- W9726ASgregoryb0 contributionsRewarding and Witty TourThe map function worked well. The commentary was informative, often witty. I very much enjoyed the walk. Highly recommended if you're interested in Kierkegaard.Written 10 December 2024
- L329ISkimj0 contributionsFairytale in CopenhagenAn excellent tour with some of the best walking directions I have experienced. The guide knows a lot about Hans Christian Andersen and this tour is full of information and passion. Not only did we get to visit some of the places that meant a lot to Hans Christian Andersen, but these are also some of the iconic places of Copenhagen Walking through the cobbled streets, I felt as if I had stepped into one of Andersen's fairytales. The tour brought Andersen's stories to life in a new way for me. Excellent directions, excellent story telling, fantastic places. Wholeheartedly recommendedWritten 7 November 2024

I love monsters and myths and this was the perfect way to start a city break. We often join ghost tours when we arrive in a city to get our bearings and learn some interesting local legends. This provided all of that but with the added ease of having it on our phones to walk at our leisure. Well worth it! Also added invaluable local knowledge, such as the need to wait to cross even when there’s no traffic or you may get fined.

I loved this tour! Very easy to follow and very informative. You will find out plenty of stories of monsters and ghouls as well as architecture and the history of Copenhagen. It takes you some places that would may not have visited before. Would definitely do more of these!

Nice tour to walk around the city and see some sights that are sometimes easily missed. Is it a replacement for an actual walking tour? Not really, as depending on your phone, it can be a janky experience.
But it's good value for your money and you learn some interesting facts!

Two questions should be asked about the "Monstour tour:" Is it good, and is it worth the money? These two questions, which are usually inseparable, get opposite answers in this case due to the relatively low price. In fact, the tour offers very little of what it promised (Danish Folk Legends), with too many pauses in between the statues (many of them are already unavailable or damaged). However, it can help you to get acknowledged with a bit of the history and city's geography. So, the tour can be helpful if it is your first day in Copenhagen.

I loved and can not say enough great things about this tour. It was full of off beat statues, locations and information. It was unlike any other self guided or group tour I took on my trip. If you like sites that are not usually visited this tour is for you.

This audio tour was great! A fun way to see and explore more of the city. It was both interesting and entertaining. Easy to follow and great technology. Would have loved to have had some actual folk stories told during some of the walking parts to fully fill out this tour. Enjoyed it very much!

The monstour was easy to follow and very interesting to do. Highly recommend this. It only takes an hour of your time and when you're finished you're pretty close to the Nyhavn.

Hello, is this tour somehow time limited (opening hours of the gardens?) or could be done during all the day/night? I understood that no extra payments are needed for the entrances as all is outside, is that correct? How in advance i need to proceed the booking to be sure i will have everything prepared on tour?
Thank you
Written 15 March 2022
Hello, I wouldn’t say it was time limited but during the day/early evening would be best as some of the sculptures and architecture to look out for it quite high up on buildings. I don’t think there was a closing time of the gardens but might be worth checking if you were to do a late tour. You can view where you are going before starting.
There is nothing else to pay for except for the tour itself. Everything is viewed outdoors.
I booked mine about an hour before I was planning on going. Downloaded the app and everything was ready to go in 5 minutes.
Hope this helps and hope you enjoy the tour as much as I did!
