Great tour in Copenhagen - Rene did an amazing job with the tour and guiding at the different locations. There was so much to see and cover yet he kept us moving along so we could have time at all the locations. We were lucky enough to be at the castle when the compenius organ was played. It was a great time and I would recommend taking a tour with them.

A great day of hassle-free sightseeing! - Benji was our tour guide and he did a great job. He was knowledgable, patient, answered all question and narrated his stories with a sense of humor. He was a careful driver who gave clear instruction for pickup and drop off points and was on time the whole day. And of course the four stops were all fabulous and worthwhile.
