Great tour to get two countries into one day! The tour guide, Alan, was fantastic…welcoming, informative, helpful, and energetic. He was able to make a quick stop on the ride back to rendezvous point to allow us to get off at our hotel which was so helpful. Like other reviews, we wished there was more time at Helsingør and Lund and probably skip the stop in Malmö and just pass through with talking highlights. There’s definitely more interesting and charming sites in Lund and we didn’t get to walk the city of Helsingør after touring Kronborg castle as there just wasn’t enough time. However, even with that, this tour is DEFINITELY worth the money and time. The narrative during the bus drive was extremely informative and Alan interjected as needed…such interesting history and views! And all the recommended stops for food, bathrooms, etc were spot on!
Maria_K, May 2026
Full experience! Very well organised and full of information! Our guide didn’t stop explaining the sites and surroundings and was very patient and kind. Definitely it is worth to do when visiting Copenhagen!
Mita_C, May 2026
We saw a lot of unique places including the “Hamlet Castle” in Denmark, and two towns in Sweden - Lund and Malmo. Andy our Driver and guide was very knowledgeable, kind and made the trip a pleasurable experience. We would highly recommend this trip!
Susan_S, Apr 2026
While it was a long day, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful towns we visited and the history we experienced. Our guide, Mario, was exceptional and supplemented the recorded information with interesting facts and stories. He was extra careful in taking care of us seniors, and we appreciated his concern.
I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see this part of two countries.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the full day and the beautiful towns along the way. Mario will be especially happy to know his stories, care, and attention made the experience comfortable and memorable for you.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and are glad the tour delivered a meaningful look at both countries.

Steen was an exceptional tour guide with a great sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed all of the sites and the ferry ride. The meatballs at The Grand Hotel in Lund were delicious. Highly recommend this trip.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you had an amazing day and that Steen’s humor and knowledge made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s great to know you loved the sites, the ferry ride, and even the delicious meatballs in Lund.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon.
Kent_J, Apr 2026
After some confusion on where to meet the tour started of wonderful and there is a lot to see. I believe the time spent in Malmo could have been reduced and extended to other stops. The main goal for us was to see 2 countries in one day which was achieved and the audio portion of the bus ride was very knowledgeable.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall and found the sights and audio commentary informative. We appreciate your feedback on the timing in Malmö and will keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience. We’re happy the tour delivered on your goal of seeing two countries in one day.

Mario was great and did a great job of helping answering questions. Having the water bottles for us all and letting us know where to find the best shops and bathrooms!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that Mario took great care of your group and made the day smooth with helpful tips, answers, and even water bottles along the way.

It’s a long day but the trip was loaded with lots of information. The best part was Hamlets Castle
I do wish we had a little more time there so you could explore the castle and the town. You kind of have to choose between the two. Helsingor was by far the best of the 3 towns.
We did eat meatballs at the Grand Hotel in Lund and they were exceptional, but doing that and seeing the cathedral were the only 2 things we had time to do.
In my opinion Malmo was the least interesting of the 3 places we visited. You need to do your homework before the trip and know what you want to do at each stop because there isn’t time to see much. The ferry ride was really cool.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the day, especially Hamlet’s Castle and the ferry ride. With a full two‑country itinerary, time can feel tight, so we appreciate your helpful tips for future travelers. We’re happy you enjoyed Helsingør and your stop in Lund as well.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again.
Vanessa_N, Apr 2026
Excellent organisation, communication and itinerary. Crispin and the driver were welcoming and knowledgeable. Rather than just going to Malmo by train or bus from Copenhagen it is worth the time and money venturing a little further afield which this trip does. A beautiful drive along the coast road to Helsingor. We had fantastic weather the whole day, the ferry to Sweden and ride over the bridge back were excellent. Rest stops for food and drinks for food were perfectly timed. Photo stops aplenty in Helsingor, Lund, Malmo and the Øresund Bridge. We would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear the day felt so well organized and welcoming, and that the itinerary, coastal drive, and perfect weather all came together to create such a memorable experience. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the ferry crossing, the bridge ride, the photo stops, and the balance of guidance and free time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are delighted the three of you had such a perfect day.
Warm regards,

Gurunathan_S, Apr 2026
Pick up from hotel was on time and all necessary details were sent in advance. Sten, our guide was very informative and provided many interesting facts and details.
Time at Kornburg was short and could have given 15 - 20 minutes more. The confusion ticketing at kornburg where the staff at gates unaware of ticketing office at entrance being closed did not help. Tips from experience: book tickets online to save time. 15 minutes intro by guides highly recommended to get backdrop of castle.
Lund and Malmo went well. Overall highly recommended.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear your pickup and communication went smoothly and that Sten’s knowledge added so much to your day. We appreciate your feedback about the timing at Kronborg and the ticketing confusion and will keep this in mind. It’s great to know you enjoyed Lund and Malmö and would recommend the tour overall.

jona_e, Mar 2026
Overall, the tour was enjoyable and informative. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but at times the pace felt a bit rushed, especially at the more popular stops. A little more time for photos or questions would have made the experience even better. Still, a solid tour and worth the experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

You do have time for eating at the stops, but to maximize your sightseeing time it’s better to bring snacks or otherwise plan for “on the run” eating.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your helpful feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your practical tip about bringing snacks to make the most of your sightseeing time. We’re happy you joined us and hope to welcome you again.
Carolyn_T, Mar 2026
It’s a full day. Unfortunately we were met with a thick fog so the morning looked quite miserable. At just the right moment the fog lifted and the sun came out giving us some great photos of Hamlets Castle both in fog and sunlight.
Our one disappointment was there was not enough time to photograph the bridge properly.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the day despite the foggy start—and that it rewarded you with some unique photos of Hamlet’s Castle. We appreciate your feedback about the bridge stop as well. Thank you for joining us on the tour!
Heidi_J, Mar 2026
Steen was wonderful. Very kind, funny, and informative. This is a great tour if you have roughly 9am - 630pm and really want to see the sights and not make all of the arrangements yourself. Our group had ages 16-73 and we all had fun.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great day and that Steen’s kindness, humor, and insights made the experience enjoyable for everyone in your group. It’s a full day of sightseeing, and we’re glad it was fun for all ages. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you again.
Danilo_L, Mar 2026
The tour is nice and overall a good experience. I understand that when the group is large, there’s a need to follow certain rules. However, a tour is meant to be a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and the guide was a bit too methodical, which made parts of the tour feel somewhat boring. Enforcing rules too strictly can sometimes take away from the fun. That said, it’s still a nice tour overall, and I would recommend it.

Me and my husband had a wonderful time on the day trip! We felt like we had the perfect amount of time for all the stops. The castle was super foggy when we went but other than that the trip was perfect ! Our driver was funny & very knowledgeable about all the stops. Would definitely recommend !

This tour was amazing. I truly appreciated our guide’s humor, but more importantly, the audio guide throughout. All the stops were lovely, with great suggestions and discounts at certain places. A really great way to see a glimpse of Sweden on a short stay in Denmark. Pick up and drop offs were great (and amendable if needed.) Absolutely recommend.

Sidenote: it's a bit of a walk from the bus to Hamlets castle. This may be an issue for elderly people or those with mobility issues.
