I had 1 day in Malmo and I wanted to see as much as I could in a short space of time. I really enjoyed the tour, and I have a much better idea of the place and the people here. I thought Cassie was great - good historical knowledge, and an insight into how the locals are. Overall I really enjoyed the tour and I would recommend!

We had a great day with our guide Christel. Such a lovely lady, who speaks perfect English. Because it was early season my husband and I were the only 2 on the tour. We saw loads of the sights and learned much along the way. We particularly enjoyed the cycling session which was a great way of reaching interesting sites outside the central city. Thank you Christel for making our trip to Copenhagen so memorable!

Malmo is a quick 30 mins from Copenhagen by train..what a perfect day trip. Best way to see the highlights is a 3 hour bike tour. Ashley was our FANTASTIC guide. We had three riders plus Ashley so got a wonderfully personalized tour. Perfectly paced for US. Tons of info, lots of short stops w/history lesson, points of interest facts, etc.

We were happy to have Nadia as a guide, who was absolutely nice and welcoming. A genuine professional that could quickly notice what triggered our interest along the tour and bring up more interesting details to meet our curiosity. It really just felt like walking around with a friend who is truly passionate about Danish culture herself and together enjoying the beautiful places we were seeing. This tour option turned out perfect for the corona time when everything is closed because, even though you cannot enter the castles or the library or anything, there is a person who can describe it to you in a comprehensive and captivating way. Definitely enjoyed this experience.
