Originally from Jutland, I moved to Copenhagen in 1999 to serve in the Royal Guard - and somewhere between marching, history, and trying to look serious in uniform, I fell in love with the city.

I have lived most of my adult life in Copenhagen, with detours for studying and working in Argentina, Italy, and England. Since 2008, I have guided more than 1,000 tours, and I still call it the best part-time job in the world — alongside my work as an Associate Professor.

My tours combine history, storytelling, local life, and a good dose of humour. Copenhagen has plenty of kings, queens, secrets, scandals, and beautiful contradictions — so there is always something to talk about.

And yes, I wrote this myself. But in my defence, no one knows my jokes better than I do.

Easy, flexible and personal. If you want 6 hours of Danish history, buy a book or down an app. With me you get a personal tour based on your preferences, interest and my knowledge and experience.

Essentially you book my time, maybe with transportation, and then we sort a final programme and itinerary out on the day.

I've been guiding for almost 15 years now, and I prefer small groups of likeminded intelligent, knowledgeable and cultivated humans with an open mind and heart to the world we live in.
