About this experience
The legendary creatures of Danish folklore are more than just the Little Mermaid immortalised by H. C. Andersen. The Danish bestiary also includes such monsters as man-eating trolls, dragons who hoard treasures and fight against bulls, the heraldic wild men depicted on the royal coat of arms and the strange creature known as the ”Sea Bishop”. Even the centre of Copenhagen that draws the most tourists and traffic is haunted by mythical beasts who are seen in statues, reliefs and artwork on buildings. Yet many of these monsters remain unknown to most visitors. You can, however, now fill this gap in your folkloric knowledge with this self-guided GPS audio tour. Download the HidDenmark Monstour VoiceMap unto your Smartphone. It will guide you on a journey from the Tivoli amusement park over the Copenhagen Stock Exchange to the canals, while narrating how weird tales of strange and terrible beings have shaped the capitol of the country.

Would highly recommend - we really enjoyed the stories mixed with the history of some of Copenhagens must see sights.
This is a very fun experience! The tour is informative and the audios automatically play when you have reached another stop. Even if you take a wrong turn the app steers you back on track. We really enjoyed this experience. All in all it took us 1.5 hrs walking a a slower pace and only stopping occasionally at certain stops for some extra time to wander. Would definitely recommended to anyone visiting the area. We saw parts of Central Copenhagen that we hadn’t explored so far on our trip.

Quirky Sample
Great sampling of a focused experience. Interesting anecdotes and references opened the possibility for more research.

Great walking tour of Copenhagen
This is a fun way to do a walking tour of Copenhagen. The narrative was interesting and entertaining. We enjoyed how it integrated gps technology so that the narrator started when we arrived at the next stop. No need to hit pause and restart-just walk at your own pace.

Well worth it
We saw places we would never have found by ourselves and enjoyed the stories. This tour was one of the best experiences we had in Copenhagen.

Not as interesting as it sounds, but worth the money
Two questions should be asked about the "Monstour tour:" Is it good, and is it worth the money? These two questions, which are usually inseparable, get opposite answers in this case due to the relatively low price. In fact, the tour offers very little of what it promised (Danish Folk Legends), with too many pauses in between the statues (many of them are already unavailable or damaged). However, it can help you to get acknowledged with a bit of the history and city's geography. So, the tour can be helpful if it is your first day in Copenhagen.
Response from the operator: Hi there, I'm sorry that the content wasn't as informative as you hoped. We will review the tour content and see where updates and improvements may be needed. Thank you for your honest feedback, as this helps us ensure that tour content remains valuable and that improvements can be made over time. Regards, Brent

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends take?
+
Plan for about 1.6 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 Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 20 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 Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends?
+
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 Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends?
+
Around 7 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 1.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monstour: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Danish Folk Legends 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, Walk & Canal Tour: Copenhagen Highlights + Changing of the Guards, Danish Hygge and Culture Walking Tour in Copenhagen Old Town. 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.
