Fun and interesting overview of Copenhagen
Michelle was a wonderful guide! She was vibrant and shared so many interesting facts and stories. The experience gave us a great overview of Copenhagen and helped us get our bearings to explore on our own. Michelle was great at answering all our questions and we had lots of laughs along the way. We can highly recommend the tour and Michelle!!

Boring and uninspired
Led by a 20 year old with little knowledge. We walked from stop to stop in silence and she knew very basic information she was given to memorize. No substance, very little history besides the 1-2 facts she memorized, no context and at every stop- “ya I don’t have much else to say.” Not sure if she even had a pulse. Left an hour early because it was pointless to continue. A waste of time and money when the company can’t invest in well trained and knowledgeable guides. Especially disappointing when they cancelled my initial booking same day due to the guide being sick only to wait 5 days for this.

Best Way to Explore Copenhagen!
Amit was our amazing guide on this very thorough and enjoyable walk through the highlights of Copenhagen. He had an immense knowledge of the city and its history as well as that of Denmark as a whole. His tour provided us with so many personal recommendations of other activities to do and restaurants to enjoy in the city which truly made our visit unforgettable. The small group made it that much more enjoyable and was at a pace everyone could enjoy!

Copenhagen Highlights: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Copenhagen Highlights: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people cost?
+
Prices start at $48 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: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people 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: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 534 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Copenhagen Highlights: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people?
+
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: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people 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: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people?
+
Around 187 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: Small Group Walking Tour - Max 10 people 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 Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Copenhagen Highlights 3 Hour Bike Tour with local Guide. 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.
