Traveler Reviews

Kristian surprised us with his intriguing stories! He guided us through Vesterbro and took us to several brown bars and craft beer bars. The combination of tasting/drinking beers and interacting with other people was such fun. We as group of 7 definitely recommend booking this tour. Thanks for the great time!

Would 100% recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a genuine taste of Copenhagen and meet some great people. Very grateful for the experience, great beer, and good conversation. Thank you Christian!

I highly recommend the tour, very fun. We got a beer included at three different bars. We were given history of the area and of the Danish breweries. What’s not to like? Book it already.

A great time with a great local storyteller Kristian! Gives a slightly different view on a Copenhagen and nuances of Danish culture.

We really enjoined the beer tour. Kristian was an excellent guide showing us around the neighborhood that we wouldn't normally visit as tourists. He told funny and quirky stories about the Danish culture and he was very knowledgeable about anything we would ask him. Also, the group of 8 guest was the perfect size and we really had a good time together . We would highly recommend this tour!
