About this experience
Join me on a journey that brings this charming town to life by experiencing Copenhagen the way that the locals do. We'll blend history, culture and flavours as we wind our way down the backstreets of the Old Town and listen to some engaging tales of Copenhagen and its fascinating history. On the way we’ll stop off some of the best-kept-secret pubs of this fairytale town and feel the 'hygge' while we sample the local beers. We'll visit a food market and indulge in some of Denmark's most popular delicacies and wash them down with a Snaps or whatever you fancy. We'll talk of days gone by that make this an unforgettable experience. Take a stroll down some of the oldest cobbled streets and squares that bring the past to life on our walk around The Old Town town, and when we're done you'll understand why the Danes are some of the happiest people on the planet.
