I enjoyed this tour, although it was probably my least favourite of the three tours I joined in Copenhagen. We spent quite a lot of time walking through ordinary streets while listening to interesting stories about the area, and the tour lasted more than 90 minutes. The stories themselves were interesting, but I found it a little difficult to stay engaged throughout the whole tour. The main challenge for me was the guide’s accent. My English is quite good, but I found Martin’s accent difficult to understand at times, so unfortunately I probably missed around half of what was being said. I think I would have enjoyed the tour much more if I had been able to understand everything more easily. Still, it was an interesting way to explore Christianshavn and learn more about its history and the hippie culture.

Description
Book this tour to guarantee your spot on this public, TIPS-BASED tour. Are you a HISTORY BUFF? This tour is probably NOT for you. This tour is for people who are tired of traditional sightseeing and excited by the idea of being pleasantly offended. Stroll over the beautiful Inner Harbour Bridge and hear stories of all the things that would go in a typical Scandinavian film noir: suicide, shipping magnates and socialism. And if that doesn’t work up your appetite, then learning about the bougie and budget Copenhagen food scene certainly will! From award-winning dining to street food. So if you have an appetite for the curious and creative, and you want to learn all about the area of Christiania and its inhabitants (–including a troll!) then this tour will be right up your alley. Come get the low down on the high hippies and find out what makes this area like no other place in the world! The tour ends outside of Christiania, where you will be well-equipped to venture in on your own.

Must do tour!
Absolutely great guide. Jack was amazing and did a really good job telling us about the rich history and current situation in Christiania
O
Incredible insights to Christiania and their culture
History of Christianshavn, the squatters, military bases, drugs, gang violence, and much more. It was really interesting to hear from Jack; to walk us through the part of town that would’ve otherwise been just a vandalised area to the naked eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend anyone to sign up, as long as you are tolerant to spicy jokes :)

C
Do It, even if you just have a day in Copenhagen
So funny and informative. Steen was excellent and I learned a ton. One little thing is I would have preferred is less talking at each stop as it got a bit long, but more frequent stops. Length of tour in total was good. Overall definitely recommend.
