Facts 'n' Information
We are...
Urban Geeks on Bikes…
beCopenhagen is a small company driven by our passion for our city, its urban qualities, its liveability – and its bikes!
Our ambition is to offer our guests an insight into the real Copenhagen and how life is shaped by its urban spaces, city planning, history – and bikes!
We communicate our local knowledge and views in a personal and straightforward language. We are curious by nature, we like the discussion and don’t shy away from nuanced viewpoints.
We carefully pick the most interesting, important and up-to-date places and subjects. Our guided tours most often go far beyond the touristy city centre, and we know every corner of Copenhagen.
As true Copenhageners, we fancy bikes and cycling. So when we invite you to explore our city, there’s only one way – the bike path!
We encourage you to not just visit Copenhagen. BE Copenhagen!
We do...
Eye-opening, informed and engaging tours in Copenhagen with a focus on urban life.
We invite you behind the facades of one of the most innovative cities in the world so that you will get a first hand experience of the city’s most valuable attraction; it’s ‘liveability’.

Urban life,
Architecture,

Social urban development,

Customers
Loved renting the bikes, the owner was super fun to talk to and gave us amazing tips for the city, he was incredibly helpful. the bikes were in great condition, with a lock and city included. without those bikes our trip wouldnt have been the same!!
This tour will open your eyes to the architecture and history of Copenhagen and get you out of the congested city center and into a wide range of neighborhoods
A perfect tour through the city to obvious and hidden gems. Our tour guide provided us with insights on all different levels of the historic, social and cultural past and future of the city. Apart from a great biking experience this tour was an excellent experience to understand the vibrant atmosphere of Copenhagen. We really appreciated our Guides knowledge and attitude.
I would highly recommend this bike tour. A must do while in Copenhagen! We went on the 3 hour bike tour with our two children ages 12 and 15. Wonderful for the whole family.
