Having trialled a brilliant (despite freezing weather) walking tour in January this year, with the amazing Brittmay, I felt confident to book a bigger tour again with Go Like a Local for our company team offsite which we were holding in Copenhagen. I knew that Maybritt would not only be able to curate something special, but also help bring Copenhagen’s rich culture, philosophy and concept of Hygge to life just as she did in January. Everyone who attended agreed that the passion and storytelling, woven in with the concept of Hygge by Maybritt and her brilliant colleagues was not just inspiring but genuinely magical. Every question answered and lots of thought provoking questions to us too. Making it truly interactive. GO like a local also helped create a bespoke route for us in a timeframe that worked for the team. From an efficiency and communications point of view, Michael who runs the organisational part was also brilliant throughout, making the discussion and booking phase - right through to the delivery of the tour itself - super easy and efficient to navigate. I cannot recommend enough. If I was to ever go back with a friend who hadn’t visited, and they wanted to do a walking tour I would instantly recommend Maybritt at go like a local every time. Thank you - you brought the hidden nooks and crannies and stories alive. The team and I are so grateful for what was a magical hour and a half and will always remain in our hearts!

A wonderful trip to. Malmo with Martin!

If you are looking for the perfect way to experience Sweden from Denmark, look no further than a tour with Martin. From the moment we met him at Copenhagen Central Station, we knew we were in for a fantastic day. Navigating the train ride across the iconic Øresund Bridge was seamless and stress-free with Martin leading the way. What could have been just a standard transit link became one of the highlights of the trip, thanks to his incredible personality. He is exceptionally warm, welcoming, and genuinely funny, keeping our entire group laughing and engaged with his great sense of humor and sharp local insights. Once we arrived in Malmö, Martin brought the city to life. He guided us expertly through the charming, colorful streets of Gamla Väster, shared fascinating history, and capped it all off by introducing us to the wonderful Swedish tradition of fika. Martin didn't just show us the sights; he made us feel like we were exploring a new country with an old friend. His energy is infectious, and his passion for storytelling is unmatched. I cannot recommend him highly enough—if you get the chance to book a tour with Martin, do it!

I had a wonderful experience in Copenhagen, Denmark. I highly recommend the walking and canal tour. I had gotten to the meeting point late and I returned to my hotel, only for me to see messages from my tour guide (Maybii) . She told me to meet them at the National Library which was the next stop. I'm so glad I went there. Maybii was such a lovely guide . Our group was small and diverse. She gave us proper history without making it boring. She made sure she had repeated what I had missed previously. I wanted to see the mermaid statue . I’ve attached a photo of this 😊 so glad that was part of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and make sure you’re not late. 😊

Fabulous tour and guide

I booked this tour because I wanted to see a less touristy part of Copenhagen, and I’m so glad I did! I was the only person on the tour on a rainy, blustery morning (kudos to the tour company for not canceling.) The Norrebro neighborhood was very cool to see and explore. The best part of the tour was the guide, Maybritt. She was engaging and knowledgeable about the neighborhood, Copenhagen, and Denmark, but also went over and above the call of duty to really engage on a personal level. So much of the joy of travel is meeting and connecting with people from the country you are visiting, and I came away from this tour not just knowing more about Copenhagen and Denmark, but feeling like I’d made a Danish friend. Highly recommend.

The Walk and Canal Tour with Changing of the Guard was very well organised and extremely interesting, particularly the historical aspects of what we were seeing. Travelling on the local transport on the river was something I would not normally have done on my own and was appreciated. The suggestions of where to stand for the best photo opportunities and views of the buildings and the changing of the guard were absolutely perfect and guaranteed us the ideal locations. The pace was good and not hurried, with plenty of chances to stop and actually take the time to look and take photos. Even after the tour was finished the guide suggested a boat ride which departed close by the finishing point and was the perfect end to a very unique and fascinating experience.

Alex was an excellent guide. He is clearly fluent in multiple languages and his ability to switch back-and-forth was impressive. We got a very good overview of the history of the sibling relationships among the Nordic countries, and in particular Sweden and Denmark. We especially enjoyed the ability to go off on our own at the end of the tour and take the train back on our own timing. We randomly did the tour on the day of a Malmo -Goteborg soccer derby and the main square was very alive with lots of good energy and a police presence to keep anything from getting out of hand. The Hika coffee break towards the end was well done.
