Testimonials
Copenhagen, Food, Bikes & Cindie – Pure Magic!
“When traveling we often do food and bike tours to get an overview of the area and to discuss issues with a local. While Stockholm was great, the food and bike tours were frankly not great. Cindie more than made up with it by providing an amazing blend of fantastic food (and I mean really fantastic), great biking to a more quiet section of Copenhagen and access to locations we would never of found ourselves. We were blesssed with an amazing Spring day – and had the opportunity meet the chefs, dine al fresco and even hang out on a local dock eating salmon tartare and the best cod I have ever had (while sunbathing with the beautiful people of Copenhagen). If you are going to Copenhagen, the Food and Bike tour is an amazing experience you should not miss”.
Couldn’t have been more perfect!
I was fortunate to be able to spend a long weekend in Copenhagen. I selected this tour as I love to bicycle and try local cuisine. And we were lucky to get a beautiful, sunny day! This tour was a perfect match for my first full day in CPH. It helped me get a lay of and feel for the city as well as ideas for other places and restaurants to visit beyond the tour. After this, I enjoyed the bicycling part so much that I was comfortable and confident to check out a bike from my hotel and use it for the rest of my trip. I was able to see so much more that way. Our host Cindie helped us in so many ways. She is really knowledgeable of the area and the best of the food scene in CPH, truly fantastic and worth the price. We felt so welcomed at all of the wonderful places that she brought us to. Thank you for this excellent experience and introduction to your awesome city!
Copenhagen Bites, Bikes, and Sites
This is one of the best ways you can spend your time in Copenhagen. A bike tour allows you to see so much of a city in a short amount of time and if you don’t bike in one of the biking capitals of the world, you would be missing out. Combine this with the culinary delights of Copenhagen and you have a perfect tour. The tour is capped at eight people and this really provides an intimate experience and makes the bilking much easier. I did another bike tour in Copenhagen with over 20 people and it was much more overwhelming. The small group size also allowed you to connect with everyone else on the tour, as was the case with my group. We were led by Cindie, the founder of the company, and she was everything you could ask for in a tour guide. She has a great passion for the city and the food scene in Copenhagen and made a point to engage every guest. She provided a lot of information without ever being boring and came across as a very genuine and kind person. The food stops were all varied and delicious, giving you a good feel for different aspects of the Copenhagen food scene. We had a mix of savory and sweet, street food and refined fare, and the traditional and innovative. I won’t spoil any of the spots, but it was nice to tour an area outside of the center, seeing the greater Christianshavn area, including a stop in Christiania for those who don’t want to go on their own. I wish I had booked another one of their tours, but I will have to save it for a return visit.
