The tour was the visit to Kronborg, Frederiksborg Castle and Roskilde It was a very well planned day, with a lot of historical information presented in a very pleasant and comprehensive way. Very nice 3 target destinations and magnificent views on the way. The time is of course very limited and schedule very strict.

This was a great tour - full day but perfect way to pack in a bunch of “must see” sights outside of Copenhagen. Very nice door-to- door pick and drop-off from individual hotel. Small van. Our guide today, Sillas, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and engaging. …Trust his recommendation to eat lunch at Cafe Valentin!!!
Excellent tour worth your time and money. 5 Stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed my "grand day trip" out of Copenhagen. We hit on some excellent sites, learned a ton from our stellar guide Thomas (knowledgeable, hilarious), and got to see some of the beautiful countryside. While 9 hours might seem long, the time flew by. The ride was comfortable, we didn't linger too long in any one place (our guide kept us together and on track), and had time for a lunch break at a midpoint. I highly recommend this tour -- it's worth your time and money to do something so unique in such an efficient manner. I'm grateful I got to do this on my visit to Denmark.

We travelled with our guide Sillas to see Roskilde Cathedral, the Viking Museum as well as Frederiksborg and Kronborg Castles. Each destination was amazing to see, though it felt we could easily have spent longer to properly absorb everything. Sillas as a guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, very friendly and accomodating. He clearly explained the plan at each location and gave some flexibility for those who wanted to wander on their own. Plus he had a wicked sense of humour! Thanks for a great day out Sillas and team.
Sillas was very good

Sillas did a great job today. Keep going as you are. I am a fan of Hamlet, so it was particularly interesting as well as seeing all the other historic palaces.
