Overview

9 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This full-day tour not only provides a journey to two castles, one of which is listed on the UNESCO Heritage list, and a cathedral, also on the UNESCO Heritage list, from May to September it also includes a visit to a dynamic Viking Ship museum.
Your English-speaking driver will guide you to Kronborg Castle and Roskilde's Cathedral, providing info-tainment— a delightful mix of facts presented in an easy-going manner, with a twinkle in the eyes of our excellent driver and guide.
The narrative strikes a balance, offering just enough facts without overwhelming you with years, kings, and wars, and coupled with a touch of humor and fun.
No need for cardio exercise on this day. 10000 steps is reached before the end of the day, and you will have walked up spiral staircases in medieval castles, crossed cobblestone-covered street
The tour offers also a lot of fresh air and a taste of the Danish weather. So for clothing, do as the Danes say; There is no bad weather, just the wrong clothing!

5.00Congratulations to the guide, nice, engaging, explained all day, even while traveling. Beautiful places. Too bad we had also booked x the museum of Viking ships. But they weren't included in the Tour

5.00We had a wonderful time on our full day tour with Ophelia Tours in January 2026. The tour bus is very comfortable and our tour guide Kenneth was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learnt a lot about Danish culture and history and saw the beautiful countryside, all in one day!
Learned a lot!

5.00There is a lot of walking and lots of steps. And to be fair, they tell you that when you look at the information. Simon was an excellent guide! He made the day so interesting and informative.
Canceled the tour because...

1.00Canceled the tour because there was not enough people. Then rescheduled the tour and there was no van at the starting location. No communication availability.
Excellent day tour outside of Copenhagen

5.00A winner! Simon was a great guide—informative, engaging and funny. We learned a ton about Danish history and culture. And saw a bunch of sights that would have been hard to see in a day if we’d been on our own. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Ask for Simon!
