Diana gave my group of four a three-hour walking tour around Copenhagen. The tour was simply outstanding, covering a wealth of history, culture, and significant landmarks. Diana's extensive knowledge and passion for the city truly shone through. I was initially worried that three hours would be too much walking, especially in chilly February, but I was pleasantly surprised that the pace was just right and there were opportunities to sit, enjoy coffee and treats, and take bathroom breaks.
One of the highlights was visiting the King's residence, Amalienborg Palace. Standing in the courtyard, we witnessed the changing of the Royal Guard, which was absolutely mesmerizing. Another unforgettable stop was at the Royal Stables, where the majestic horses are walked. It's a rare treat to see such grandeur up close.
Diana, an expat American who has lived in Denmark for several years, is absolutely brilliant. Her ability to remember detailed history and her mastery of the Danish language is truly impressive. My spouse appreciated that Diana was American, so we could communicate easily, and she provided unique insights into the nuances of Danish culture from an American perspective. Diana was also incredibly helpful in directing us to the famous hotdog stand frequented by President Bill Clinton during his visit and even texted me follow-up information about some of my questions and comments.
I was surprised that there were two other people on the tour since I thought it was a private, customizable tour. Fortunately, the other people were lovely. I booked the tour through GetYourGuide, which didn't have customization options, even though the tour was supposed to be customized.
