Great tour for family - Me and my family really enjoyed this tour. The other part of our group, that was meant to be on the tour, canceled out, since it was just the 3 of us, we really appreciate, that Ophelia Tours did not cancel our trip altogether. We’d like to thank our guide Benji, as he put a great smile on all of our faces. His humor and enthusiasm in explaining really added to our experience. We are so happy that we got to see the beautiful views of the castles and cathedrals. Benji was an amazing story teller and was so passionate about Danish history and we learned so much from him. All the stops on the tour were so worth visiting. The cafe that Benji recommended to us was very good, the food and the service was great, and the price was reasonable. I would highly recommend Ophelia Tours as it was a delightful experience for us, so if you are looking for guided tours in Copenhagen, choose them.

A trip I won’t forget. - We enjoyed our day out with our tour guide Rene. He was professionally enlightening while being entertaining. He guided us through the history’s of the sites we went to, with lots of details being told. Personally my favorite site was the Kronborg castle. Rene had a clear storyline about the history of the danish kings. The other three sites were also worth seeing. Moreover, the cafe Rene organized was spectacular, with a 10% discount included. Food was amazing with a short wait time. This trip was definitely worth it, and I would recommend going on Ophelia tours. Thank you Rene!

Excellent day out to see culture, opulence and history - It was a casual well paced day. We saw a range of different places and amazing buildings. Benji, our guide was awesome. He was funny and would speak up when needed and explain particular detail that you’d miss otherwise.

Book It! You Won't Regret It!!! - So worthwhile! Shoot, just Benji's stories and explanations are worth the fare--I'm a consummate reader of signage, but wouldn't have gleaned near so much without his guidance. These far-flung attractions would be difficult to cobble together without private transportation and the time at each was just about right--although it left me wanting more! Particularly the Viking Ship Museum (our last stop of the day)!

Great History Experience - We enjoyed our tour and Benji, our tour guide, was a wealth of information which made the tour come alive. We particularly liked that the tour group size was under 15 people! An added plus was that given our hotel location in central Copenhagen we could be picked up and dropped off at the hotel, and the transportation vehicle was very comfortable. Given the smaller size of the group you could really be able to engage with Benji and get any question addressed. Thanks again for a memorable experience
