Guided day trip from Copenhagen to Sweden, with Kronborg ramparts, Helsingør free time, ferry views, Lund Cathedral, and Malmö shopping.

“This was such a great day trip - it was worth every penny. I love the punctuality and professionalism of the staff, the drivers and the guide. Our guide was Mario: super enthusiastic and more than accommodating to our needs. He was knowledgeable - giving us historical facts and trivia from the VERY start of the tour to the end of the tour. I recommend this to ANYONE needing a deep dive in Danish history while taking in all the sites away from the busy downtown.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,020 reviews · 8 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $211

Small-group castles and Vikings outside Copenhagen with hotel pickup, included entrances, and a Hamlet-focused guide at Kronborg.

“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,…”
