Six giants and a countryside tea stop in Copenhagen. I love the small-group feel and the guide-led giant spotting across the suburbs, but you should expect some walking on uneven ground.

You’ll meet at Valdemarsgade 15 around 10:00, ride between sites in a comfortable car, and warm up with tea or coffee during the route. Copenhagen days can get hectic fast, so this is a fun, low-stress way to see the art without trying to figure out transit in the rain.

Key Highlights That Make This Tour Fun

• Thomas Dambo’s Six Forgotten Giants: a focused hunt for each named giant, not a random photo walk
• Private transport between scattered sites: you get out of the city without burning your legs on transit
• Tea/coffee break built in: you get a real pause halfway through, which helps in Danish weather
• Guides who tell stories and help with photos: Milad and Ahmed are specifically praised for staying engaged and taking pictures
• Small group capped at 6: easier conversations, faster photo rounds, and less waiting around
• Expect some walking at each stop: plan for uneven paths and bring good shoes

Six Forgotten Giants: What This Hunt Really Feels Like

This is not a museum slog. It’s more like going on a whimsical art scavenger hunt with a guide who knows where the giants are hiding. The route is built around leaving Copenhagen and heading into greener suburbs, where the sculptures feel like they belong in the outdoor world, not behind ropes.

The best part is the balance. You get enough walking to feel like you earned the photos, but the tour also uses car time to keep the day from turning into a full-on hike. You’ll finish the 4 hours with that rare combo: fresh air, fun surprises, and not feeling cooked by the logistics.

The giants themselves are playful and easy to love. Even if you only catch a quick glance as you round a corner, the names do the work: Sleeping Louis, Hilltop Trine, Oscar Under The Bridge, Thomas on the Mountain, Little Tilde, and Teddy Friendly. Each stop is its own photo moment.

One practical note I’m glad you’re warned about: there’s walking at the sites. It’s not described as extreme, but it’s enough that you should think about mobility before you book.

Price and the Value of Not Wrestling Copenhagen Transit

At $142.47 per person for about 4 hours, this isn’t a cheap impulse activity. So the question becomes value: are you paying extra for convenience and guidance, or are you paying extra for nothing?

In this case, the value is the structure. You’re paying for:

• Private transportation between the city and the giant locations
• A guide who keeps the group moving from stop to stop
• A scheduled tea/coffee break, so you’re not hunting for a café while the light changes
• A small group (max 6), which means less time waiting and more time actually looking

If you’re the type who wants to see specific sights without turning your day into route-planning homework, this price starts to make sense. You’re buying time and focus. And if you’re short on time in Copenhagen, a guided “half-day” format helps you pack in something different than the usual city highlights.

Meeting at Valdemarsgade and the Ride That Changes Everything

You’ll start at Valdemarsgade 15, 1665 København, with the tour beginning at 10:00 and ending back at the same spot. That round-trip convenience matters more than people think. After a few hours out of the city, having your transportation and end point handled is a big relief.

The tour uses private transportation, and it’s comfortable enough that you can treat the car ride as part of the experience, not just a necessary transfer. In the feedback, the driving gets praised for being safe and the vehicle gets described as spotless. That tells me the operator cares about comfort and timing.

Also, you’re going out into Copenhagen suburbs. That’s where the giants are. Without a car, you’d likely spend time juggling trains, buses, and awkward walking. With the tour, you just show up, hop in, and let the hunt begin.

Language is English, and the format is built for regular sightseeing pace, not a sprint through countryside stops.

Stop-by-Stop: The Six Giants You’ll Be Searching For

This hunt is built as a sequence, with breaks in between. You’ll start in the Copenhagen area, then work through six named giant sites. Each stop is planned for scenery and photos, so you’re not just passing by and hoping you got lucky.

Here’s what to expect at each named location, and why the stops are fun:

Sleeping Louis (Probably Dreaming About You)

Sleeping Louis is exactly what it sounds like: a giant tied to rest. These are the kinds of sculptures where the pose is the point, so give yourself a minute when you arrive. Look for the angle that makes the “sleeping” vibe work in your photos.

Practical tip: if it’s rainy, your best photos may come from stepping back and framing the scene before you rush closer. You’ll get a better shot and you won’t need to fight the weather while holding your phone at awkward angles.

Hilltop Trine (A View Spot Worth the Effort)

Hilltop Trine is built for height and perspective. Even without climbing anything dramatic, the name suggests you’ll want to find the best spot to take in both the giant and the surroundings.

If you like photos where the subject feels dramatic against the setting, Trine is likely your stop. And since the tour keeps a comfortable rhythm, you’re not stuck waiting for the group while you experiment.

Oscar Under The Bridge (Look Down for the Surprise)

Oscar Under The Bridge is a different kind of scene. Instead of a wide “everyone look here” moment, you’ll likely spend more time searching in a lower area near the bridge context suggested by his name.

This is where a guide really pays off. You don’t want to miss the point of a hidden-from-direct-view sculpture. Having someone who knows where to look means you spend time enjoying the giant, not wandering around like you’re trying to win a scavenger hunt with sore feet.

