Exploring a city’s food scene without a guide can mean you don't get the full story behind the dishes you try. This half-day tour gives you the scoop on both Copenhagen’s hottest and most traditional eating spots, markets, and dishes, providing a well-rounded, yet up-to-the-minute take on its cuisine. Plus, the tastings equate to a light meal, so you don’t need to eat before or after.

Meet your guide in central Copenhagen and set off to explore its food repertoire. The city has emerged as a foodie hotspot, with many chefs eschewing historical Danish dishes for lighter, fresher dishes. Your tour reflects this, covering both the city’s contemporary and traditional foods. Locations vary from tour to tour, so the places mentioned don’t provide a definitive list of the outlets you’ll visit. Explore Torvehallerne market and try some artisanal cheeses at Arla Unika, one of Copenhagen’s trendiest cheese vendors, before sampling treats such as preserves and caramels at the Bornholmer shop. After enjoying some Danish apple wine, visit the Aamanns café for smørrebrød (open rye sourdough sandwiches topped with largely organic and free-range ingredients). Enjoy three craft beers at Nørrebro Bryghus, savor a hot-dog bite at the Ecological Hot Dog Stand, and lastly, visit Summerbird Chocolate to dig into its flødeboller (chocolate-covered marshmallows).   Your tour then finishes at the starting point.

    Food tour Copenhage
    It was an intimate group and I purchased it as a gift for my husband. The final meal was great, and the restaurant superb. I loved the visit to the microbrewery. Our host was very engaging. I would have liked a bit more time in the food market as we had problems with finding the group so missed the visit to the cheese stall. Recommend.

    Maria was a fantastic tour guide through Copenhagen! It was ~4 hours and ~3 miles of walking. The food was wonderful and there was more than enough (come hungry!) and I especially enjoyed Maria's talks about the city and history in between food stops. Highly recommend!

    An incidental "Private" Food Tour that made Copenhagen Memorable!
    Together with 3 other friends, we planned a 2-days stay in Copenhagen with the food tour arranged on 28 Feb morning. We were warmly hosted by Katrine and had the very privilege of a "private tour" because we were the only 4 on this tour. Really love how the itinerary was designed, with foods sampling, nicely spaced walks coupled with explorations of the city through its food & history. Exceedingly good was Katrine's extensive knowledge on Danish cuisine & culture that went beyond food. Katrine certainly left me with the best guide/host experience after having traveled so many countries from east to west, personable & relatable in many ways! We truly saw Copenhagen culture through her eyes. Thank you Kat!

    Lovely well organized tour!
    Great and very informative tour with focus on local food. Everything was pretty good organized and our tour guide Julia felt in love with food, so she is definitely the right person for that job!

    You won't miss out on anything with the evening food tour
    We originally wanted to book the day food tour, but so happy we chose this small group evening tour. We still got a quick glimpse through the Food Hall with enough samplings to almost fill us up. We booked the tour at the beginning of our trip, and definitely heading back to the stalls we visited to pick up snacks for the rest of our stay. Katrine was our guide, who was very easy to be with, professional, and accommodating. We really enjoyed getting to know a local's view on the history of the culture of food in Denmark. This was our first food tour and Katrine has definitely convinced us to participate in more.

    Enlightenment in the Meat Packing District!
    Being completely stuffed at the end of this experience notwithstanding, this was truly eye-opening! This area of Copenhagen surprised us all with its rich history and additionally with the breadth and quality of the culinary work being done and not merely in the usual Danish favorites. To be sure, traditional selections were tasty and substantial. Piled as high as one of their roast beef smorrebrod were the other experiences that Simon arranged for the group which included small batch brewed coffee, lovingly crafted ice cream (and adult beverages with carefully selected mini-ice cream bars), bespoke chocolates, some of the best pizza anywhere (who knew?) and wonderfully eclectic microbrews! Despite arriving fairly hungry, we were a bit overfull at the end, but how could we refuse any of those treats? Luckily we had a 17-year-old to make sure no slice of that delicious pizza was left behind! We were very fortunate to have a super fun and adventurous group of co-conspirators, but many thanks to Simon for showcasing what is on offer in the Meat Packing District!

