“This was the best food tour I have ever been on. My gluten allergy was accounted for (best gluten free cinnamon roll and beer I've ever had), we even went to the bakery that had the cinnamon roll the day after and back to the beer place. Our guide Peter was so much fun to he around, attentive and knowledgeable. All the food was absolutely delicious and this tour is not to be missed.”

Private 3-hour Copenhagen food walk with 9 Nordic tastings, craft beer and schnapps, guided by a local. Big portions, clear stories.
“The guide was very pleasant however we didn’t experience as many food items as we thought. I’ve done these food tours before and usually have 8-10 tastings. This one was more like “meals” and we had to take 1/2 the food home and ended up throwing it away unfortunately. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable though.”
Malmö’s Disgust Food Museum turns food fears into a guided tasting with smell jars, a photo booth, and bites like surströmming.
“Great fun. I really enjoyed the exhibits and the concept underpinning the existence of it. The food tasting part was fun too, and the staff were good at explaining each bite. I love that the ticket was a sick bag and there was a waiver to sign before taking on the chillies. I did it and survived!!”
A small-group Vesterbro beer walk in Copenhagen with 3 tastings, neighborhood stories, and end-in-the-Meatpacking District bar time.
“Kenneth, the guide was quite excellent. He imparted a lot of history and information about the area, Vesterbro. We visited 3 different pubs and had one beer in each, plus we went to a grocery store to purchase a beer to go. We explored more of the area drinking our beer which felt strange because this is illegal where I’m from. Kenneth knew a lot about beer and was able to help me choose beers I would like. The only thing I didn’t like was the first bar allowed indoor smoking and I didn’t like being in a smokey bar.”
A private Copenhagen food walk with 6 or 10 tastings, landmark stops, and a local guide. Small bites, big context, personal pace.

“Our guide was Roger and he immediately gathered the large group together to make us feel like we were on an adventure… brilliant ! It’s definitely not a pub crawl but a great way to see a different part of Copenhagen and to get to know other people . Our group , of a range of nationalities and ages , all ended up in a bar together at the end and continued the night !! Thanks Roger , you were fab !”
Taste classic Danish favorites on a private 3-hour tour: ristepølse, fish cakes, smørrebrød, roast pork, beer, schnapps, pastries.
“Our guide, Karolina, was fabulous. As well as leading us to many great food tastings she provided us with details of the Copenhagen city that we would not have otherwise known. We enjoyed discovering historical facts as well as getting to know a lot about current life in Denmark. All of the tastings were excellent and we struggled to eat everything that was offered. This is an ideal tour to do at the beginning of your visit to Copenhagen as it provides so many tips to do later.”
A 3-hour Copenhagen beer walk through Vesterbro, with 3 guided bar stops and local stories from red-light past to craft beer present.
“The guide was friendly and polite. Although I'm not so sure about reliability of some information, because not all that he said was right. But that were only few facts, other than that I was happy with the information provided. The pubs and beers were good. Unfortunately the beer I wanted to try was sold out, but that couldn't be helped. :-)”
