Enjoyable experience with lots of free time. Good if you want something to take you to cool spots and let you hang there for a while (but not too long). A great day in Denmark and Sweden!
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Amazing tour. The host was informative and enjoyable. A full day tour with a wealth of knowledge and destinations as well as a lot of free time to explore! Plus in a convenient pick/drop location! I would recommend

Trevor_E, Sep 2026
We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, the communication was clear, and the experience itself was exactly what we were hoping for. Our guide (Mario) was knowledgeable, personable, and made the day genuinely enjoyable rather than just feeling like a standard tour. We learned a lot, had plenty of laughs, and never felt rushed. I would absolutely recommend this experience to other travelers and would happily book with this company again.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Wonderful experience seeing the castle. Enjoyed visiting the Lund Cathedral. Malmo was nice but rainy . The Oresund bridge was distinct even in the rain and fog. Enjoyable day. Would recommend it.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Wonderful to hear you enjoyed all three cities — Kronborg Castle, Lund Cathedral, and Malmö — even with a bit of rain. The Øresund Bridge views in fog are definitely unique. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.

Epic day stopping and checking out some great towns in Sweden and the Hamlet Castle in Denmark. By Ferry to get to Sweden then back via the bridge and tunnel.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Steen and his colleague did an exceptional job of narrating as we went along. Excellent knowledge and enthusiasm made an 11 hour day pass well. The sites we visited plus the pre-prepared information for each site made it a total pleasure and a trip I would recommend to anybody
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Wonderful to hear Steen and his colleague made the long day engaging with their knowledge and enthusiasm. Glad the sites and prepared information added to the experience. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Patricia_C, Aug 2026
We had a perfect day, mostly sunny and warm but there was a shower so come prepared for Denmark changeable weather. Lots of stairs in Hamlet's castle. The day was busy with 1 or 1 1/2 hours stops. Good audio narration with history and architecture information. comfortable large bus. IT arrive 45 minutes early to the hotel so be ready to jump on .Driver was excellent: driving, additional commentary, helped infirm visitors get on and off bus, very pleasant, lots of advice about lunch stops.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Great to hear you had a perfect day visiting Kronborg and the Swedish towns, and that the driver’s commentary, help, and advice made everything smooth. Glad the bus, audio, and pacing worked well too. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.
Sterling_H, Aug 2026
Just wow. We were picked up at our hotel in a modern, well-appointed coach for this tour. Our driver supplemented the audio guide with plenty of extra information along the route. We had plenty of time to visit historic sites, shop, and even grab a meal or snack. We learned so much about the history and interaction of these two countries that we would otherwise never have known. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Wonderful to hear the day felt smooth, informative, and full of great stops — from history to shopping to grabbing a bite. Glad the guide’s extra insights along the way helped you learn so much about Denmark and Sweden. We truly appreciate the high recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
MuhammedSayeed_N, Aug 2026
An amazing experience from start to finish. The tour was well planned, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable, but what really made it stand out was our guide, Mario. He was impeccable; knowledgeable, engaging, funny and clearly passionate about what he does. He managed to make the history interesting without ever making it feel like a lecture, and kept the whole group engaged throughout the day. Easily one of the best guided tours I’ve done. Highly recommended, and if you get Mario as your guide, even better.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Fantastic to hear the whole experience felt smooth, engaging, and well‑planned — and even better that Mario made such a strong impression. His mix of knowledge, humor, and passion truly brings the history to life without ever feeling heavy. We’re thrilled he kept the group engaged all day and made the tour stand out as one of your best. We really appreciate the high recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Kris_R, Aug 2026
Steen was so full of history and local knowledge. He really enjoyed sharing with us information about the different stops we made: What to go see, where to eat, clean bathrooms. He gave us the information in a way that I remembered it well enough to it share with my husband and friends! Thats a win!!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. Wonderful to hear Steen made the day memorable with his knowledge and helpful tips at each stop. Glad his way of sharing information stuck with you — that’s definitely a win. Hope to welcome you again soon.

Great day trip, excellent driver and tour guide.
The only downside was the 3 women who talked continuously through the commentary.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the day and that you found both the driver and guide excellent.
We’re sorry to hear that some guests were talking during the commentary — thank you for letting us know. We’ll keep this in mind for future tours.
Gina_R, Aug 2026
Very fun and interesting tour. The bus was comfortable and we were given plenty of time to explore at the stops. There was good recorded information and the guide chimed in to give live information as well. They provided bottle water about half way through the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, found it fun and interesting, and that both the recorded and live hosting worked well for you.