Coffee Break Reset (Before the Route Continues)

There’s a coffee or tea break after you’ve visited the first set of sites. This matters because it gives you a chance to warm up, regroup, and refill water before the second half.

In the feedback, the break gets described as cozy, even when it’s rainy, and biscuits/hot tea show up as part of the vibe. Even if the exact setting varies, expect it to be a real pause, not a quick stop where everyone barely stands up.

Thomas on the Mountain (Big Presence, Best Photos with Patience)

Thomas on the Mountain sounds like a “go up and take in the view” type of giant. You’ll want to approach this stop a little slower. The first place you see him might not be the best place for photos.

Take 2 minutes, scan for the best viewing angle, and then move in. The guide’s timing helps here because the group isn’t meant to linger endlessly, but you still get the chance to get your bearings.

Little Tilde (The Cute Giant That Pulls You In)

Little Tilde shifts the energy. When a giant is described as the cutest one, the site tends to invite close-up moments. You’ll likely get more playful shots here, like family-style photos and candid “we found it” expressions.

If you’re traveling with kids or teens, this stop is often the one that wins them over. Even for adults, the charm is the point, so let yourself enjoy the moment instead of trying to make it a checklist.

Teddy Friendly (The Cuddly End of the Hunt)

Teddy Friendly is the tour’s warm finale. The name sets expectations for something soft-looking and approachable, so the mood tends to feel lighter. By the time you reach this stop, you’re usually already in the hunt mindset, which makes the “cuddly” giant feel like a reward.

This is also a great place to get group photos before you head back. The tour ends where you started, so you’ll want a few images that show everyone together at the last giant location.

Tea, Timing, and Why This 4-Hour Format Works

The tour runs about 4 hours, which is a smart length for two reasons. First, it’s long enough to do all six giants without feeling like you’re rushing. Second, it’s short enough that you’re still fresh afterward in Copenhagen.

The pacing is helped by the car. Even though you walk a bit at each stop, you’re not spending the full day on your feet. The result is a “half-day adventure” that feels active but not punishing.

One more thing: the tea/coffee break isn’t just a nice touch. It keeps energy stable. Danish weather can flip quickly, and getting warm with a drink makes it easier to keep enjoying the hunt instead of starting to feel cold and irritated.

If the weather turns wet, you’ll still be able to continue. In feedback, guides are praised for handling rain with practical touches like umbrellas in at least some cases, but you shouldn’t assume that’s guaranteed. Pack for the day you’re actually going to get.

What to Bring: Water, Shoes, and the Danish Weather Reality Check

The essentials are blunt, and they’re worth listening to:

• Bring water
• Wear good walking shoes
• Dress for unpredictable weather

The reason I’m emphasizing shoes is simple: this tour includes getting to and from spots where you’ll walk to find the giant. Even if the walking is not described as extremely long, terrain can be uneven, and wet surfaces can make everything slower.

For clothing, think layers. If it’s dry, layers keep you from sweating. If it rains, layers help you stay comfortable long enough to enjoy the photo moments.

Also, because this is a mobile ticket experience and you’re meeting at a specific address, be ready at the start time. Being late can throw off the timing for the whole mini-route.

Small Group Energy: Why Max 6 People Matters

A maximum of 6 travelers is a big deal on a hunt like this. In a smaller group, you don’t constantly wait for a line to form. You also get better conversations, because people aren’t stuck in a silent train of spectators.

The guide role gets easier too. In the feedback, hosts like Milad and Ahmed get praised for being friendly, polite, and engaged, and for staying on top of timing. One guide is also described as a former teacher who told stories and kept everyone involved.

If you like to ask questions—about Copenhagen, Denmark, or the giant sites—small-group format makes it realistic to get answers without feeling like you’re interrupting a bus tour.

Should Anyone Skip This? Walking and Getting In/Out of the Car

Most people can participate, but the tour itself isn’t meant for everyone. If you have walking difficulties or mobility limitations, think carefully.

Here’s the issue: there are multiple stops, some walking at sites, and car transfers. One account described a situation where difficulty getting in and out of the vehicle led to extra time. That suggests timing can be affected if someone has trouble with mobility steps or uneven ground.

So if you’re unsure, ask yourself this: would you be okay with short walks to find each giant, plus the physical effort of entering/exiting the car multiple times?

If the answer is no, consider a different tour that’s more fully accessible.

Final Thoughts: Book It If You Want a Whimsical Half-Day With Less Hassle

I think this is an excellent choice if you’re:

• Short on time in Copenhagen and want something different than the usual city loop
• Interested in Thomas Dambo’s Six Forgotten Giants and want to find all six, not just one or two
• Willing to walk a bit, but you still want the day to feel comfortable
• Traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and you like small-group settings

I’d think twice if you:

• Have limited mobility or find uneven ground hard
• Expect a fully vehicle-based experience with zero walking

For most people, the value comes from the mix: private transport, a planned route, and a friendly guide who helps you find the giants and get good photos without turning the day into a logistical puzzle.

If that sounds like your kind of Copenhagen day, this hunt is a fun bet.
