Beautiful day tour outside of Copenhagen - This tour was a great way to see the outskirts of Copenhagen in a small group. I prefer small mini bus tours and this one did not disappoint. I appreciated Henrik's informative commentary as well as his willingness to take photos for me. As a solo traveler, it is much appreciated. The castles and cathedrals are amazing and a can't miss attraction!

Great way to see everything around Copenhagen, but not in Copenhagen itself. - Our Guide, Nicklaus ,was great. Small group tour with comfortable mini-buses. Don't plan on seeing any parts of Copenhagen itself. The tour is all outside of the city.

Greatcl way to learn about Danish history. - Our guide was very interesting with a great personality. It was nice to be in a smaller group so we didn't waste time waiting for people.
This I'd not a complaint, but we'd have also enjoyed driving past a few other famous sites in Copenhagen, but we realize that time was tight. Thank you.

Great tour as a taster visit to 4 amazing places - Great tour to get a taster visit of these 4 amazing places, but you do go at some speed and at each site I wanted to spend much longer there, especially The Viking Museum, where I could have happily spent the whole day.
Our tour guide was marvellous, knowledgeable and helpful on how to get the most from each visit. I would definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to these places, but maybe with a view to return to your favourite at a later date. A tip - wear a good pair of walking shoes as you’re going to need them!

Copenhagen highlights - What a wonderful experience visiting the highlights of Copenhagen. It was a journet into Danish history from pirates, vikings and present day monarchy. Our guide, Thomas, gave information that expanded all those years. We saw Kronborg Castle, Frederiksborg Castle, and the winter and summer castle of the present monarchy. A surprise treat was seeing changing of the guards at the summer castle. The scenery was beautiful and Thomas had many stories to tell at each location. Christian the fourth really forced his name on so much!! The lunch spot was superb and it was a great day!

Grand day tour of Copenhagen - We had a bus driver - not a tour guide. We thought the tour was around Copenhagen- it is all away from Copenhagen and our guide had very little knowledge. Read any info he gave us
