What are people saying about Copenhagen

Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen

Richard_H, Apr 2026

Grand Tour Excellence

Fabulous venues visited with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Thomas provided great informative commentary and insights into Danish history at the same time as providing an entertaining visit to all of the sites. The tapestries on the walls of the Frederiksberg Castle were stunning and a standout well worth the visit.

The Forest Tower and Forgotten Giants-A day tour from Copenhagen

Jacqueline_R, Apr 2026

Unique experience

Enjoyed my day trip to the forest tower and giant trolls. Our guide was super pleasant and very knowledgeable. The forest tower view was spectacular and the walk through the woods was peaceful. A short drive after we saw two of the giant trolls, Hilltop Trine and Sleeping Louis. An excellent day out of Copenhagen!

Hamlet and Sweden Tour - Two Countries in one day !

Gurunathan_S, Apr 2026

A good experience worth the time

Pick up from hotel was on time and all necessary details were sent in advance. Sten, our guide was very informative and provided many interesting facts and details. Time at Kornburg was short and could have given 15 - 20 minutes more. The confusion ticketing at kornburg where the staff at gates unaware of ticketing office at entrance being closed did not help. Tips from experience: book tickets online to save time. 15 minutes intro by guides highly recommended to get backdrop of castle. Lund and Malmo went well. Overall highly recommended.

A fun and informative tour

The tour took in a lot of the sights along the canals and the guide told us lots of the history but she was really funny so it didn’t get boring. I was worried it would be cold but the boat had a glass roof so not cold inside and still had a good view. Overall it was really good and I would recommend to people of all ages.

3-hour Copenhagen City Highlights Bike Tour

Jaelen_S, Mar 2026

Great tour!

I loved this bike tour, Rafael was such a great guide! I like the route we took and he told us a lot of information about the city. That is my favorite part of doing tours like this, hearing things about the city from someone who lives there. Rafael made this tour exceptional with his knowledge about Copenhagen and Denmark in general.

Malmö & Lund Tour, Crossing the Øresund Bridge to Sweden

Akshay_K, Feb 2026

Great Experience of Southern Sweden from Denmark

We went in Feb 2026, the coldest winter in Denmark for 17 years. There was snow all around. Our guide Mario was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and kept us all engaged for the entirety of the tour. It is not a very long tour, as Malmo and Lund are both within 100 km of Copenhagen on very good roads. We had ample time to explore both historic towns, get a bite to eat, and still be in time for a view of the bridge from Sweden! A great experience overall, would recommend.

Wonderful Tour

Karoline was the best tour guide! She was a wonderful storyteller, making us feel connected to the history and culture of Denmark and Copenhagen. She was warm and welcoming, so knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions with ease. She took us through some great locations, took us to get some delicious treats, and we managed to time it so perfectly that we got to watch the guard and band marching for the changing of the guard. I learned so much and this tour will remain one of the most memorable parts of my entire trip. Thank you, Karoline!

Møns klint and The Forest tower - A day tour from Copenhagen

Cat_M, Oct 2025

2 Climbs to Remember

This was a ‘choose your level’ adventure - which is much appreciated. The Forest Tower is a gradual climb and Møns Klint has 3 levels of difficulty from which to choose. We were given ample time at each destination, and were showered with a multitude of interesting trivia and history between destinations. Entertaining and amusing! Thank you to our wonderful guide (I didn’t quite catch your name sorry - could be Mosha)

Malmö Full Day Private Trip, Sightseeing Tour & Lunch Option

Stephen_L, Oct 2025

An Amazing Experience in Malmö!

Our family absolutely enjoyed our day-long private walking tour of Malmö, Sweden led by our Malmö-native Viator guide. She was flexible with our pick-up time and location, and offered us a vibrant glimpse into her city! We started with a trip across the Øresund Bridge on the train, and disembarking at the Central Rail station in Malmö. She began with more recent history of the newer developments built on the former ship yards, including the Turning Torso, and took us across the shoreline. Mixing in bus rides and walking, we visited the old city center, St Peter's Church, the Storttorget, and then to eat lunch in the newest "old" square, Gustav Adolf Torg. After this, we walked through the town to Malmö castle, the original Fish Market, and ended across from Central Station with delicious Pastries at St. Jakob's Bakery. Lesley's tour was informative, lively, humourous and always flexible to capture something new or or interest if we passed something. Extra thoughtful was an extra stop at Triangle for a visit to a candy store for our son! Malmö was beautiful, but it was even better with our Viator guide!

The tour itself is wonderful but René made the difference. He is so nice and charming! Gave a lot of information during the whole tour. Not only about the places we were visiting but about Denmark in general. I strongly recommend this activity. Thank you Ophelia Tours and of course thank you René!

Kronborg (Hamlet Castle) & Frederiksborg Castles: PRIVATE TOUR

Carmen_L, Jul 2025

From Kronborg to Louisiana, and back to be Viking

Our 9-hour sojourn on July 16 visiting Kronborg Castle, Louisanna Museum and Viking Ship Meseum was such a rich and fulfilling experience seeing these gems of Denmark, yet almost effortless through the fantastic arrangement of Edgar, our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly, his amazing story-telling skills had brought life to the history and joy to his audience. We are also thankful to Jose, our driver for taking care of us on the road and being always impeccably on time to meet us after we finished a spot so we wasted no time to head to the next destination. A long day for us starting at 9am and finishing at 6pm, but an eye-opening and enjoyable experience to see 3 very different attractions of Denmark.