    SO GLAD I did this tour. Went with a GREAT local lady on July 14 2020. Positive and knowledgeable about her city and it's food - great and memorable tour. I can now lecture you on the wonderfulness of Copenhagen's food scene. Meat-packing district a serious highlight. YUM + INTERESTING = happy me.

    Really good tour with exiting insights into the 'backyard' of the old slaughter houses with good restaurants. Especially the open sandwiches and the cod ceviche was delicious.

    Fantastic Tour- Fantastic Guide!
    Maria is a fountain of information. A native Dane, she answers all sorts of questions, not just about food, but other topics as well. We went to several different places, she pointed out other places to check out on our own. DH and I were full after the 3rd place ... the portions are not small. Loved the duck sandwich at the brewery (and I typically dislike duck). Well worth going on this trip!

    Not worth the cost
    We have done several food tours in European cities. This tour was a disappointment. It was also the most expensive. Although our guide was very knowlegeble, She rushed us through the tour. This may have been because we were the only two people on the tour and it was the end of the season. this tour was not as good as tours we have done in Paris, Prague and other cites.

    Fantasy Food Tour
    This trip was amazing. We started off in the food hall for a variety of starters with stories behind them all. We then moved onto a restaurant for the main course and then a bit of a walk to the dessert in a brewery with accompanying beer. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we definitely recommend it. We saw more of the city than we would have done otherwise which was great. Thank you Kristina for a lovely entertaining evening.

Alltogether a great experience! Our Guide (Catherine) was a very friendly, experienced and competent woman from Copenhagen. The tour took about 4 hours and was a nice mix of trying local foods, learning about the development of the local cuisine and walking through nice parts of the city.
We have been a party of 3 couples and my girlfriend and I loved the experience and highly recommend it for anybody who would like to experience Copenhagen in a non-standard way!

I had the good fortune of taking the food tour of Copenhagen. Let me just say it was one of the best food tours that I’ve had the good fortune of taking. Marie was our guide and she was excellent. She had a diversified knowledge of the foods of Copenhagen and on this well designed tour we got a great sampling of the city. Marie was all a lot of fun, very entertaining, energetics and interacted well with all members of the tour. I enjoyed the fine selection from food to drink to desserts and the Street foods that we got to sample. I recommend this tour anyone who wants to get a sampling of the cuisine of Copenhagen. Excellent Tour Guide and excellent tour.

The Copenhagen Culinary Experience Food Tour was excellent. My wife and I have taken food ours in numerous cities both in Europe and the United States and this is one of the best. Gette, our guide, was passionate about food, the Country of Denmark, and Copenhagen. The selection of food gave us a good understanding of food and food preparation, in Denmark, in general and Copenhagen with emphasis on Danish specialties like Smorrebrod and Poise. The quality of the Food and the friendliness of the servers was exceptional. The many different stops with specialties from each restaurant along with Gette’s stories of life in Denmark made for a fast paced and very enjoyable four hours. Having enough food for a full meal when we were done was an added benefit.

This trip (taken on August 30th) was not worth the hours spent. Having done a few of these types of food tours across Europe, this one fell short. The guide did not say anything about the history of the city or illuminate why we sampled certain foods along the way. The honey was sold out so she carried something we had to believe came close to the botanical version we were meant to try. The food choices were haphazard and Danish pastries were excluded. It seemed the choices were based on a availability and not intentionally curated. With an interesting guide the tour could have been salvaged but clearly ours was not meant to be doing for a living. She could not have an engaging conversation about the city or it’s food. Our experience was poor.

