Maria was our guide on this tour. I want to congratulate you on Mary's wisdom. It is a true storyteller! We visited the Viking Museum but what surprised us was the Roskilde Cathedral. Considered a UNESCO heritage. Maria as well as the agency had the kindness to offer us the entrance tickets. Thank you, Maria. We recommend this tour to everyone.

Spent the day with Luis our tour guide and Baba our driver. Luis has a genuine love of travel and history and it was apparent in our conversations and on the tour. Luis is a terrific guide and is very knowledgeable about the Danish monarchy, the Roskilde cathedral, and the Viking ships. Very enjoyable day all around.

Hugely overpriced. Our guide was, indeed, knowledgeable, but the experience overall left us wondering why it's priced at nearly $500 per person. Our transportation was in a taxi with no commentary along the route as to what we were seeing (other than a highway). The two main tours -- the Roskilde cathedral and the viking village -- were fascinating, but given the cost of this tour, it should have also included free entry to the museum and a light meal or something. The tour was good; the price was not, especially compared to what we received in other Viator tours in Denmark that were fabulous, twice as long and half the price.

Viator lied about what this package includes. It says “As well as exploring exhibits, get out on the water and ride on a Viking ship.” That is a lie. I asked for a partial refund and was refused. Do not book this tour. Do not use Viator.

Pleasant and helpful guide spotless vehicle . Interesting content. Overpriced for 2 people could have been longer for the money . Poor communication from booking- had to be chased to confirm booking with less than 24 hours to go.

Paul and Inge took excellent care of us as we learned about Vikings. Paul’s knowledge was extensive, the vehicle was clean and spacious, and the stops were amazing and educational!

Transportation was very nice both ways. Guide was very knowledgeable. I got to spend time with some shipbuilders which was wonderful. I would say all in all it was wonderful day except I had the pay for all my entrance fees which was supposed to be included.

This was the best tour of our entire trip. Ulla was fabulous and Inga was a great driver. We had so much fun that day and Ulla was able to get us to take the ride on the Viking ship and tour the cathedral. I will always remember the wonderful day we had in Denmark!!