The tour is rushed in each stop. Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience
Unfortunately, our experience with this excursion was very disappointing. Our group arrived only about five minutes late, and the tour guide repeatedly called us out and embarrassed us in front of the other guests. Throughout the excursion, the guide continued to blame our group for missing the ferry. We understood that being late may have caused an inconvenience, but the issue could have been handled professionally and respectfully rather than repeatedly humiliating us.
The situation became even more uncomfortable on our way back to the bus. The driver handed us the brochures in a very rude and aggressive manner, forcefully pushing them into our hands and hitting our hands in the process.
We paid for this excursion expecting a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Instead, we were made to feel unwelcome and singled out. A professional tour company should know how to address delays or misunderstandings without embarrassing guests or treating them disrespectfully. Based on the way we were treated, I would not recommend this excursion.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
We would, however, like to clarify what happened, as we feel an important part of the situation is missing from the review.
All guests are clearly informed by both our host and driver of the exact time they need to be back at the bus, and the meeting time is also displayed on the bus.
In Helsingør, all guests returned to the bus on time except for your group. Our driver and host contacted you by phone, and we were told that you would be back within approximately two minutes. You arrived about 12–15 minutes after the scheduled departure time, which was a long wait for the other guests on the tour.
We understand that being addressed about the delay in front of the other passengers may have felt uncomfortable. We accept that this could have been handled more discreetly, and for that we sincerely apologize. Our driver's intention was not to embarrass anyone, but to explain the situation to the other passengers who had been waiting.
Unfortunately, the delay meant that we missed the scheduled ferry, resulting in everyone having to wait approximately 20–25 minutes for the next one. We understand that this can be frustrating for everyone, and we are sorry that the situation affected your experience.
At the same time, we hope you understand that our driver also has a responsibility towards the other guests who returned at the agreed time.
We believe the situation could have been handled better in terms of communication, and we are happy to acknowledge that. However, we also believe it is important to clarify that the missed ferry was a result of the late return to the bus, rather than the tour being planned too tightly.
We are sorry that you left the tour feeling unwelcome. That is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we appreciate your feedback as an opportunity for us to remind our team that how we communicate in a difficult situation is just as important as the message itself.

Great want to see Sweden if you only have a day. The cities were beautiful, bus comfortable and the driver and guide were great too
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Josh_L, Aug 2026
This was an excellent tour. The only negative was that it was a little warm at the back of the bus and we couldn’t hear the guide from back there. Other than that, it was great exploring three different cities.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. We’re glad you enjoyed exploring the three cities, and we appreciate your feedback about the bus temperature and audio — we’ll look into that. Happy to hear the rest of the day was a great experience, and we hope to welcome you again soon.
Matthew_O, Aug 2026
This is a wonderful, experience-packed day of many sights, filled with lots of history and encounters with great architecture. It covers a lot of ground in both Denmark and Sweden. Plus a ferry ride! Mustafa was an excellent and most congenial chauffer and guide. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for joining our Hamlet & Sweden Tour. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the full day of sights and history, and that Mustafa made the experience engaging and smooth from start to finish. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
Justin_G, Jul 2026
I am so glad we took this tour. It was a great way to see parts of Denmark outside of Copenhagen and great parts of Sweden that a normal traveler wouldn’t see just going to Stockholm. The tour was punctual, well planned, and devoted an appropriate amount of time to each location. We saw so much but the day didn’t seem needlessly long. This is a big bus tour. I am personally a fan because the price is fair and is less personal than a private tour. Our driver was an Englishman who was a great speaker and had plenty of interesting commentary. Our driver was great and very professional also. A highlight was surprisingly the ferry ride between Denmark and Sweden. It was probably the most memorable part of the trip. For each location, the tour company gave each guest a very nice pamphlet/booklet for reach location that we got to keep. I have never seen that on a trip like this before.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear the tour gave you a great look at both Denmark and Sweden beyond the usual routes, and that the pacing, planning, and commentary all hit the mark. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the booklets we provide at each stop. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon.
Sumit_O, Jul 2026

Michael_T, Jul 2026
A very good tour, able to see many interesting things, great value. Our tour guide/bus driver, Mustafa, was very friendly and considerate, and did a great job explaining the sites.
However, the seats on the bus were very cramped, with little legroom, so tall people, beware: it will be uncomfortable riding on the bus.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your review! Great to hear the tour delivered good value and that Mustapha was friendly and informative. Thanks for mentioning the bus seating — useful feedback.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Samantha_A, Jul 2026
Had a wonderful time! The bus was comfortable and our tour guide Mario was very knowledgeable. It was really nice stopping at so many places - many of which I would have never visited on my own.
I wish we could have had some more time at the Kronborg Castle but it was a long day so I understand why we didn't.
I'm really happy we went on this tour. We didn't have to worry about a thing.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you had such a fun day — comfortable bus, great guiding from Mario, and plenty of interesting stops you might not have found on your own. Kronborg is amazing, and we understand wishing for a bit more time there on a long day. Happy to hear the tour made everything easy and worry‑free.
linda_c, Jul 2026