Dear Guest. Thank you for taking the time to review the tour. We're deeply sorry you had such a bad experience. You are not the only guest who has complained about the tour on this date and its guide. We have since reprimanded the guide and made it clear that her performance was not up to our usual standards. Regarding the food, Danish pastries are actually not intentionally included since the tour takes place around lunchtime, where we don't normally eat pastries here in Denmark. As for the honey, we do once again apologize for the sudden change in product- our supplier has faced a series of sudden problems that have made it impossible for them to deliver to us or anyone else. That's why our guides are currently testing new alternatives, and why your guide mentioned that as well. I hope that you were able to enjoy your stay in Copenhagen despite the bad experience you had with us. Best regards, Simon Manager, FoodTours.eu

I have been on many food tours and this one was very expensive and lack lustre. Usually with these things you have a guide who passionate about the food and the city and really gives you insight on multiple levels into the place and history. This was not the case. Our guide didn’t really say much about the history of the city or anything really. She lead us around introduced us to what we were eating and then said something along the lines of “I’ll let the chefs explain it to you”. Which is fine but she had nothing else to add… ever. The actual food we had was alright, not really much variety. We had 6 kinds of smorrebrod, some cheese, a taste of honey, 2 pieces of candy, 3 taster beers, a hot dog and a flodeboller, a taste of red wine, different kinds of local sodas to share and a taste of sparkling wine. It just seemed really uninspired and not worth the price at all for the food and service we got. At some point someone asked our guide how do you guys select where we go and she said they just give me a list of places to take you and then I take you there. So detached and uninterested.

Dear Guest. Thank you for taking the time to review the tour you went on. We're naturally very sorry to hear that you had such a disappointing experience. We'll use your feedback to help improve our guides' knowledge of things relating to the tour. Regarding how the locations are selected; Your guide was correct in stating that all guides receive a predetermined route with set locations. These are in fact businesses that we have been working with for a little over 10 years in some cases. So their continued presence on the tour is due to continuous positive feedback about them from other guests. Even so, your feedback will naturally still be taken into our considerations as we review things here at the end of the main tourist season. Best regards, Simon Manager, FoodTours.eu

Gitte was an amazing guide! She did a wonderful job of blending both history and food to make the tour extremely memorable. She was also great at accommodating everyone and making sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying every stop. She was also extremely helpful in providing recommendations for places to go to after the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Copenhagen as both an excellent food tour but also a great introduction to Denmark's culture.

As a first time visitor to Copenhagen, the high light of my stay was the culinary walking tour with our guide , Guxi. She led us through a series of culinary stops to acquaint us Danish foods. Her knowledge of Danish and Copenhagen history was phenomenal, and her engaging personality made this experience very special. While I enjoyed the open face sandwiches for lunch and the beer tasting, the Danish hotdog was absolutely over the top! Guxi encouraged me to dress the hotdog with all the fixings, and it was truly a culinary delight. This tour should be on everyone’s itinerary when you visit Copenhagen. (Also, ask for Guxi. She’s the best!). Don C.

This tour was fab, it’s the first food tour I have been on and it has set the bar high. Caterina was both personable and knowledgeable, giving us some history of the city as well. I had wondered if it would be value for money but it was, lots of mini bites and drinks to try as well as lunch, then a hot dog and finishing off with chocolate. It was lovely to see the city whilst we walked around the different areas. We did the tour on day 2 of a city break and it was perfect. The market and the Botanic Gardens were highlights. It was great to mix with the different nationalities in the group and with it being only ten, you get to chat to everyone which made it fun. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our tour with Julia and Simon. It was Julia's first tour but we wouldn't have known this of she hadn't told us - she was really passionate about food and enjoyed guiding us through the city to the different food & drink stops. It was nice to be in a small group of 6 as it meant we could hear everything and ask questions, and it felt very relaxed. If there was one thing we would have liked more of, it would be more historical/ cultural information about Copenhagen/ Denmark as we went round.

This was a fantastic tour.
Simon our guide,who was exceptional, met us promptly at 1030 am at the arranged location
Only after did he tell us he wasnt feeling well that morning but he hid it well.
We started off our excursion in the beautiful foodhall. Simon then took us off to lots of lovely places to sample a variety of local wines, beers.... Even sampling some unique honey in the Botanical Gardens. Everything was truly delicious
Simon was full of interesting information all the way with an amazing knowledge of the city
We were lucky also to be with a lovely group of ladies from the US and Netherlands
