"An absolute highlight of our trip to Copenhagen!
We booked the Copenhagen Culinary Experience Food Tour and were lucky enough to have Peter as our guide. From the very first stop, his passion for Danish cuisine, local history, and hidden foodie gems was contagious. He didn’t just point out dishes, we learned the stories behind them, the traditions that shaped them, and even how locals truly enjoy them.
The tour was perfectly paced, with a delicious mix of classic Danish flavors and modern twists, and each stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Peter had a knack for making the whole group feel engaged and welcome, whether you were a seasoned traveler or visiting Denmark for the first time. We left feeling like we had experienced the heart of Copenhagen through its food.
If you’re new to visiting the city, don’t miss this tour! It’s more than just eating great food, it’s a taste of the culture, guided by someone who truly loves sharing it. Thank you Peter!"

"Simon was a great guide. Highly recommend starting your trip with this tour as he has many great suggestions for continuing the exploration of the food Copenhagen has to offer. 4 hours very well spent. A perfect representation of the Copenhagen food scene."
Julie Turnbull Packer
"Simon! Absolutely one of the best tour guides. Food tours are fantastic, but they rely on artistry of the guide. Simon was a great storyteller and caring guide.
As for this tour - take it! There is no better way to become more intimate with a city (its culture, history, immigrants, citizens, etc) than a food tour.
Food is the gathering, welcoming, the warmth, and people become through food. The story of Copenhagen’s becoming is best told on this tour.
We discussed so much, including paganism, royalty, and science.
Do yourself a favor and take this tour. You’ll thank me, and Copenhagen!"
