“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.”
