Discover Hidden Gems and Top Sights on a Private Copenhagen Walking Tour

Perfect for couples, families, or small groups who want a truly personal experience, our private tours offer a relaxed and flexible way to explore the heart of Copenhagen at your own pace.

With your own local guide by your side, you’ll discover hidden gems, local stories, and favorite spots that most visitors never see. It’s less like joining a tour and more like spending time with a local friend who knows the city inside out. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, connected, and inspired — every step of the way.

Discover Copenhagen’s most iconic highlights — from the King’s Garden and the Round Tower to Rosenborg Castle — at your own pace and in your own company. With your private local guide, you’ll step beyond the main sights and wander through narrow medieval streets, crooked alleys, and hidden courtyards where tourists rarely go.

Along the way, you’ll see Nyboder’s colorful houses, Copenhagen’s oldest church, lively Strøget, and the postcard-perfect harbor of Nyhavn. But instead of simply ticking off landmarks, we focus on the atmosphere, stories, and everyday places that bring the city to life.

Every private tour is tailored to your interests — whether you’re into history, culture, design, or simply want a relaxed walk full of conversation and insight. Come as you are, set the pace, and leave feeling like you’ve spent the day with a local friend.

Super nærværende og personlig byvandring

Det var en fornøjelse at være på tur med Signe, fra vi mødte hende ved Marmorkirken til vi sagde farvel hende i Nyhavn. Sammen med det, at gruppen altid er på max 12, bliver det ikke bare en fortælling, men en samtale, hvor Signe kunne addere ekstra viden og svare på spørgsmål.
Turen er godt planlagt og kommer andre veje rundt end den direkte vej, hvilket giver et ekstra godt indblik i Københavns indre udenfor de traditionelle turistruter.

Having trialled a brilliant (despite freezing weather) walking tour in January this year, with the amazing Brittmay, I felt confident to book a bigger tour again with Go Like a Local for our company team offsite which we were holding in Copenhagen. I knew that Maybritt would not only be able to curate something special, but also help bring Copenhagen’s rich culture, philosophy and concept of Hygge to life just as she did in January. Everyone who attended agreed that the passion and storytelling, woven in with the concept of Hygge by Maybritt and her brilliant colleagues was not just inspiring but genuinely magical. Every question answered and lots of thought provoking questions to us too. Making it truly interactive. GO like a local also helped create a bespoke route for us in a timeframe that worked for the team. From an efficiency and communications point of view, Michael who runs the organisational part was also brilliant throughout, making the discussion and booking phase - right through to the delivery of the tour itself - super easy and efficient to navigate. I cannot recommend enough. If I was to ever go back with a friend who hadn’t visited, and they wanted to do a walking tour I would instantly recommend Maybritt at go like a local every time. Thank you - you brought the hidden nooks and crannies and stories alive. The team and I are so grateful for what was a magical hour and a half and will always remain in our hearts!

I had a wonderful experience in Copenhagen, Denmark. I highly recommend the walking and canal tour. I had gotten to the meeting point late and I returned to my hotel, only for me to see messages from my tour guide (Maybii) . She told me to meet them at the National Library which was the next stop. I'm so glad I went there. Maybii was such a lovely guide . Our group was small and diverse. She gave us proper history without making it boring. She made sure she had repeated what I had missed previously. I wanted to see the mermaid statue . I’ve attached a photo of this 😊 so glad that was part of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and make sure you’re not late. 😊

Our tour guide and the overall tour itself was remarkably warm, funny, and an very enriching experience. Seeing varying points of interest, while gaining the historical background of Denmark was one of a kind! Learning traditions of the past, seeing how history and modernism now intersect was a treat. I highly recommend this tour, as it was a life changing experience!

Martin, our 'Go Like a Local' guide, treated us to a wonderful walking tour of Copenhagen. He shared lots history and demonstrated great pride for his city. Martin was attentive to the needs of each participant and took great care to assure that we all enjoyed the tour. Keeping the group to a small number (10 of us) worked really well. This was definitely a 5-star experience. Martin is terrific!

I enjoyed such a perfect and wonderful afternoon tour of Copenhagen city with our tour guide Majbritt who was full of information about Copenhagen’s history and culture. It was lovely to meet two other people in our group like me who were first time tourists in Copenhagen. Majbritt made the afternoon both informative and entertaining and I highly recommend her.
