Copenhagen public tours 

On one of our three public tours in Copenhagen you get to explore this sustainable capital on bike or foot together with our expert green guides and other likeminded guests with interest in sustainability and a green society. A public tour is a weekly scheduled tour which everyone can join. However, in order for you to get the best experience and make sure it is safe for you, we only allow 15 guests per tour on the bike tours and 20 guests on the walking tour, so make sure to book your tour early in advance! You book and pay for the tour here on our website.

If you prefer a private tour  you can ask for any date and time.  

How about bike rental and how comfortable do I need to be on a bike?

Our two bike tours start at the Cykelbørsen bike shop where you can rent a bike for the day for 110 DKK and a helmet for 30 dkk (optional). You can also bring your “own” bike – many hotels provide bikes for their guests or you can rent a bike from the many bike services around the city such as the city bike (Bycyklen) or Donkey Republic.

You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist to join our bike tours. We have accommodated people who haven’t biked in 10 years and people who bike every day, so our tours are for all levels of cyclists! Copenhagen has several times been nominated as the best bike city in the world, so we have top class bike infrastructure which is a dream to bike on. This is an experience in itself to explore. Our green guides take good care of you all the time, and we go in a comfortable pace, so you can enjoy the city while biking. You will also be introduced to the common bike rules in the beginning of the tour. 

Guide in Copenhagen

On our tours you will be joined by our wonderful green guides who are passionate about and knowledgeable in the green field and sustainability. Besides being experts in the topics of the tour, they are also green “storytellers” and will speak to your senses and mind, as we know that you are not only here to learn but also to explore! They love to chat about small and big things, so we encourage you to engage in the conversation, for example by sharing your own perspectives on how we can all push for a green agenda or what you do yourself to lower your own carbon footprint. We will soon be able to offer a beginners online course in what you can do yourself and how to get started!

We have a diverse group of guides with different nationalities – for example Italian, German, American and Danish – but all share the fact that they are Copenhageners! They live in the city and explore it daily and will gladly share their best tips to get the best out of your trip. You can also follow us on social medias to get great insights from all our cities.

Safety is very important on our tours, and the guides will make sure to take great care of you. They will be your extra set of eyes in the traffic, and make sure to keep attention on you all the time.

Most importantly, our guides are lovely people who enjoy the tour as much as you do, and who most of all wish to ensure the best tour possible. So, come join us on a tour and meet these great people! You can also check out our guide team on our website.
