Must do if you love food and sight seeing

Husband and I really enjoyed this tour! It struck a great balance between street food at the market, visits to small local shops, and meals at several sit-down restaurants. We especially liked that the tour covered several different districts of Copenhagen (with one short subway ride included). Unlike many other food tours, this one was about much more than just food. We also learned about the culture and history of each district, which made the experience much more interesting and meaningful. The tour lasted three hours, but we didn’t feel tired at the end because the route was so thoughtfully planned. We also loved the variety of food choices. The tour included traditional Danish dishes as well as other types of food, giving us a great taste of Copenhagen’s diverse food scene. Highly recommend this tour if you enjoy a wide variety of food and want to experience different sides of Copenhagen!

Response from the operator: Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the combination of food, local shops and different neighbourhoods, and especially that you found the tour to be about much more than just food. We love showing guests the different sides of Copenhagen, including the history and culture behind the places we visit and the food we taste. It’s wonderful to hear that the variety and carefully planned route made for such an enjoyable experience. Thank you for joining us and for the strong recommendation!

Unfortunately disappointing experience

We always start our travels in a new city with a food tour because it’s usually a great way to get an introduction to both the city and its cuisine. We’ve done food tours in Vancouver, Austin, Chicago, Milan, Munich, Miami, Iceland, and Amsterdam, so we have a pretty good basis for comparison. Unfortunately, Yummy Copenhagen was by far the most underwhelming and uninteresting food tour we have ever done. The tour lasted about four hours, yet we learned almost nothing about Copenhagen’s neighborhoods, Danish food culture, or even the places where we stopped. The food itself was incredibly disappointing: one pastry, a meatball, a taco, and open-faced sandwiches. Nothing felt particularly special or memorable. We did food tour of past and present. Most of the time was spent simply walking, much of it through areas that felt more like business districts than interesting neighborhoods. We even passed other food-tour groups along the way whose stops and food looked significantly better. For the amount of time and money involved, this was absolutely not worth it. We left feeling like we had learned very little about Copenhagen and experienced very little of its food scene. Definitely a waste of both time and money.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that our Yummy Copenhagen Modern Food Tour did not live up to your expectations, especially as you have enjoyed food tours in many other cities. We have looked into exactly what was served during your experience, and I can see that there were several additional food elements included beyond what you have mentioned in your review. That said, I am very sorry to hear that you still came away with the feeling that the experience was not comprehensive enough. That said, we take your feedback about the storytelling seriously. A big part of what we want our guests to take away from the tour is not simply a taste of Danish food, but an understanding of Copenhagen, its neighborhoods and the history and culture behind the places and dishes we visit. We are sorry to hear that you felt this part of the experience was missing. Our Yummy Copenhagen Modern Food Tour is designed around the idea of combining food with Copenhagen’s past and present, and naturally involves quite a bit of walking between stops. We understand that this may not be the right format for everyone, particularly if you are looking for a tour with less walking or a stronger focus on sitting down and eating. We are sorry that the experience was not the introduction to Copenhagen you had hoped for, but we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Feedback like this helps us look critically at how we can make sure the food, the storytelling and the connection to the city all feel equally worthwhile to our guests.

Classic danish food and history

Our guide, Therese was delightful. We had a 3+hr walking tour. We visited several different places and ate a variety of classics danish dishes. We learned a lot of historical information. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Copenhagen with Therese. Combining Danish food with the stories and history behind it is exactly what we aim for, so it's lovely to know you enjoyed both the flavours and the experience. Thank you for your recommendation!
