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.

Kenneth was the absolute best tour guide I’ve had in a very long time. Smart and witty and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour itself was fantastic, I didn’t felt rushed. Got to see all of the best things in each of the places and even had time to stop and relax for lunch. That was a good break in between everything we were doing. You won’t regret booking this tour!

Overview

With this chilled-out, small-group tour from Copenhagen, you get an unhurried look at Kronborg Castle and Frederiksborg Palace, all while your guide shares the stories behind the sights that you don’t get from the average brochure.

  • Ideal for those who use canes or walking frames to get around

Easier than on your own

Sheila_S, Jul 2026
Flemming was fabulous! He was funny and respectful. Lots of interesting information. Umbrellas could be borrowed. Provided water bottles on board. It was nice to be picked up at our hotel on time. Dropped off on time. He pointed out bathrooms, coffee, and food opportunities. He suggests an itinerary to well manage your time but you are on your own to do what you want a good portion of the time. He gave us every opportunity to see as much as possible. Great tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Timing, plenty of freedom, and keeping everyone happy (and dry!) is exactly what we aim for, Will be letting Flemming know about the great job he did , Thanks for the review!

Lovely day away from Copenhagen

Vanessa_M, May 2026
Our tour guide, Flemming, provided insightful information on Denmark and Danish culture on the drive to both castles we visited. It is clear that he loves his job and interacting with tourists. What a lovely day away from Copenhagen!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the nice feedback! Getting out of the city to visit the castles is always a great experience, and we're happy that Flemming made the journey insightful and engaging for you. Connecting with our guests is exactly what we love to do. We appreciate your support and hope you will enjoy the rest of your time in Denmark!

Long day but very...

Gene_W, May 2026
Long day but very informative. We were able to take the longer tour which included some extra stops. Very informative. Our driver/ tour guide was terrific. Very enthusiastic about the various sites, and knowledgeable. He seemed to get energy from his work.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you kindly for the review! We’re happy you enjoyed the extended itinerary and the extra stops. I will gladly pass your kind words along to your guide and it's fantastic to hear that his enthusiasm made your day special.

A lovely way to explore Denmark’s castles and history.

Carol_S, May 2026
A relaxing informative day. Our guide, Fleming, shared great information but didn’t go too deep on any one subject.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you kindly for the review! We are glad to hear that you had a nice and informative day. It is great to know that Flemming’s approach hit the right note for you. We aim to provide an overview of the history and sites without making the day feel like a lecture, so I’m glad he found that balance and kept the experience enjoyable.

Very interesting,...

Serra_T, Sep 2025
Very interesting, informative tour! Our guide Renee was a wealth of knowledge, very nice and funny. I preferred Kronborg Castle when he was with us and teaching us and would have loved if he walked around with us at Fredericksborg, could have been an hour shorter on our own... Def recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you kindly for the feedback! It's understandable that you wished Renes presence at Frederiksborg Castle as well, but the strict drivers rest regulation means it’s not possible to guide at Fredericksburg. Thank you for your comments, it will be taken up for revision. Your recommendation is an endorsement for Rene and the tour. We're glad you enjoyed your experience!

Wonderful Day

Eileen_A, Aug 2025
Simon stayed on schedule and we had a reasonable amount of time at each of the four spots. He was knowledgeable and considerate. And the castle, palace and Viking boats were wonderful. We even had sunshine at the fjord.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

What a great review! It sounds like you had a truly memorable day with Simon, and it's wonderful to hear that he kept everything running smoothly while still allowing you enough time to explore each location. It’s always bonus that the weather cooperated, giving you sunshine at the fjord! Thank you for sharing your experience.

Kathryn_B, Jul 2025
This was an absolutely perfect way to see two fantastic castles. Our tour guide was informative, funny, and responsible the whole time. He took the group and our needs into consideration. I loved having him tour us around Kronborg Castle. The information he gave on the bus was historical and very relevant to our two stops.

Very good tour

Diana_W, Jul 2025
The easy tour I had booked was cancelled, so I was upgraded to another tour that had more stops. Our guide was very informative and personable. The weather was awful, but he paced it so that we stayed out of the worst of the rain and wind. The tour covered a lot of history.

Such a great tour, no regrets on booking this tour. Our guide, Rene, has a wealth of information. We truly enjoyed his humor and knowledge of Denmark, The castle was fantastic. A great value for this tour too.

Truly an easy pace tour

Marcia_S, Sep 2024
What a delightful day with Rene. His knowledge of Danish history was a quick history lesson for us. It truly was easy pace and walking was minimized due to the convenient drop-off service. Valentin was an excellent spot for lunch. Rene was an attentive guide, easy to understand, and rather humorous!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We are happy to hear that you had such a delightful day with Rene! It sounds like he struck the perfect balance of history, convenience, and humor. We're particularly glad that the pace and walking were manageable, and that Valentin provided a delicious lunch spot. Thank kindly for sharing your experience.
