Great tour, great guide - A wonderful tour of the Zealand sites outside of Copenhagen. The bus was comfortable which was essential for the 40-50 minute rides between each stop. It was our guide, Rene, who made this tour so successful. His narration along the way gave us a solid background on both what we were about to encounter at out stops but also provided a comprehensive history of Denmark, past and present, to give us a basic understanding of what these were all about. He was especially good at the specific sites for which he served as our guide (Roskilde Cathedral, Kronberg Castle). He had a great informative, yet humorous style. I strongly recommend this tour if you can spend an extra day outside of Copenhagen.

Great Day through the Environs of Copenhagen - All locations were wonderful in their own way. Driver/guide Renee was very knowledgeable and engaging. You could feel his his country. Tour would have benefited from audio earphone system.

Good tour - This tour was good! I enjoyed getting out of the city to see more sights. The castles and cathedral were all really nice to see and the place our guide suggested for lunch was great. I would’ve loved to spend more time at the Viking museum as it closed not long after we arrived but I was still glad about all we did see

Step outside Copenhagen - Rene was our tour guide and he did not disappoint. He put in a lot of hours researching for this tour. He did an outstanding job explaining the different places we visited. The only issue was we asked him to speak up. Other than that it was a full day of unexpected treasures outside of Copenhagen. Definitely worth the trip.

Great tour outside Copenhagen - Wonderful tour with Renee. As much as we like Copenhagen it was wonderful to get into the country for a day. His knowledge of the sites was impressive as were the sites. All drives were well under an hour between sites. Highly recommend.

Full Day trip - We very much enjoyed the tour. The castles are both beautiful. At Frederiksborg Castle, be sure to see chapel and the organ, stunning. The cathedral and Viking museums were both interesting. Rene was our guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Enjoyable day but a lot to see

Nice trip - It was nice trip and Renee was good guide. The viking ship museum and the hamlet castle are the best parts. If I could make one recommendation the Renesas castle while nice is the longest stop. Maybe less time there and more time at Vikings and Hamlet

Impatient guide and a lot of driving - We spent four or five hours in a minivan driving around and did not see very much at the sights. We would rather have gone to fewer sights and seen more of them than be rushed to four sights barely without a break. The guide (Benji) was very impatient and never left us any time to relax. It felt like work rather than vacation.
