Overview

Copenhagen’s original independent food tour (Est. 2011).

As a locally-owned company - not a corporate chain - we provide a truly authentic experience. We don’t just share the food; we share the soul of the city through its most iconic landmarks.

Beyond 8 authentic tastings (a full meal), we walk through the historic heart of Copenhagen. Discover the Botanical Garden, the Latin Quarter, and the Round Tower. Our expert local guides share insights into Danish life that global tours simply can't match.

Highlights include:

Exclusive access: Arla Unika (Michelin supplier) & historic Café & Ølhalle 1892.

Gourmet flavors: Modern smørrebrød at RØRT and royal candy at Sømods Bolcher.

Local icons: DØP organic hot dogs and local craft beer or cider at SKAAL.

Small groups for an intimate, high-quality experience. Join the locals who started it all.
