  • 5Beyond awesome - a MUST tour.

    We can't say enough about how Thomas our guide made this trip memorable. The Danes have a fascinating history narrated by Thomas in an interesting & sometimes humorous way. Our first stop at the Roskilde Cathedral & visit to the Viking Museum set us up for a great and fun rest of our day. We journeyed on to tour Fredericksburg Castle. As our fuinale, a narrated walk through the outside and interior of Kronborg Castle. The sites are well chosen for their history and magnificent grounds. The 9 hour investment in time is well worth it. The van is tight but comfortable. If possible, request Thomas as your tour guide.

  • 5Well worth a day!

    This is a must-do tour when visiting Copenhagen. Our tour guide Thomas was incredible! He was not only very knowledgeable an about the sights, but also witty and interesting and went above and beyond. After the tour, he secured a dinner reservation for us and provided a list of restaurants and places to see for the rest of our stay in Copenhagen. I highly recommend!

  • 5Wonderful Tour of Danish History

    We had a great day touring the countryside with Tomas, seeing the key must-see sites around Copenhagen. He was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and with a great sense of humour. Very enjoyable!

  • 5Grand value trip

    It was great amount of time to explore some great sites in Denmark if you are here for a shorter amount of time. The cost was great since the admission fee for all of the locations would’ve been more to purchase individually. Brian was also super great and provided a balanced recounting of history and some fun facts.

About Copenhagen

Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.

Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.

Top-ranked sights in Copenhagen: Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot), Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace.
