What are people saying about Denmark

Mary_G, Mar 2026

Fantastic tour experience!

Lena was a great local tour guide - very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the places we saw! The tour was given in English, and was very easy to understand - our total tour group was 12 adults so we could easily hear and follow Lena as she led us through the city. She was also very knowledgeable about Danish customs and shared her personal experiences - it was interesting to chat and compare to our home country (US) and the countries of our tour-mates. I especially loved that we also got to ride in a ferry and see some of the city via canal. We ended by seeing the changing of the guards, and Lena knew exactly where to stand to get the best view. She also had a great restaurant suggestion at the end of the tour, and we ended up eating lunch with some of our tour-mates. Overall, a fantastic tour and I’d highly recommend, especially if given by Lena!

A Fun Day Among The Giants

This was a great excursion. Seeing these amazing giant handcrafted trolls, hearing about their history, what the artist was representing, and why the artist created them was truly enjoyable, and very educational. Our guide also truly added to the excursion, they were extremely informative about all the trolls and really enhanced the overall experience!

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.

Dress warm and get ready...

Dress warm and get ready for a superb experience. Water is super calm so not bad for those unsure about boating. Well informed, casual captain showed us places other tours don’t go to. There’s a variety of beverages for purchase glogg, cocoa, beer. The boat is really cute outfitted with lanterns, blankets. Restroom break during one stop. 10/10 recommend, I think you’ll love it.

This was such a fun...

This was such a fun experience for my husband and I! It was the first thing we did when we got to Copenhagen, which was great because we got to know what the locals eat and drink, learn some history, and got a list of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun!

Great tour

Our guide, Daniele, did a great job showing us around Copenhagen! We saw all the highlights but I loved how he took us down smaller roads and alleyways and into smaller squares to get a less “tourist” vibe of the city. His commentary was very interesting. Would highly recommend.

Great views from top of Tower

Tour guide and transportation was top notch. Pleasant 1 hour ride to Camp Adventure. Easy boardwalk walk to Tower. 2 hours spent at location is perfect amount of time to tour tower and grab a bite to eat. The Giants/trolls will put a big smile on your face. It was nice to step away from the hustle bustle of downtown Copenhagen and see/enjoy the Denmark countryside for a few hours.

Must do in DK

Tour guide was excellent, extremely laid back and knowledgeable of the city. Tour van was extremely clean and tour guide had great driving. This tour was more self guided in comparison to other tours we’ve been on — thankful for this. We never felt rushed; pacing of the day was perfect.
