First Class Tour - Excellent Food and History
This was a great introduction to Copenhagen with history, culture and local foods. Miguel was knowledgeable and spoke clearly so that all could hear him. He walked at a pace that was welcoming for the whole group. Special dietary needs were accommodated when possible. Everything was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour and would do it again on a return visit.

Great food tour!
Lots of walking but flat ground so not difficult. Lots of food and information about the city. Our guide Jonatan was awesome. Simon the manager came out with us also and added some extra background about the city to the excursion. We had a great time.
Response from the operator: Jonatan and Simon will appreciate this. Good to hear the walking felt manageable and that the food, city information and extra background worked well. Best, Peter

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,153 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access?
+
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 Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access?
+
Around 404 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Original Copenhagen food tour: 8 tastings, full meal & VIP access 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.
