Find Local Guides in North Zealand – Tours, Stories and Unique Experiences

The North Zealand guides can put together a programme tailored to your wishes or take you on tours of the region’s major attractions, such as Frederiksborg Castle, Fredensborg Palace, Royal North Zealand National Park, or the fascinating maritime history along the coast.

In Gilleleje and Nivå, the stories of the Jews’ escape across the Øresund in October 1943 are especially significant. Here, guided tours can be combined with a museum visit in Gilleleje or a visit to Gilleleje Church, which once sheltered refugees.

The guides are also happy to take you out into nature. This could be a cycling trip along the Gilbjerg Path, with a stop by Søren Kierkegaard’s memorial, or a hike around Esrum Abbey. If you’re looking for a longer route, the new Halsnino Trail is highly recommended. You can also combine cycling and hiking, for example, along the Tisvilde Way.

Go on a tour with Charlotte Thalmay

All my life, I have loved telling stories. That is why I trained as a professional tour guide at Roskilde University (RUC) in 1996, and for more than 25 years, I have carried out countless assignments as both a guide and a castle tour leader.

Our beautiful region is full of fascinating stories, each of which contributes to the special atmosphere that millions of tourists come to experience every year. Through my historical research, I have uncovered entertaining personalities, unique anecdotes, and curious details that I look forward to sharing with you.

I especially enjoy exploring hidden corners and unexpected places, and bringing forward amusing stories and historical quirks that I can’t wait to tell you about.

Here are some examples of tours I would love to take you and your group on:

• Experience Kronborg Castle as we explore all its hidden corners
• City walks in Gilleleje with a special focus on the story of the Jews’ escape — told with a personal perspective
• A visit to Frederiksborg Castle, an overwhelming and breathtaking experience, especially with a personal guide who knows all the best stories

Bring the family, arrange a company outing, or join with your association for a memorable trip.

I am happy to organise tours for larger groups by bus, smaller parties by car, or simply by meeting on location.
