“Karoline was the best tour guide! She was a wonderful storyteller, making us feel connected to the history and culture of Denmark and Copenhagen. She was warm and welcoming, so knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions with ease. She took us through some great locations, took us to get some delicious treats, and we managed to time it so perfectly that we got to watch the guard and band marching for the changing of the guard. I learned so much and this tour will remain one of the most memorable parts of my entire trip. Thank you, Karoline!”
