Christianshavn is a man-made island neighborhood in Copenhagen. It was established in the early 17th century by King Christian IV as a military fortification and center for commerce. Divided by a network of canals, it is often compared to Amsterdam in style.
Christianshavn used to be a working-class neighborhood in the 20th century, but it has since evolved and now is considered to be quite a lively, diverse, and trendy neighborhood. Its streets branch out from the main canal and the houses are colorful and quaint. It is a great area for a stroll or to grab a meal.

Our tour guide was Mariella and our bus driver was James. We had a fairly large group and although I was travelling alone, I really enjoyed this tour. Mariella was terrific! The weather started off poorly but that didn't dampen our spirits. She was very knowledgeable and had a great way of explaining details in an interesting way. I've taken a few different tours, and Mariella was the best tour guide I've experienced. Copenhagen is a beautiful city with lots of history!

We were only on a 36 hour trip from the UK and felt this tour took in everything we needed to see in Copenhagen in a short space of time. Our guide was informative and the coach was an excellent standard. Well worth the money especially if your on a weekend break and don't have time to take in everything at your own pace.
