★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 642 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $122

Spend about four hours tasting Swedish food with guides such as Cotton, Teresa, Sarah, and Caoimhe. Visit Östermalms Saluhall, K25, Hötorgshallen, and Old Town for meatballs, seafood, game meats, licorice, cloudberry jam, beer, wine, and fika.

“Cotton was an amazing guide and the range of Swedish foods that we tried was impressive, a very big variety. I won't say what we had but some recipes dated back to the 1600's. I suggest you don't have breakfast because there is a lot of food and we were very full by the end. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“The guide was very knowledgeable about the area history and personable. But the food was minimal and less interesting than most food tours we have taken. Half a cinnamon roll, a small fish cake, a bowl of fish soup, an apple juice and very small historic beer. It could have been half the price and half the time.”

10.Copenhagen Private Food Walking Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $202

Explore Copenhagen with a private English-speaking guide such as Monica, Claudio, Fabrine, or Grazi. Taste Danish hotdogs, pastries, smørrebrød, chocolates, and other local favorites while walking from Torvehallerne to City Hall Square and the Round Tower.

“Our guide chose excellent food experiences—very delicious and very Danish. We enjoyed walking and getting an overview of the city. Our guide, Crystal, had local insights that were interesting and personal. But, the tour was not a good value. The price should be a flat rate with optional up charges for alcohol, which we did not have. $400 for two felt overpriced for a hot dog between us, some pastries, strawberries, a few fancy chocolates, a couple of sodas and 2 smorresbord. Our guide was a nice person but looked like she had just rolled out of bed. Sorry for the plain critique; grooming matters.”
