The visit with Herman was very interesting; he told us about the city's history in a very entertaining way, and gave us recommendations too. Highly recommended!
Fanny was kind and shared interesting facts. I'd 100% go again!
Excellent guide, like few others. He's the best guide I've had in a long time.
Herman's explanations were magnificent. A highly recommended tour for the places we visited.
Herman is a great companion for this tour. He is warm, gives answers and is engaging. Thanks for everything.
A small group, which is appreciated. Herman showed us a whole world inside Copenhagen. Recommended.
I had no problems with the planning, the meeting or the guide's ability.
