Great host. The food hall was lovely blood for pictures.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience and especially your visit to the food hall. It is a wonderful spot for both local flavors and great photos. We appreciate you joining us.
I did a tour with Mie & Friends a couple of years ago, so when I came back this Christmas and the the opportunity to join their Christmas tour, it was a no brainer for me. I LOVED everything about this tour: The atmosphere, the stories (and the fun way they have connected the viking history to the current Christmas!), the treats and the little game at the end - thank you for another great experience. I hope to come back to Copenhagen and catch even more of your tours one day.
Do you know that feeling when you visit a friend’s hometown, and s/he shows you around, gives you all the historical facts but layers that with the day to day lives of locals? It makes the tour deeply personalized, and you come out of it feeling like you just had a great time, instead of being slammed by a history book. Great time, highly recommended!
We loved our entire experience with Karoline and our group! From start to finish it was a unique experience filled with Jule spirit and history. Loved the game as well! Thank you for the hygge vibes! Highly recommend this tour!
Me and my Mum had the most amazing tour with Therese. She was so knowledgeable and engaging and we loved the stops for food and the game at the end, thank you so much!
My daughter and I had a great time with Therese. Being from Copenhagen she knew all the Christmas traditions of Denmark. We enjoyed our time with her and couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around!
Great tour - fun way to learn Christmas traditions and some history. The game at the end was very fun! Would definitely recommend!
"Kenneth was a lovely guide who not only led the tour, he also became a part of the group, chatting w/ us personally, leading us to feel the Danish hygge. A seasonal tour that should not be missed! Loved it!!"
We had an absolute blast with Oskar on our Hygge Christmas tour. Oskar is so knowledgeable and my teenage sons were entertained and enjoyed it very much! Hearing history and Danish traditions was very special. We highly recommend this tour.
This was an amazing time to spend touring Copenhagen's Christmas markets - our tour guide was engaging and really made this a special experience for us. I'd highly recommend this tour, or any others offered by this tour company!
