Amazingp - I love this tour i would highly recommend benji was amazing and he gives you the things to do and a food place that gives you a discount. He was funny and gives you cold water. Sometimes he comes with you on your journey to give you fun facts and sometimes you can do it by yourself. He know exactly how much time you need there to see everything. YOU NEED TO DO THIS TOUR. It is amazing.

Excellent fun and informative!! - My husband and I had the best time with Ophelia tours. Benji was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about danish history while also being entertained. Pick up and drop off was seamless and the entire day was coordinated extremely well. We would have never been able to pack all this sightseeing in on our own in one day and to just show up and enjoy was so great. Thank you from the New Yorkers!!

Amazing Tour..!!!! - I recently took a castle palace and cathedral tour with Benji and Rene and it was an amazing experience. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the sites we visited.
Benji and Rene were also very friendly and engaging, making the tour not only informative but also enjoyable. They took the time to answer all of our questions and shared interesting anecdotes and stories that brought the history to life.
The tour itself was well-organized and the sites we visited were absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history and architecture. Thank you Benji and Rene for a fantastic day!
