Had a great time visiting the 2 castles. Elizabeth was a great guide and gave us all fun interesting little stories about all the kings and assorted personalities. So much fun. The driver was also great and felt very safe and comfortable.

From Kronborg to Louisiana, and back to be Viking

Carmen_L, Jul 2025

Our 9-hour sojourn on July 16 visiting Kronborg Castle, Louisanna Museum and Viking Ship Meseum was such a rich and fulfilling experience seeing these gems of Denmark, yet almost effortless through the fantastic arrangement of Edgar, our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly, his amazing story-telling skills had brought life to the history and joy to his audience. We are also thankful to Jose, our driver for taking care of us on the road and being always impeccably on time to meet us after we finished a spot so we wasted no time to head to the next destination. A long day for us starting at 9am and finishing at 6pm, but an eye-opening and enjoyable experience to see 3 very different attractions of Denmark.

Frederick_C, Jul 2024

Edgar was the best guide and really spent time sharing his experience and knowledge with us on this great trip thru Denmark. This was our first full day in town and Edgar was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the sites and the history of Denmark. We enjoyed the day really appreciated the time he took to spend it with us and to help us learn more about the history of this beautiful country.

Brittany_H, Jun 2023

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the trip was great, we really enjoyed it! The guide and driver picked us up at our hotel at the agreed upon time and we spent about 2 hours at each castle which was really perfect. It never felt boring or rushed.
