5.00Spent 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.
Overpriced

2.00Hugely 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 this tour

2.00Viator 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.
Great guide

4.00Pleasant 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.
Perfect Viking day
