Bike Copenhagen With Mike

While it was chilly, ok freezing– it was an awesome time. Mike is such a blast, has awesome stories, knows so much about Copenhagen and the paths he took us on throughout the city was incredible. We were visiting from Dublin (expats from America) and loved every second of this tour. Highly recommend this for a few hours a day to get some good exposure of the city.

This bike tour was awesome! Mike is very passionate about Copenhagen and it comes through in this tour. He covers all of the main attractions in the city and provides a local spin on food recommendations. A great way to learn about Danish history and political views as well. We would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Copenhagen!

One of the best things I have done in years. A wonderful man who tells a great story.

I really enjoyed Mikes tour. He’s a local and has opinions, which was really interesting as most tours they are very careful to present only historical facts. Mike shared historical, cultural and current political insights. Enjoyed the stories, I learned much about Danish history I never knew or had long since forgotten. I enjoyed cycling the city streets more than I thought, it wasn’t intimidating and I felt safe and understand why so many people cycle in Copenhagen: courteous car drivers and pedestrians!
Cash only, but great ride! Mike even offered to mail his postcard for me to a friend in California. Class Act!

Great ride and well thought out performance by Mike. A gem.
Biking is fundamental to how this city works so what better way to get to know it.
Mike give you facts and experience that is historical and whimsical at the same time with the goal of knowing the Danish people. He leaves you with so good Resturant tips so it is a great way to kick off a few days in the city. I took the general city tour but that totally silent Zen tour looks fun.
The weather will be your biggest challenge. Dress appropriately in layers for shifting conditions. Finding sunny spots to stand was part of the experience in my opinion.
Mike choses the route with a bit of on the spot whimsy. He is a philosophical guy and smart to take us in winding circles that open up your and and gives you a bit of the thrill of biking down tight alleys. The challenge to keep up is part of the flavor but again strategic in my opinion as you experience that bikes can take you almost anywhere in the city.
Believe him though that you should be confident on a bike in an urban environment.

Excellent tour of Copenhagen two weeks ago under warm sunny skies. I would do it my first day when visiting to get an overview of the city. I only had two days, but was able to explore with confidence the areas visited on the tour. Mike was a wonderful guide as well. I ran into Rick Steve’s (of rick Steve’s Europe television program) in Oslo, and mentioned enjoying Mikes tour, and he agreed with me! You don’t need to be an expert bike rider however you should be a CONFIDENT bike rider, as the course could be challenging for some. Thanks Mike!

Loved Mike. He’s a fun and knowledgeable guide who loves what he does and is proud of his city. I rented a bike on my own the day before and Mike was able to show me some paths and sights I would definitely have missed.
The pace of the ride is just right — everyone from adults to children were able to keep up. His spiel is never stale as he included lots of up to date facts and a few jokes to keep things interesting.
I left off a star because we passed some things on the tour that I’d have liked to pause and take pics of but it’s not that big of a deal because you could always return later if you like I guess.
Good price, a little over three hours. Cash only. Will recommend.

Just wrapped up the City Tour — 3 hours, 15 very flat kilometers, and more beautiful brick buildings and copper-​roofed clocktowers than you can shake a stick at.
Mike’s a solid tourguide — he’s very proud of his country, and his city. He blends more than a little modern politics in with the history — we heard about DANIDA (the humanitarian Danish International Development Agency) and several recent military actions, along with the 17^th century sieges.
He’s also an excellent bike tour leader; he started off with a very earnest safety lecture (which he had to interrupt several times to tell people to get _​out_​of the street and _​onto_​the sidewalk while they were listening. For the riding, he guided us through some small streets, some bike lanes along major streets, and several parks. The worst traffic was during crossings of major roads.
Not sure I’d call it «raw» or «street theater» as he blazons across his bikes and websites, but it’s much punchier than your average history-​and-​sights narration.
The bikes themselves were perfect — comfortable, easy to use (front hand brake, rear foot brake), and in good repair. Even 3-​speeds, although I can’t imagine needing more than one speed on this tour — but everyone got to choose which of the three speeds suited them. If you’ve got a handbag, Mike gives you one with a basket.
Got this as a suggestion from a friend who used to live in København — and I’ll pass it along to anyone who asks. Mike’s bike tours are the best way to see the city.
(Do bring cash — Dkk 290 for the City tour as I write this).
