About this experience
A three hour walking tour in the city center. I am native Danish and have lived 25 years in Copenhagen. We will see the medieval city, Rosenborg, Amalienborg, Christiansborg and Nyhavn (pretty canal). Copenhagen is more than the capital of cosy hygge, it's also a vibrant city of trade and innovation with lots of space for work/life balance, soft urban design and a welfare state that aids every dane from cradle to grave. Follow in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen, whose dream nearly failed before it started, and find out if his own life really was a fairy tale and see where he lived. I've been a tour guide for ten years working for tourism companies. Now I also work independently.

Our group had a lovely...
Our group had a lovely tour of the city with Peter. Our guide took into account what we had already seen and what we were interested in and tailored the tour to our wishes on short notice. We had a good time - can recommend!

Peter was a fun and...
Peter was a fun and enthusiastic host who clearly loved Copenhagen! Well paced and well prepared. He did a great job tailoring our tour for our family with young kids. Even thought through details like exactly when and where to catch the Royal Guard marching through the streets from a great vantage point.

Copenhagen Commentary
Peter was a great tour guide! He not only showed us the must see Copenhagen spots, but also shared a great deal of history and commentary. He was quite funny and was a pleasure to be with. When it’s just two of you and a guide, a cool tour guide is a must!
Response from the operator: Dear Samantha. Thank you for your kind review. We had fun - while we also experienced and learned a lot about Denmark and Copenhagen. Thank you for being such good company :-)

Super Tour with Peter
We had a fantastic tour with Peter, where we not only saw the main sights, but also more “hidden” places that we would never have visited without him. He responded to our wishes and interests (ballet, ATM) and even made the tour longer than announced. He also taught us the Danish way of life and some history in an entertaining way. There were also two small surprises. Peter's German can be understood well and we think the price is fair. In summary: A clear recommendation!
Response from the operator: Liebe Katrin, vielen Dank für deine freundliche Bewertung. Es war mir ein Vergnügen, mit ihr die „geheimen“ Orte zu entdecken und ihr die dänische Lebensart näherzubringen. Vielen Dank, dass ihr beide so angenehme Begleiter waren.

great tour with a great Danish guy! also super with children!
Peter was a realy good gulde - we saw things that we could not have seen or found without the tour (e.g. the mairman) and wouldn't know the story behind (my children (7,10,14) would not listen to me if I would read for them the story out of a guide book). Peter also involved the children and he was able to answer all our questions. He also introduced us to the Danish way of life. And he tried to find out our interests and he gave us tips for the remaining days in Copenhagen. Feedback of our children even some days later (although the tour was 3 hours long!): great tour - they were still talking about the tour days later. A tour with Peter is a good chance to learn something about Copenhagen by a real danish guy (note: We had our tour in German (Peters German is quite good), but Peter also offered English).

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Copenhagen Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Copenhagen Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Private Walking Tour?
+
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 Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Copenhagen Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Copenhagen Private Walking Tour 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, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite. 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.
