Good way ro see these attractions, plus a short ride thru the countryside. Started on time, easy to find location. Flemming was our tour guy, made the trip enjoyable. Each stop had cafes, and Flemming also had water so no need to bring your own (nice touch). Shuttle van was excellent, clean, safe, and managable group of about 20 people. Would definitely recommend.

Flemming gave us a truly memorable, fascinating and fun day seeing Hamlet’s castle, and C4’s palace and the changing of the guards and the church where the Kings and Queens are buried! Additionally we visited real Viking ships that had been discovered! What a very full and enjoyable day that I highly recommend!!

We had a great day on our tour. Renee was wonderful, providing us with commentary and interesting tidbits while driving us to the various sights. The castles, cathedral and Viking ship museum were great. I think we were able to beat the crowds to all which made the experience even more pleasant. The van was clean and comfortable.

Angela_S, Jul 2026
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was amazing giving us facts and sharing Danish history stories throughout the entire tour. It was a packed agenda but great to visit so many wonderful places outside the city. The attractions to visit were amazing. I’d highly recommend this tour. It’s a long busy day, so plan for a quiet evening!

Kenneth was amazing!

Amanda_S, Jun 2026
Incredible day trip! Guide Kenneth was great, so knowledgeable about Denmark, its history, and the artifacts we saw, and funny as well! Clear and communicative about where/when to meet if necessary, very kind overall. Had a great time and learned so much! A bit expensive, but I think it was worth it, based on how many locations we visited and for Kenneth's commentary and tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

This is great to hear! We’re glad Kenneth kept things smooth, We put a lot of value into our trips, and we're so happy you felt it was worth it

Sally_E, Jun 2026
This tour is a great opportunity to get out of the city into Danish countryside to experience a variety of historic sights. All were really interesting. Fleming was a great tour guide, giving us the historical background during the drive then showing us the highlights of each site. He knew his material well but made it fun as well. Bus was comfortable. Water was provided. Ample opportunity restrooms and free time at each stop. We really enjoyed this day.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the review, We are glad you had a comfortable day and enjoyed the deep dive into Danish history with Flemming.

Interesting and informative tour - well worth doing

Joseph_G, Jun 2026
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Copenhagen. As soon as our guide, Fleming, picked us up, I knew it was going to be a day to remember. His positive energy and passion for his job are an ideal combination. He shared insightful information during the tours and was able to answer any questions we had. The sites themselves are also quite beautiful. Our favorite stop was Frederiksborg Castle with the Viking ship museum a close second. We saw a lot but never felt rushed. You have enough time at each stop to really appreciate them. Definitely worth taking this tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We are happy to hear that our tour is a highlight in your trip. Frederiksborg Castle is one of my favourite places too on my list, The Viking ship museum is also a classic in Denmark.

The rain possibility is very real, but you’re going to enjoy this trip no matter what. If you can ask for Fleming by name, I would highly recommend you do so. The entertainment value is off the charts and I learned more than I thought I would! Overall this is an impressive walk through time and worth every minute.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Rain or shine, the show goes on—but having Flemming definitely helps and we are very happy that he made your trip memorable. I’ll make sure he hears your praise (though his ego might require a larger bus next time!).😉🌞 Thanks for the recommendation and for diving into history with us, weather and all.

Kenneth was our tour...

Ring_L, May 2026
Kenneth was our tour leader and he was an absolute gem. Very knowledgeable about the history of Denmark and places we visited. Ever so accommodating to any request for information and/or special needs. Kenneth made it fun even though it was cold and rainy. If you choose this tour - I would recommend you taking it - but with Kenneth, I would highly recommend it. The only downside to the trip was the inability to reward Kenneth for his service to us despite 3 attempts using the scan code provided. I wished I would have done it at the drop off. Yes for us this gets our: 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the 5-star rating and for your highly recommendation! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Kenneth was such a gem, bringing the history of Denmark to life and keeping things fun and interesting despite the weather. Thank you also for letting us know about the issue with the scan code; we will look into that immediately to ensure it is working properly for future guests. Your kind words are a reward in themselves, and we will certainly pass them along to Kenneth.

Highly Recommended!

Selena_W, May 2026

Don’t miss this trip!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your great review! We are happy to hear that your tour was an enjoyable experience. I will be sure to share your kind words with Kenneth.
