We took this tour in July 2026 and I’m just now getting around to writing the review. Thomas was our tour guide and he was fabulous. He’s very organized and efficient. He will give you step-by-step on how to be efficient so that way you make the best use of your time. He’s very enthusiastic and it shows that he loves what he does. This is a completely worthwhile tour. You get to see so much in one day that would take you a few days on your own. We are family of three with a four year-old. One of us would listen to the tour and the other one would run around with our toddler. We had requested to sit in the front of the bus because my son and I get motion sickness so they picked us up first which was very nice and accommodating of them. I remember it being a small group of 10 in a small van, and it was doable.

I had such a fun day on this tour! Thomas is an amazing tour guide, thank you so much for a great day. I highly recommend this tour!
Thomas is super knowledgeable and the MOST entertaining tour guide and this tour is an effective way of seeing the most impressive cathedral in Denmark, 2 beautiful castles and the Viking ships museum in 8 hrs.
Thomas was a fabulous tour guide I really enjoyed his knowledge of danish history and his sense of humour.. it’s a long day but one worth doing..
The tour was wonderful! The sites were great and Thomas was an amazing tour guide. Highly recommend to see the major sites around Copenhagen!
Thomas was a wonderful tour guide. We saw and experienced so much! The tour was managed at a perfect pace to see everything. This tour comprised 2 separate ship-offered excursions into one for less than half the price. Don't sleep on this one. Thanks, Thomas!
It was a fast pace tour that allowed us to see a bunch of cool things. Thomas was a very knowledgeable guide
Good tour around Copenhagen!
Do yourself a favour and spend an incredible day with the wonderfully friendly, always smiling Thomas! He is well versed about Danish history which he shares passionately throughout the day. This is a fantastic way to see the four sights outside of Copenhagen as a taste test - you could always go back to any of them yourself to suit your particular interest. 100% recommendation!
Covered a lot of ground and we were able to see everything except the Cathedral as it was closed for special event but Brian got is to 2 of the famous statues and the Palace guard changing at the Royal's summer home
Thomas is 110% tour guide! He knows history and tells a lot!
Thomas was truly fantastic! The historical knowledge which he imparted came out like a story, very easy to understand. The itinerary was well thought out and very well paced! His passion gave us joy for the whole day. Well done! Highly recommend.
This was a phenomenal way to see the area around Copenhagen and learn so much history-from the Vikings to the royals! Our guide, Thomas, was friendly, knowledgeable and so personable. A great way to spend our day in Denmark…
Thomas was so great!!! 12 points to him!
Well planned, enough time allowed to actually see the points of interest. Thomas was an excellent and knowledgeable guide.
Very nice and funny tour guide(Thomas) Much information but not boring said Would do it again
Bryan was knowledgable passionate about the history and funny. We couldn’t see the chapel or Rotskilde from inside, yet it was worth it.
This was a great day with so much to see. The van was comfortable, the tour guide was knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour.
This was a fantastic experience so much to see..Brian was so full of knowledge and helped everyone understand, he was respectful to everyone. It was definitely worth to money as you see so much.
The best thing was the tour guide Thomas .. He really made the difference.. the tour was exceptional
Very good value & Thomas the guide extremely knowledgeable & made the telling of his country’s history so interesting. Thomas was very considerate & allowed us plenty of time to cover the venues. I loved the day & so much more informed of Danish history.
Wonderful Day and we saw so many wonderful sites! Brian gave us so much information with a touch or humor!
We greatly enjoyed our tour with Thomas. The tour is fast paced and attraction packed and he kept it interesting and lively. He was attentive to the guests and even provided an excellent dinner recommendation for Pho Hanoi!
Thomas was brilliant! Such a joyful day with great knowledge and humour. Thanks!
We had the most wonderful time. Our guide Thomas was so knowledgeable and he gave us such interesting anecdotes about the history of Denmark. It was fascinating to listen to and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend this tour
Brian was an amazing tour guide! He made the tour both informative and entertaining, highlighting the most important details without overwhelming us with the incredible amount of history behind each place we visited. He also shared fascinating insights into Denmark’s history and that of its neighboring countries. His knowledge and engaging storytelling made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommend!
