This tour exceeded all of...
This tour exceeded all of our expectations. Olga was an exceptional host who brought the history of Copenhagen to life with lively storytelling and great sense of humor. As we are in our late 70s, Olga's consideration of our needs as regards pace was invaluable. We never felt rushed, and we got to see things we never would have found on our own, especially the Little Mermaid, which I had incorrectly thought was out in the middle of the harbor, not so near shore. Olga's broad-based background - she was raised in Italy (where she needed fluency in Italian for school), her parents' common language was English, and when she moved to Copenhagen for Graduate School, she needed to learn fluency in Danish are emblematic of what a bright cosmopolitan lady she is, and in no small measure contributed to our enjoyment of the tour. The crowning aspect of our experience with Olga was, that, the tour at a close, she directed us how to return to our Cruise ship, walked us to the tram station, guided me in the purchase of the correct tickets with bus transfer, and told us which bus to take from which tram station. Her directions were flawless, and out journey was wonderfully simple. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Copenhagen Private Walking Tour: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Copenhagen Private Walking Tour: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry cost?
+
Prices start at $118 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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry 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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 127 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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry?
+
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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry 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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry?
+
Around 44 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: Highlights, Secrets and Pastry 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.
