Overview

Book this tour to guarantee your spot on the public, TIPS-BASED Politically Incorrect Copenhagen Highlights walking tour.

Are you a HISTORY BUFF? This tour is probably NOT for you.

Our Politically Incorrect guides blend humour with history, creating a tour for those who are tired of traditional sightseeing and excited by the idea of being pleasantly offended. Our guide will try to make you laugh (even when you -probably- shouldn't) as we uncover the stories hidden in Copenhagen’s historic streets.

In this 2 hour tour, you will walk the same cobblestoned streets as H.C. Andersen, hear stories about historic Denmark and quirky anecdotes about Copenhagen today. There’ll be a little bit of lore and a little bit of gore, and tales of princes and perversions, gratification and tax equations.

Learn everything you need to know – and just as importantly, what to avoid! A thousand years of history in 2 hours. Save your phone battery, our guides have built-in GPS.

What's Included

  • Guide
  • Entrance fees (the tour is outdoors-only).
  • Gratuities: Our guides work on tips-based service, we encourage you to value their time & knowledge.
