“What a lovely walk through Copenhagen city center with stops along the way at the botanical garden, the church at the Roundtower, and of course...the food! I had already been in Copenhagen for a week for work and this was the last thing I did in the city before going home. A perfect end to the trip. The food was delicious and perfectly curated. A good mix of sweet and savory options. The standouts for me were the hot dog, various sweets, and the cheese. If you are on the fence just book it! The guide Toby was cheerful and talkative, and overall the vibe of the experience was fun.…”

Our guide was also very flexible and understanding when we were delayed in arriving. By the way, the food testing is just a small part at the end where he leaves you, not the main focus of this tour.”

“Admittedly I did this in one go and without reading how far I had to walk, so my advice would: wear trainers and make some stops! That being said, I thought this tour was really good. It was informative and not just about food, but the history of the parts of the city you were walking through. This definitely took me to parts of the city I would not have visited otherwise.”
