Unique and local tour

This was a really unique tour in a non touristy part of town, you really get to see how the locals of this area live in their communal way plus you get to see some beautiful nature and cool architecture. Johannes is a great guide too!

Amazing tour

Thank you so much Jóhannes for this great tour! We got very interesting insights in this sustainable architecture project, in the history of this city district and had the chance to visit many parts also inside. We would fully recommend this tour. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting!

We usually like to take more niche tours and this is another example why. It was a very interesting tour. Johannes guided us to one of the newest neighborhoods of Copenhagen. He explained very well what this communities are doing to become more green and collaborative. The walk along the green spaces behind the neighborhood was pretty amazing too. Overall a very informative, inspiring, and beautiful tour.

It was very interesting and varied! The chosen path led through the nature reserve at sunset and so sustainability met excellently.
