Architecture guide Asser MunchAsser Munch is an architect and architecture guide in Copenhagen. On his tours he shares his knowledge, views and profound love for the city, for it's buildings, it's bike lanes and public spaces and for the urban life that unfolds here.
Check out his tour schedule.

✩✩✩✩✩

Stephen: This tour was exceptional, a highlight of our short trip to Copenhagen. It helped us break out of the most walkable area of the city and see more parts to explore. Asser catered the tour perfectly to our group. I personally did not know much about Danish architecture or even Denmark, and I left the tour impressed and with some insights on what it's like to live or study in Copenhagen. He also answered questions we had about the rest of our trip, being one of the few locals we spent an extended amount of time with and felt comfortable asking. 100% recommend booking this! ✩✩✩✩✩
