Highlights
  • Copenhagen King’s Square - Our meeting point, centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget. The largest square of the city, it was laid out by Christian V in 1670 in connection with a major extension of the fortified city, and has an equestrian statue of him at its centre. The initiative moved the centre of the city from the medieval area around Gammeltorv, at that time a muddy medieval marketplace, to a cobbled new square with a garden complex, inspired by the Royal city planning seen in Paris from the early 17th century.
    Important buildings facing the square include the Royal Danish Theater from 1874, the Charlottenborg Palace from 1671 (now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), the Thott Palace from 1683 (now the French Embassy), the Hotel D’Angleterre and the Magasin du Nord department store.
What's Included
  • Entrance fee for Tivoli park for ages 8 and up

Additional Information

Copenhagen’s highlights can be experienced within easy walking reach, immersing you in its rich cultural history. This tour will lead you through a thoughtfully planned walk through the old city, unveiling its famous landmarks along with their backstories. The journey commences with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens, continues to the City Hall Square, the Christiansborg Palace—which serves as the Danish Parliament and houses the Royal Reception Rooms—the 17th century Old Stock Exchange, the Royal Theatre, and the vibrant canal of Nyhavn. From there, a stroll along the harbor takes you past the grand Playhouse and the ultra-modern Opera House, Copenhagen’s relatively recent additions. Your journey will culminate at the Amalienborg Palace, the stately residence of the Danish Royal Family, vigilantly guarded by the royal protectors. Subsequently, you will venture to the ‘Kongens have’ royal garden, where Rosenborg Castle, the favored summer abode, awaits. The tour concludes with a return to the Tivoli Gardens.

Great ride - I had to do the visit on foot but a Tripadvisor error and the great flexibility and understanding of the service provider allowed me to have an excellent time. I recommend that you call or write directly to the service provider to avoid any unpleasant surprises. I am disappointed with Tripadvisor because it is the 2nd problem I encountered during this trip and although mistakes are allowed, it is annoying to run in all directions and waste time. It’s a shame because in general, everything goes very well when booking via Tripadvisor.

Good recovery and tour - We booked a group tour on the Scandinavian Guides website. There was a problem with the booking and we called/texted Luis. The group tour had been cancelled. He apologized for not advising us in advance but committed to find us an alternative in 30 minutes. He called and arranged for us to have a private guide, Jamie, meet us in 30 minutes. We met up with Jamie and had a great tour. Jamie was knowledgeable, friendly and had a good sense of humor. We saw people and places in the old town that we would have never seen on our own. Luis followed up several times to make sure we were satisfied. Luis was able to turn around a customer problem and skillfully made it a success. He took accountability and made it happen.

Disappointed in this tour - There were very few memorable parts to this tour. I promote Viator to many people. I was disappointed in this tour. I would have preferred the guide, Vasco, to have introduced himself to me when I found him at the meeting place. There were 6 other people in our group, he did not have those in the group introduce themselves, which is a nice thing to do. The tour seemed very discombobulated. The guide seemed to be in a big hurry to get the tour finished. He walked very quickly and, left several of us catching up, while starting his speech before everyone caught up. I was disappointed in the over presentation of the tour. With a good map, a written dialogue, I could have done this on my own.

Terrible customer service - No memorable reviews here - you’re cancelled after the fact. No one even bothered to tell me & I was there 15 mins early. Not cool.

A bit disappointing - It seemed as though our guide had not done this tour before. While his commentary and direction during the tour was OK, he did not seem to have a broad sense of knowledge as there were some questions he was unable to answer. He had trouble accessing our Trivoli tickets, but eventually was able to retrieve them and get us checked in. He made no comment about Trivoli, he just got us checked in and that was that. Fortunately, I knew something about it and was able to educate the other couple, who knew absolutely nothing about it or what it was. Overall we were a bit disappointed, and felt that we did not get value for our money.
