Thomas’ knowledge, humor and relaxed demeanor made a packed day very enjoyable. He took us to a history class of the Danish monarchy!
Amazing

Thomas was my guide, and the tour was absolutely AMAZING. We managed to achieve and see so much in such a short amount of time. Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable, and he made me think deeply about many of the things he shared. I even found myself Googling some of the topics afterward because they were so fascinating. The entire trip was truly interesting and enriching. We started in Roskilde, visiting the stunning cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum : both were fantastic. After that, we enjoyed a delicious lunch (at our own expense) with generous portions and great quality food. We then continued to the beautiful castle in Hillerød, and later visited Hamlet’s Castle, where Thomas shared captivating stories that brought the place to life. Thomas truly blew my mind with the depth of his knowledge. What made it even better was the way he delivered everything — with humor, passion, and great storytelling skills. Throughout the trip, he constantly checked in with us, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. You could really feel how much he cares about each person in the group. His passion and love for what he does are undeniable, and it made the experience even more special. Highly recommended!
A must do tour if you only have one day

Thomas gave us a great tour with fun stories and managed to help us see so much in one day. Definitely recommend if you only have one or two days in Copenhagen!!

We had the best day with Hamlet Tours. Sillas was an exceptional tour guide with so much historical knowledge. His humour was hilarious and we had many laughs. The 3 cities and sites we went to were stunning. Snow everywhere so it looked beautiful. Cannot recommend this tour enough. A must for first timers in Copenhagen. Thank you again Sillas for a great day!

On a very cold day, our guide, Silas, took very good care of my group and was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed seeing the different cities and sites outside of Copenhagen.
A perfect balance between travel time and sightseeing time,

Our guide Sillas was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. Was a real bonus being picked up from our hotel. This full day tour spent the perfect amount of time at each venue so the day went really quickly without feeling neither rushed or dragging on (although in fairness we did come in the middle of winter so maybe on a lovely summer day we might have appreciated more time outdoors). Travel time never exceeded 45 minutes between locations so the balance between travel and walking around the sites is bang on. The castles are incredible and well worth venturing out of the city to see, I think it would have been a shame to come all this way and not have seen them.
From Vikings to Royals in one day.

Highly recommend this tour. A well planned day which covered so much. Sillas was a great guide who clearly had a passion for Danish history and a great sense of humour. We were a family travelling with 3 generations ranging from 11 to 78 years old and there was something for everyone. Thanks Sillas for a great day…..now the kids can’t stop seeing C4 everywhere we go ☺️
Wonderful Day of Exploring

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.
