“Best sightseeing tour ever!”

Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

This was the best sightseeing tour ever! Such a great idea to combine sightseeing with running. Lena told me all these funny details about places in Copenhagen. I recommend to watch the TV shows filmed in Copenhagen (Borgen, The Bridge, The Killing) before you go there, because then it's even better to finally see all those places and you will... More

“Excellent experience!”

I had a really great time. Lena explained some interesting facts about the city and took us to some very nice places. I feel I saw the complete city in less than 2 hours, which left me with plenty of time to enjoy the rest of my stay in a relaxed way. My impression after the running tour? That Copenhagen... More

Hi Dorien, It looks like the mission of protraying Copenhagen in a nice light was successful. It was my pleasure to show you Copenhagen and equally a pleasure to discuss the more nerdy running topics of pose running and minimalist footwear and of course "born to run" :-)! Hope your remaining days in Copenhagen went well and hopefully see you... More

“Best way to see Copenhagen”

Reviewed 12 May 2012

We loved the morning sightseeing run - the group was small (7) and both Danish and English speaking - it was intimate and very entertaining - we saw the main highlights within 2 hours and Lena is very personable and was able to fill in both historical facts and even more interestingly the local knowledge! Would highly recommend it! More
