Fascinating Christianshavn Tour

Andrés and I really enjoyed hearing so many golden nuggets of information that we couldn´t have gleaned for ourselves with books or a smartphone. I felt the pace was great and we really maximised our time together. Thank you!

Brisk pace, lots of information about the city, and time for questions.

A mix of both Christianshavn facts and city tips

We were lucky enough to complete the full tour just before a half hour downpour, starting from Hojbro pladz and ending in the yard of the Church of our savior,near the entrance to Christiania. The tour was a mix of information about the city, buildings and landmarks along the way, ending with a bit of history and current status of the area of Christiania. The tour was engaging and very informative, with the right amount of humour in between. Even our three young children could keep up and enjoy it. Wayne was an excellent tour guide. We would definitely recommend him for this tour.
