    Eye opening tour with Laura

    I was on tour with Laura and I had such a blast! I’ve been living in Copenhagen myself for a while and actually recently started working as a tour guide myself, so I was interested in seeing if there was more to learn myself. And yes, there was! Learned some cool new facts, stories and saw some more hidden parts of Copenhagen! The group size was perfect, everything felt very personal and I loved the little coffee stop as well;)

    Interesting and friendly tour round variety of interesting spots

    Laura, the local guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She adjusted the pace to fit all the people on the tour. She took us round some interesting historic back streets as well as showing us the changing of the guard at one of the royal palaces. Well worth the cost of the tour.

    Exceptional hidden gems experience

    We accomplished a lot in 2.5 hours. Our guide, Laura, led the tour with a relaxed place. We got to see some of the must-see highlights of Copenhagen as well as some truly hidden gems that few tourist guides would bother mentioning. She was very knowledgeable about the places she took us to, as well as about life and Copenhagen and Denmark in general. She really understood the foreigner’s perspective. Highly recommended.

    Lovely morning learning about Copenhagen with Laura, who we had to ourselves. Definitely worth the price of admission.

    Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.

    How much does Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Copenhagen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Copenhagen is not rushed.

    Is Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Copenhagen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Copenhagen and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Copenhagen Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Local Guide start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Copenhagen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Copenhagen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Copenhagen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen, Walk & Canal Tour: Copenhagen Highlights + Changing of the Guards, Danish Hygge and Culture Walking Tour in Copenhagen Old Town. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Copenhagen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
