What are people saying about Copenhagen

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.

Highly recommend!

Sillas was a really great guide. Would highly recommend this trip. It packs in so much within one day. Sillas gave really good recommendations for what to see and where to eat etc. in the limited time we had at each stop. Make sure you wear comfy trainers to walk about in, there is a lot of walking involved.

Great family outing

Great tour! We went in December and it was cold, but there was a nice covered heated area to sit in. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer additional questions. Our kids (ages 11 and 7) had fun and learned a lot about Copenhagen. Even if your kids weren’t interested in the history, there’s lots to look at and you go under a lot of cool bridges.

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!

Glad we went!

Have a good camera ready to take a lot of great shots!! I took a photo from the top looking down into the tower that's pretty awesome. The nature surrounding was refreshing and the store was really good to visit. Do wear clothing/shoes that you don't mind getting muddy for visiting the two trolls. Our tour guide was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and you could really tell he loved his job, which added to the tour.

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!

Exceptional Tour

Great all day tour of places we wanted to see outside of Copenhagen. Although there is a lot of walking and we were exhausted at the end of the day, the tour was very worthwhile. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all of our stops. We definitely would recommend this tour.

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.
