“I chose this tour specifically because it seemed the most unique to the other Copenhagen food tours (specifically.. you didn't stop for a hotdog lol). It was definitely interesting! We stopped at a variety of places, including a middle eastern restaurant that I gladly revisited later on my trip. Our guide was also an archeologist, which was really cool because she provided fascinating historical information on the tour as we discussed food. I would recommend!”
