Great day trip out of Copenhagen!
This tour was perfect for our trip to Denmark! It gave us a little slice of everything for visiting locations outside Copenhagen with very little planning and stress if we tried to do everything by ourselves via public transport. The small van was perfect, comfortable, had AC, and provided water. It was great.
Hamlet's Castle was very cool and the history was very interesting, we did see only a portion of the castle, but it included the main attractions without getting too distracted in every room.
Frederiksborg Castle was the highlight, the place is amazing and had all we usually enjoy about castles. It is self guided and this part is also considered time to have lunch at a cafe. We would highly suggest that you pack your own lunch and eat on the van rather than waste time eating lunch here. We had roughly two hours at the castle and managed to see mostly everything at a leisurely pace, would've been rushed or missed parts if we tried to sit down for lunch here.
The Cathedral was next on our itinerary and was very interesting. Honestly, we booked this tour for the two castles and the viking ships and forgot there was a stop at the cathedral. Ended up being a great stop off and super interesting.
Finally the viking ship museum was super interesting, albeit the museum itself is quite small and easy to do. The highlights at the museum itself were being able to go onto some of the recreations of the ships that they have found. We had the entire longship to ourselves at the end of the day and it was great.
Finally, our tour guide James was amazing and very informative throughout the whole trip. 10/10 would do again!
FYI the viking ship museum had signs saying that they would be temporarily closed in the coming years as they relocate the ships to a new location on site. So if the viking ships are your main draw it may not be available in the future.

Nice tour, much was self guided.
Much of the tour is self guided. The maps provided are challenging. Our driver/guide was great and super helpful and patient. Vehicle was adequate for a group our size, but if the bus is full it would be tight. Wonderful tour to see some historic sights and hear history of the area.

Castles & Viking
This is a full day of learning and very interesting. Highly recommend - Rene was Super Fantastic! He has some opinions about Sweden - which were interesting. Great trip - lots to explore and well worth it. It is a full day's journey with narration almost the entire trip. Fascinating!

Amazing tour guide wonderful town
Graziela was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of malmo but also was a great person to talk to.
Malmo is a beautiful town worth visiting if you can. Graziela also brought us to a wonderful cafe where the locals go and an added bonus of going to a sweet shop which our daughter thoroughly enjoyed
Make sure you wear comfortable sneakers!!

A great experience
Simon, our guide was excellent. We enjoyed the places we were taken to the food was delicious and the information he provided was very interesting. This was a very well planned food tour, but it didn’t involve a lot of walking so be prepared and enjoy.

Enchanting Beautiful!
One of the most amazing sights I've ever seen. Getting to the tower through the woods on a wooden path was magical and dreamy. Going up the tower was extremely accessible to everybody - including the elderly, kids on strollers, and the disabled. The view from the top was breathtakingly beautiful. I wish we had a lot more time to experience the zipline network which crisscrossed the forest. Get there early and plan on spending most of the day there to have an unforgettable time of your life.

Great day out with our...
Great day out with our guide Ken. We traveled in a small group and he guided us through Hamlets castle and we saw some short performances by actors doing their take on Hamlet. Then went for a delicious lunacy and then to Frederiksburg castle. Dropped off at our hotel. Very fun and interesting day for all ages.

Much to see in a good amount of time
This is a wonderful, experience-packed day of many sights, filled with lots of history and encounters with great architecture. It covers a lot of ground in both Denmark and Sweden. Plus a ferry ride! Mustafa was an excellent and most congenial chauffer and guide. Highly recommended!

Tour was fantastic, Julie...
Tour was fantastic, Julie was awesome! IMPORTANT: Viator does not give to correct time to show up for the boat ride. It says 5:30 but that is departure time, we showed up at 5:25 and could not get on the boat as we had to first go to the kiosk to get valid tickets as the viator provided QR code is not accepted. Get there early and have a great ride!

Do not miss
Received a letter day before with more details, which was great. Vin was on time. Bus was new & clean. Provided bottled water. Good air-conditioning and sound system. Used a cool AI technology that was very informational. Plenty of time at each site as long as you manage it well. He pointed out every bathroom opportunity and coffee, snack, and food opportunities. He gave suggested routes so you can manage your time well. Our guide was friendly and treated everyone well. This is a very physical tour but well worth it. Per other people’s suggestions, I took a hand towel to put my feet in the water at the bottom of the cliff and it helped to cool down after the long trek down the hundreds of steps.

Delightful morning walk
Our guide, Isabella, was wonderful! She set a pace that worked for our small group (only five: a couple and three solo travelers) and gave us lots of stories and information about the areas we walked through. We learned about Denmark and life there as a student. All in all, a delightful morning. Highly recommend. Of course, the sunny day helped, too

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.
