Spend about two hours walking from Tivoli Gardens to Kongens Nytorv with a private English-speaking guide.

“I was in Copenhagen recently for business and I had a free day and I took this tour. It was a much needed refresher for me to see wonderful decorations and preparations for the upcoming Christmas of 2023. The tour guide made this tour interesting by telling the group about how Christmas is celebrated in Copenhagen, and we also saw some landmarks in Copenhagen. I enjoyed this tour.”

4.Segway Tour: Copenhagen Christmas Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $71Best value

Cruise Copenhagen’s waterfront and car-free streets by Segway, starting at Langelinie and reaching the Little Mermaid, Nyhavn, Amalienborg, and the Citadel. Your guide leads a small group of up to 10, with headsets, training, a 30-minute Christmas market break, and a complimentary organic drink at the end. Warm layers and gloves are essential.

“My wife and I did the Christmas tour and it was a really nice experience. You actually get to see a lot on the Segway tour part and you begin in an area with no trafic which we really liked. They do tell you to dress warm and although we said no to borrow gloves at the start of the tour, we were very glad the guide had some spare in his bag which we gladly accepted after 5 minutes :) It was nice with the break at the Christmas markets and we went to see both of them. Had a really fun guide and we felt very safe throughout.…”
