About this experience
Copenhagen has a dark history that few people know about... The Slaves of Copenhagen is a dramatized, historical audio tour that takes you on a walk from Nyhavn and into the area around Amalienborg Castle in Copenhagen. Along the way, you will be introduced to unique Copenhagen buildings and sculptures that draw blood-red threads directly back to Denmark's time as a slave-trading nation. You will also be taken to Ghana in the year 1802. Here you will experience up close how the 14-year-old Kwame is kidnapped by slave hunters. You follow his cruel journey from the African coast across the merciless Atlantic to a new life in the New World.

Wonderful Walking Tour
I wanted to take a black history tour when in Copenhagen but could not find one so when I came across this one I was a little skeptical. I am so glad that I gave this a chance. This tour was wonderful. It was very informative and was very easy to follow. I learned so much about the history of slavery in Copenhagen.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen?
+
Around 0 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen 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.
