Host and tour guide (NL/EN)

Why did you come to Copenhagen? And what kept you here?
Love brought me here and the city kept me
What are your favourite places in town?
As a small town Dutchie I miss the horizon sometimes due to the city blocking the view therefore I love the view over the lakes. The parks are also great to just wander around in and they are always around the corner.
What surprised you most when you came to Denmark?
3 things really surprised me
1 - How men would walk behind a baby stroller while the woman would walk beside it.
2 - That pedestrians actually wait for red light...
3 - The way traffic lights are set up and everyone gets green on the same time on the same side
Any tips for people coming to Copenhagen:
Don't forget to come back. There is so much to see and experience that you can't see it in one weekend
What do you do besides working for Tropical Bikes?
I make people smile through out the whole year. In the Summer I'm a tour guide for Tropical Bikes, in the Winter I'm an ice hockey trainer for children in the age between 3-9. Between all that I run my own business as balloon artist/decorator. Delivering balloons for joyful moments.
How difficult is the Danish language?
If you read it, it looks a lot like Dutch....yep until you hear it or try to speak it. A little like Gorinchem but pronouncing Gorkum V=W. HV=W. D=L G=K Å=O Ø=EU Æ=è
Lots of people speak English and that makes it tough to learn the language.
What our tour guests say about Fien:
"I had an absolutely delightful time on the Copenhagen Highlight Tour! Our guide, Fien, was great—she was not only informative but also incredibly helpful. We pedalled through iconic spots like Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid, while Fien shared fascinating stories along the way. The leisurely pace allowed for plenty of fun photo ops at each stop. This bike tour is a wonderful way to experience the city's charm up close! Thank you, Fien, for such an unforgettable experience!"

"Had a great time with Tropical Bikes. We took the Copenhagen Highlights tour and had an enjoyable time. My wife and I are in our 70's and found the tour fun and easy to handle. Our tour guide, Fien, was excellent and gave us great insights to the local sights. She helped make the adventure an excellent choice for the day and kept us smiling! They also gave us good recommendations to visit the oldest bakery in Copenhagen for some outstanding pastries. We went back to the bakery several times. They also recommended that we visit Jarmers for lunch, just up the street from Tropical Bikes, and were treated to a tasty and enjoyable lunch. Worth visiting. Great food and enjoyable company there! If given the opportunity, we would definitely take a tour with Tropical Bikes again!"

"Fien was an outstanding host, for our cycling tour!! She talked us through the route first, using a map, and explained everything we needed to know about cycling in Denmark (it's easy, but good to know the rules). We then set off, on correctly sized bikes for each rider, and Fien took care of everything. She ensured that we always knew where to go, and stayed together as a group. The stops, and explanations were extremely interesting, and we got some great recommendations for our stay! I would not hesitate to recommend Fien's cycling tours with Tropical Bikes 🚲 The best way to see Copenhagen, hands down!!"
