come alive. The private car let us proceed at our own pace which made the trip very enjoyable.

"The tour was excellent. Although we had a slight delay getting started bc of traffic, everything went as well as could be expected. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give us some historical perspectives regarding the different sites we were visiting in Copenhagen. The bus was very luxurious and comfortable. The only recommendation I'd make is for the tour to be a bit longer as it seemed rushed at times, and we had very little free time to shop or explore on our own. We wish you much success with the Copenhagen tour, and best of luck!"

We enjoyed this tour. We saw a lot of Copenhagen highlights and the tour guide and bus driver were very accommodating and we enjoyed learning about the city and the history. Only recommendation I'd make is for the tour guide to get a bigger sign for meeting us at the cruise port. She only had "Vexperio" on her cell phone she was holding up and we would have appreciated an easier/more visible sign to meet her. We eventually found her by asking other travellers who appeared to be gathering for a tour.

Our host, Anders, made the tour fun and informative. He was very flexible, adjusting the itinerary after asking us what things we had already seen. He went above and beyond, even buying us some Danish pastries to enjoy. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. We could not have asked for anything more. The price of the tour was a bargain considering the overall experience.
