Why we recommend it
Bike Copenhagen with Mike is a small, independent bike tour company, and it is about as personal as a tour company can be. It is a one-man business, owned and operated by Mike himself, and 2026 marks his 20th season showing visitors around the city by bike. Cycling is how many Copenhageners get around, so a guided ride is one of the most natural ways to see the city and to understand its famous cycling culture.
The main tour is the Hello Copenhagen Tour, which the company describes as a cultural crash course in the Danish way of life. The focus is on Danish life and culture as much as on the sights you pass along the way. Private tours can also be arranged for groups who want their own guide. All tours start from the same meeting point at Sankt Peders Stræde 47 in the Latin Quarter, close to City Hall Square and Nørreport.
Bikes are included. They are sturdy, classic three-gear city bikes, which the company cheerfully calls non-sexy but strong, with adjustable saddle height. The maximum rider weight is 110 kilograms. Helmets are available free of charge but are not compulsory. Tours go out in most weather, except when there are official warnings for conditions such as cloudbursts or sub-zero temperatures, so dress for the forecast and bring a waterproof layer.
The tours suit adults and teenagers who are comfortable on a bike; the minimum age is 12 and the maximum is 75. Booking is required, and you receive a confirmation by email once your place is accepted. Payment is in cash only, in Danish kroner, US dollars or euros, and is due before the tour starts, so bring the right currency with you. Check the booking calendar for tour dates and times, as these change through the season, which has recently begun in March and continues into the autumn.
Copenhagen's cycle lanes are busy, especially at rush hour, so a guided ride is a good way to learn the local rules before you rent a bike on your own: keep to the right, signal before stopping or turning, and use lights after dark. The meeting point is a short walk from Hotel SP34 and the Latin Quarter's cafés, so it is easy to fit a tour into a morning in the centre.
