I became a guide almost immediately after moving to Copenhagen, this city completely captured my heart with its beauty and cozy atmosphere. I realized that what I wanted most was to share it with others and tell its incredible stories. In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I created the project Copenhagen Stories. At first, my tours were for locals. That’s how my signature routes were born, through hidden courtyards, the charming streets of the Old Town, and in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen. Over time, travellers from all over the world began to join my walks, and I expanded the geography of my tours.

Now, with me, you can discover a different side of Copenhagen, the one beyond the typical tourist paths, exploring unique neighborhoods like Østerbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, and Christianshavn. My tours are designed in the spirit of hygge. You won’t just learn about the city and its people — you’ll wander through secret courtyards, see where locals relax, and take in the city from above. And of course, you’ll taste Copenhagen, too. Would you prefer a herring smørrebrød or a cinnamon "snail"?

I invite you to experience the city the way I feel it.
See you in Copenhagen!

My name is Svetlana Gehrs. I’ve been living in Denmark since 2017. Before that, I called Saint Petersburg home, and I’m originally from the city of Izhevsk. I’ve spent my entire life working with people as a journalist, photographer, English teacher, and even a voice yoga coach. Today, I’m a tour guide in Copenhagen. I'm passionate about history, art, languages, music, and travel. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, "To travel is to live."
