About your guide:
Svetlana fell in love with Danmark in 2015, the same year she met her future Danish husband. Since then, she has been exploring culture, history and language of this beautiful country. At some point, she realized it was time to share all the knowledge she acquired through her research of the subject. That’s how she started working as a guide in Copenhagen.
Svetlana about her work: “The city is like a painting. You’re reading it layer by layer. You could walk the same street an endless amount of times and then one day you spot beautiful details you haven't noticed before. It can be a small lantern, a king’s monogram or an angel figure. And every time small wonders like that happen, you can feel a new chapter of your relationship with the city is unfolding. The city can see your passion and it’s slightly revealing its secrets to you. All these discoveries I’d like to share with all the guests who are ready to dive into city’s past and present with an open heart”.
See you around!
