Customers reviews on Christiania & Christianshavn tour
A very interesting tour in a part of Copenhagen I wasn't too familiar with, despite not being my first time there. Cam was plenty fun and shared some nice tidbits and quirky facts; the stroll pace was perfect to enjoy the area and take in all its uniqueness. Definitely worth it!

Had a great walking tour with Lysander, who grew up in the area and was very knowledgeable. He was very personable, fun, with extremely good English - would recommend this tour, it doesn’t feel touristy!

Our Tour Guide was very nice and he was able to bring across the way of living in the community of Christiania. Because he grew up there, his description was very authentic. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness about sustainable living in a city like Copenhagen. A lot of food for thought. Thanks a lot for that great tour!
