We covered most of Copenhagen in the time spent with him and he was able to give us a great overview of the city. We only had a short amount of time in Denmark but we left feeling like our time on the tour was time well spent! They also gave us a list of place to eat, drink and explore. We highly recommend Politically Incorrect Tours, but specifically Roger!”

Walk from Vesterbro to Christianshavn with a private English-speaking guide, passing old workers’ housing, Istedgade, the Meatpacking District, historic churches, canals, and Christiania. The Full Option adds a Danish tasting and drink. Your guide cannot accompany you inside Christiania.

“We did enjoy our tour with Alessandro very much! We walked from 11am until 2pm (3 hours) around the quarter Vesterbro and to Christianshavn. We also visited the free republic "Christiana" and had a look inside the small village. We walked everything, we also had good weather, no metro card was needed. We learned many things about the neighborhoods and the residents, it was very comprehensive and we could ask many questions. Only flaw: It was a bit expensive in my opinion, as no food or drink was offered, but I had expected some kind of "food tour", too bad. Nevertheless, we were very satisfied.”

“This is a brilliant way to explore Christiana town, it's basically a mini walking tour with a little story behind it with some puzzles along the way. There's certain areas you can't take photos and you must be respectful to the people that live there. This activity advitises 1hr to 90ish minutes.... we took 3 hours as we kept getting distracted, shopping round the little flea markets and taking everything in! So allow plenty of time to make the most of it, this was the highlight of our weekend in Copenhagen. Highly recommend”