Thomas was a fantastic guide. His knowledge was vast and you could tell he had a passion for his job. There is no way you could visit all of these sites on your own and have a meaningful experience.
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.
Truly enjoyed the trip and the guide Thomas was very good
Thomas was a great guide. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The tour is a great journey through danish history. My wife and I had a great time.
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!
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.
We had a wonderful day with Thomas! He’s friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable about history, and did a fantastic job explaining everything to us. It would be difficult to visit all of these places on our own. He also recommended a great restaurant for us to go after the tour. We highly recommend Thomas and this tour!
Thanks Tomas, an excellent day. Amazing how much you managed to pack into one day, imparting so much information, whilst weaving it into a beautiful story. So impressive how you both drove the whole day and guided. Won’t forget about Maggie or Freddie or C4 (or now FX). Thanks for a great day.
Thomas was EXCELLENT!!!! The tour was lively informative and Thomas was easy on the ears - tons of information which is not available on a google search. Feel very fortunate to have booked this your with him as the guide.
Excellent tour! Fast paced with no wasted downtime. Sillas, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I would 100% recommend this tour.
Great tour around Copenhagen! Brian was a fantastic guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Brian, our guide, was a wealth of information. He was personable and fun yet missed no detail in sharing his knowledge. The sights were incredible and will give one a deeper understanding of how life must have been during that time. Keeping me informed of any changes was also appreciated. I would recommend this tour for a full day of “wow”. It was well worth it.
We did an outstanding excursion yesterday in Denmark. The tour visited 2 castles, a beautiful cathedral and the Viking museum. Thomas was our guide. He did an absolutely fantastic job. His knowledge of Danish history and culture made the locations come alive. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area and I would highly recommend Thomas as a guide! Great day. Corey.
This was an excellent and very comprehensive tour of Copenhagen. Jorn was a superb guide. Very professional and experienced and with so much information to share. He made the tour fun and interesting. The places we visited were amazing and captured the essence of Copenhagen across castles, palace and churches, and gave a real insight into the history and life of Copenhagen. I would thoroughly recommend the tour and Jorn as a brilliant, professional, and experienced tour guide for whom nothing was too much trouble.
We had an exceptional day with Thomas. His breath of knowledge of the Danish history is so impressive. Love his sense of humor. Every step we took was so enjoyable. Thomas, like King Frederick 2 and Queen Maggie 2, can do it all!
This is an exceptional tour of the highlights around Copenhagen for those who don’t have time to spend a half day in each location. It’s a long day, but doesn’t feel like too much and is a great complement to popular attractions within Copenhagen. Our tour guide Thomas shared really great information and was a natural story teller. I definitely recommend!
Andrew was our driver and guide. He is very knowledgeable and told us interesting facts and history of Denmark and the other nordic countries. We are well taken care of during our tour.
We had a great day, Thomas was our guide and driver he was very knowledgeable and engaging. We really enjoyed the entire day.
This is a great way to see a mix of fascinating sights just outside of Copenhagen. Especially on longer tours, the guide can make or break the experience. Thomas made ours memorable with a fantastic mix of history, literature, and culture, deftly delivered with humor, knowledge, and the perfect amount of salt. Everything from booking to communication to the tour itself was professional and solidly handled. Highly recommend as a tasting menu of one of my newly favorite cultures.
This tour was the perfect way to get a taste of Danish history. Our guide Thomas was highly informative, witty, and full of recommendations for our stay in Copenhagen. We really appreciated that he picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. 100% recommend.
Thomas!!!! It was a Great day Thank you
A great way to spend a day, Sillas was an amazing guide and made 9 hours fly in! Would highly recommended if you’re looking to see many of the sights.
Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. What a fabulous tour director. His knowledge of history was top notch and his passion for his country made the trip so special. The stops were so awe inspiring they really deserve a return trip. Book this tour and we hope you get lucky enough to get Thomas as your tour guide.
Our guide/driver Brian was great. He provided good commentary with a senses of humour. Good amount of time was spent at each stop. The castles were impressive
