Think of this as the shortlist for a friend: the 14 self-guided tours we would actually book, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Hop on Stromma’s Copenhagen hop-on hop-off bus for 48-hour city coverage, 6-language audio, free Wi‑Fi, and three flexible routes.
“Great way to see the city, luckily we had great weather to explore”
A self-paced Malmö walk with a smartphone audio guide, linking key sights from St. Petri to Turning Torso in 2–3 hours.
“Just the right length of walk and information at each point. Of our phones do not have earphones sockets. Also this is not a circular route and some time was spent getting back to the start.”
A 90-minute self-guided puzzle walk through Old Town Helsingborg using the Questo app, with offline play and key sights.
“Took over 30 minutes to get the game to work The game wasn’t about the historical places we were in but about some tricky science fixation Armageddon’s future If you could give 0 stars I would have done it. Turned off the game after one minute and never finished the gameAuto-translated”
Monstour Danish folk legends self-guided audio tour in Copenhagen with VoiceMap GPS, offline access, and lifetime playback in English.
“It takes you around the city of Copenhagen and ,even though we already spend two days prior in the city centre, with this tour you see the sculptures and buildings through a whole different view. We loved that we good take our own pace since it's not a physical guide and group dynamic but a audiotape and a map. So we could take our time to discuss what the audio guide told us without feeling the pressure of a group waiting. It worked surprisingly well (we never did an audio tour before so we were a bit sceptic).”
Taste Malmö on a 3-hour self-guided food walk with 4 tastings, local stories, and an easy map—plus a bike or walk option.
Copenhagen murder mystery self-guided tour: pick up at Maria’s Kiosk, explore Round Tower clues, and finish near Church of Our Lady.
“Since more than a year, collection place is nitnrelated to thisnservice. Hope they refund soon please”
A self-guided smartphone escape game through Christiania’s landmarks, with puzzles, flexible timing, and no guide needed.
“This is a brilliant way to explore Christiana town, it's basically a mini walking tour with a little story behind it with some puzzles along the way. There's certain areas you can't take photos and you must be respectful to the people that live there. This activity advitises 1hr to 90ish minutes.... we took 3 hours as we kept getting distracted, shopping round the little flea markets and taking everything in! So allow plenty of time to make the most of it, this was the highlight of our weekend in Copenhagen. Highly recommend”
A 90-minute clue-walk in Copenhagen linking royal sights, churches, design, and waterfront views through a fun mystery route.
“It was a fun way to walk around the city and see the famous statues. It did take a couple of goes to work out that the timer started as soon as you read the clue so we made sure we walked all the way to the location before reading. Great to have the extra facts about the buildings as you go along to put them into context.”
A self-guided Royal Copenhagen walk with offline English audio, built-in GPS, and stop-anytime flexibility from Kongens Nytorv to Amalienborg.
“We enjoyed our audio tour. We found it to be educational and liked that we could do it at our own pace. The app worked perfectly! Will look for more self-guided audio tours in the future.”
Self-guided Hans Christian Andersen tour in Copenhagen with GPS audio and offline maps, linking Royal Danish Theatre, Nyhavn, and more.
“Could well be your first adventure in the city, as it takes you through a lot of sights worthy sites, Hans related or not, through the lens of a local with interesting anecdotes. Afterwards you can further explore the city ion your own, but with some foundational knowledge this time.”
Self-guided Copenhagen treasure hunt where kids build a spaceship by solving phone puzzles, ending at Nyhavn’s Broens Gadekøkken street food.
