Very smooth pick up at the port. Surprisingly, there were not a lot of people on the tour, so we were able to get excellent discussions with our guide. Our bus driver had exceptional driving skills through the city. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this tour.

Clause did an amazing job! Not always easy when some in our group ended up having mobility issues. We saw a lot and he was very informative. Copenhagen has a lot of traffic, but that has nothing to do with the tour. Definitely recommend this tour..

Good experience

Tony_V, Jul 2026

Great tour to learn about capital of Denmark. It's alot of walking and be prepared. Overall is great experience

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Tony, Thank you for your kind feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our Deluxe Copenhagen Shore Excursion and had a great experience discovering the capital of Denmark. As you mentioned, the tour includes walking, as many of Copenhagen’s historic highlights are located in the city center. Unfortunately, many streets in the old city areas are not adapted for vehicle access, which means that walking is the best way to fully experience the charm, history, and atmosphere of these locations. We appreciate your recommendation to future travelers to be prepared for the walking involved, and we hope to welcome you again on another excursion. Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio

Miles of walking

Paul_A, Jun 2026

Be prepared to walk over 3.0 miles or over 7000 steps. The bus bathroom was "broken". And with family member on mobility scooter. Lots of rough riding and curbs without ramps.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of the excursion were challenging for you and your family member. Copenhagen, like many historic European cities, has areas with cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, and limited ramp access in certain locations, which can make full accessibility difficult, especially for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. This is noted in our tour description, as not all sights can be reached directly by bus or are fully step-free. Regarding the walking distance, our tours are designed to cover the main highlights within the available time, and some walking is required to access key viewpoints and historic areas. Our aim is always to pace the experience comfortably for the group as a whole and to make adjustments where possible. We are also sorry to hear about the issue with the bus facilities on the day. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we will ensure this is followed up with the local operator. Thank you again for your comments, and we appreciate your understanding. Kind regards, Natalia Vexperio Team

Great alternative to a cruise ship excursion.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the tour, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Claus. Our team also runs shore excursions in many European ports, and we’d be delighted to welcome you again on a future cruise.

Enjoyed this tour of Copenhagen

Mary_J, Oct 2025

We enjoyed this tour. We saw a lot of Copenhagen highlights and the tour guide and bus driver were very accommodating and we enjoyed learning about the city and the history. Only recommendation I'd make is for the tour guide to get a bigger sign for meeting us at the cruise port. She only had "Vexperio" on her cell phone she was holding up and we would have appreciated an easier/more visible sign to meet her. We eventually found her by asking other travellers who appeared to be gathering for a tour.

Wonderful day

Raylene_H, Oct 2025

Great day with Anders, despite the rainy weather. Saw the highlights of a very gorgeous city. I would pay extra to add time to the tour to give us more free time as it was rushed

Great Host!

Thomas_B, Sep 2025

Our host, Anders, made the tour fun and informative. He was very flexible, adjusting the itinerary after asking us what things we had already seen. He went above and beyond, even buying us some Danish pastries to enjoy. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. We could not have asked for anything more. The price of the tour was a bargain considering the overall experience.

Excellent Shore Excursion of Copenhagen

jrhomere, Sep 2025

The tour was excellent. Although we had a slight delay getting started bc of traffic, everything went as well as could be expected. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to give us some historical perspectives regarding the different sites we were visiting in Copenhagen. The bus was very luxurious and comfortable. The only recommendation I'd make is for the tour to be a bit longer as it seemed rushed at times, and we had very little free time to shop or explore on our own. We wish you much success with the Copenhagen tour, and best of luck! Jean & Marie

Cruising

rmjcha2, Jul 2025

Very enjoyable covering a lot of sights in copenhagen. A lot of walking to see the sight in town. Good guide with sense of humour (sorry cannot remember name but just returned from Greece)

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Copenhagen. We know there’s a bit of walking involved to truly experience the city’s charm, and we’re glad you found the tour worthwhile. We’ll do our best to pass your compliments along to your guide—they’ll be happy to hear your feedback. We hope to welcome you on another Vexperio tour in the future! Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio Team

Tipsy Travel Trip in Denmark!

nannette_D, Jul 2025

We had a private 10 person tour with Paul and he was awesome. He was so knowledgeable, read the group and what we wanted to see. He worked around the crowds, took us to amazing sites and really made it a super fun tour. Our shuttle bus was right there to pick us up for each time we got off the bus. Paul was so fun, and maximized our tour with as much as we could fit in. At the end he dropped us intown where he walked us to his favorite eat spots, make sure we were set before leaving.... I would highly recommend this tour and Paul. He texted me when he was on the dock, and waiting for us. Thank you for the awesome tour Paul.

Thrine_H, Jun 2025

Our tour guide Klaus and driver were great. We got to see some great tourist sites of Copenhagen. Would recommend

Great overview of Copenhagen

Karen_V, May 2025

The tour operator met us at the cruise terminal. This was really valuable to us so we didn’t have to find any meeting place. The weather was bad but we had a great time touring the city and seeing the sights. Our tour guide Breit was wonderful answering questions and giving stories and information. One of the best tours of our trip.

Good Tour

Robert_H, May 2025

Very good overview of Copenhagen. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative and our driver also quite capable.

Copenhagen at our pace

Susan_B, Sep 2024

Andres was an excellent guide. His enthusiasm and vast knowledge made Copenhagen come alive. The private car let us proceed at our own pace which made the trip very enjoyable.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Susan, We're so happy you enjoyed your day in Copenhagen! We feel lucky we could be part of your day and could share the best of the city with you! Warm regards, Magda Vexperio
