Excellent
We did the Food Tour with Caroline, what a fantastic guide she was! We got a sample of danish cuisine and it was very informative and tasty! The samples were filling and all included in the price. A small group made it easy to talk amongst fellow travellers, a worthwhile experience and at the end Caroline suggested a favourite restaurant of hers as we were looking for somewhere for dinner later on. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody who likes food and is visiting Copenhagen!
SANDEMANs is the best walking tour when visiting a new city
I signed up for the free city tour with Allan and ended up taking the Copenhagen Food Tour with him as well! He did such a great job telling stories and answering questions and was super approachable and fun! What I really love about the SANDEMANs tours is that if you’re a solo traveler or a group traveler, the guides aren’t afraid to talk to you and make you feel welcome to the new city.
Interesting tour, great tour guide
Really interesting tour round the city, it attracted a diverse group of people who were great to chat to as we walked round and sampled generous portions of tasty food. Our guide Laura was very engaging and helpful. A fab way to spend the afternoon.
You can see the beautiful sites of Copenhagen, and hear the local sounds, but no trip here would be complete without tasting some of the local culture too!
Our tasting experiences take you to bars, restaurants, pubs and beer gardens to taste the local food and drinks, and experience the local culture, atmosphere and flavors of the city!
We believe in supporting local communities, which is why we take you to local establishments on all of our tasting tours. All our tasting experiences have a fixed ticket price and include food and drink specials. Some of our tasting experiences have a maximum capacity so we recommend booking in advance, either during a Free Tour or online.
Have a great night out in some of Copenhagen's best bars and clubs!S
