Description
Castle, Palace, Cathedral and Viking ships Tour USD 162.38. This full-day tour not only provides a journey to two castles, one of which is listed on the UNESCO Heritage list, and a cathedral, also on the UNESCO Heritage list, but it also includes a visit to a dynamic Viking Ship museum.
Your English-speaking driver will guide you to Kronborg Castle and Roskilde’s Cathedral, providing info-tainment— a delightful mix of facts presented in an easy-going manner, with a twinkle in the eyes of our excellent driver and guide.
The narrative strikes a balance, offering just enough facts without overwhelming you with years, kings, and wars, coupled with a touch of humor and fun.
No need for cardio exercise on this day. 10000 steps is reached before the end of the day, and you will have walked up spiral staircases in medieval castles, crossed cobblestone-covered street
The tour offers also a lot of fresh air and a taste of the Danish weather. So for clothing, do as the Danes say; There is no bad weather, just the wrong clothing!.

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.

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.

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

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.

Renee was a fantastic tour guide. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see castles, a palace, and Viking ships. It was truly an amazing and magical experience. Please make sure you book with Ophelia Tours and get Renee as your guide. He was very knowledgeable about each location and spots along the way.

Highly recommend this tour. Rene was our driver and guide for the day and provided great commentary and information about Denmark and it’s history, as well as many points of interest on our trip. This comprehensive tour with Ophelia Tours was well worth the day out.

Our tour guide was superb. We had plenty of time at all the sites except the Viking Ship Museum, where we would have appreciated about 30 more minutes. We would encourage a little less time at the cathedral to make this happen. We REALLY appreciated the drop off at our hotel at the end of the day, since it was outside the city center. Thanks for a fantastic tour!

We enjoyed the tour with Rene immensely. I recommend this tour if you have only a short time in Denmark and you want to see as much as possible in Zealand – this hits all the highlights without feeling too rushed. We especially liked Kronborg Slot and the Viking Ships museum. Rene was an awesome tour guide friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting.

This tour was on a larger bus however there were only 12 people fortunately (sadly, some people still think they are more important and don’t come back on time). This can affect the time spent in other places. Pretty basic courtesy when travelling.
The driver was very friendly, informative and well organised, with lots of information passed on during time between places, The castles are interesting, the palace lovely, the cathedral is of note due to who is buried there and the Viking ship museum quite neat.
Overall, a very good day
