Additional Information
Explore the city from a local’s perspective. No rigid itinerary to follow; tailor the tour to your preferences or let the local guide give you a unique introduction to the city. Traveling is about the people you connect with, not just the sights you visit. Ditch the ordinary historical walks with our tours and see the city through the lens of a local. Take part in a tour that shifts the focus of traveling; it’s as much about the ones you meet as the places you check out. Our local envoys (Lokafyers) have a deep passion for their city and can’t wait to share their understanding and viewpoint. As Lokafyers aren’t full-time guides and only offer tours now and then, they provide you a genuine and personal experience, much like a friend taking you around their city. By the time the tour ends, you’ll be at ease navigating the city, confident that you have all the essential knowledge to make your stay unforgettable.

- In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)

Best two hour history tour - The four of us were treated to a fascinating two hours of Copenhagen history. Ariana was engaging and so knowledgeable, especially about the city architecture history. We loved how she fit in all requested sites in our two hour tour.

Walk in the city. - Our guide Ernestas was very considerate. My sister needed to stop due to her condition. He took us to the Natural Historical museum where my sister could rest safely while my daughter and I could continue with our walking tour. He is very knowledgeable, and gave us the Copenhagen insight. We were able to cover a lot of grounds in a short time. It was an enjoyable walk with him.

Knowledge is power - and very interesting too! - We had a great time with Michael and saw so many different sites across the 3 hours. He had in-depth knowledge which he imparted with passion and intrigue, and gave a nice blend of history, contemporary and quirky sites. It would’ve been nice to have a short break in the middle for a drink (and a pastry!)

An immersive local experience - I cannot express how incredible Ariana was- a fountain of knowledge and experience. She helped me plan a day by myself afterwards which was also incredible. If you're looking to see the good sights but also experience what it's like as a local, this is it.

Perfect Introduction to Copenhagen! - Our 2-hour private tour of Copenhagen was perfect before it even started! Our guide James was in touch with us several days prior to our arrival to get information to help him really customize our trip and coordinate restaurant recommendations (and even reservations). At the appointed meeting time and location, James introduced himself, outlined his plan for our walking tour, and showed us a binder of helpful maps and lists that he had prepared for our use during the rest of our stay. From there we set out on a whirlwind tour of central Copenhagen that included great historical context as well as helpful practical information (about using public transport, local customs, days that sites are closed). The 2 hours really flew by and gave us a great orientation to the city to help us plan the rest of our visit. We could not have been more lucky to have been matched with James, who really got our 15th anniversary (and first post-COVID) trip started on the right foot!

This tour was the highlight of our vacation - We had the pleasure of taking this tour with Dalit (our guide) and I have to say it was special. We were greeted by her early morning 10 and had full 4 hours of the journey with her . She is a good story teller and we visited all the highlights of the beautiful city. Even after our tour ended , she voluntarily helped us plan the remaining of our vacation.
I can strongly recommend this awesome experience with Dalit . Thank you for make our day special.

Basking in Copenhagen’s wonders. - Our wonderful guide Dalit contacted us by email a few days prior to our tour to customise the walking tour for us. We met at our hotel, no stress finding a meeting point, and there was an immediate personal connection. Dalit was a delight, guiding us through both the historic and social components of Copenhagen, and taking us to some places off the tourist track, that only a local would know existed. The hidden gems of Copenhagen in some cases were the quiet parks, tracks along the canals with their swans and signets, or the eclectic book and coffee shops, which were a delight. We used the information and suggestions Dalit provided us with to plan two full days of walking on our own. We have used Lokafy in four European cities during this holiday, and as a regular traveller I recommend them, they provide a professional and very personalised service to their clients. To Dalit in Copenhagen, thank you so much for your passion and the detailed knowledge of your wonderful city.

Tour with Dalit - We had a perfect afternoon exploring with Dalit. She gave us lots of tips for our trip and made us feel welcome! She was great with my three year old as it was just her and I on the trip. Definitely recommend!
