Hmm...we can’t seem to find this place. Please check the spelling, or choose another location.

This activity will end right where it started.We offer a hotel pickup from most hotels in the centre of Copenhagen. We will pick you up 30-50 minutes before the tour starts.

You are very welcome to contact us to inquire about specific hotels. Your bus for the day is a plain white mini-bus. If you have any doubts regarding your pickup please feel free to call the tour operator, Hamlet Tours, at +4530700667. PLEASE NOTE: The tour will involve a lot of walking and steep stairs.

A very good and interesting tour. Robert gave us many interesting facts not only about the sites we visited but also about the history of Denmark and current events and statistics about Denmark. Pickup at our hotel went smoothly and was very easy. Also the cafe valentin recommended had very tasty food. Strongly recommend this tour.

I'd love to give this company a great review, but unfortunately we did not get to experience the tour, and are out over $400 in addition. Due to extreme weather conditions, we had a canceled and then a delayed flight that led us to miss an entire day in copenhagen, including the tour we prepaid for. We called them as soon as we landed, a couple hours into our scheduled tour, to let them know what happened. They sounded friendly and let us know they would reschedule us on a different day where they had space. Then I received an email stating they would actually reschedule us if we paid the full 400 something dollars again, for a total of $900. I replied that they made it sound like they were being kind and letting us do another day for the original payment. Got nowhere with them, and they wouldn't help us at all. Just a pay again or don't go reply. We of course can't afford to pay that much again. This trip is to celebrate my son's 9th birthday and the handling if this problem has left us all feeling pretty down. Would definitely not book with them because they will be completely unaccomodating if any issues out of your control should arise.

Let's imagine the opposite situation that a delay on our tour caused you to miss your flight. Would you also have expected the airline to give you new free plane tickets for another day even if it was stated very clearly in the terms and conditions of your flight that you had to show up at departure time to get on it? If you do not show up for the tour your money is lost. That is the standard terms and conditions for tours on Viator and they are stated very clearly when you book. You can cancel the tour up to 24 hours before it starts and get all your money back. But you can not write us after the tour and get new tickets if you missed it. This is not because we are bad people but because there is a limited number of seats on the tour. We booked two for you that we could have sold to other customers. We have to get paid for them in order to pay our expenses.

There was so much to see and we were forever on time restraints. And then the must important thing we wanted to see - the Viking boat museum we had 15 minutes. because museum was closing. Disappointing

We are sorry that you have had that little time at the Viking Ship Museum. Normally, it is 45-50 minutes which most people think is enough to see the five ships. 15 minutes is certainly too little and we apologise for that.

okay tour, plenty rooms to improve

The good things are: 1. the tour guide robert was very nice. 2. the car was very nice and well equiped. However, there are two things that we were not satisfied with are: 1. the pickup time is early and it was only informed by email, which was hard to keep an eye during the vacation, the notification should be done by phone call or at least text, and because of the early pickup, we didnt have time for breakfast and the entire schedule was delayed 15mins; 2. the time for each tour site was not enough. two castles and the viking place needed more time. A little recommendation: 1. about the history of denmark, such as three dynasties, rivals with other countries, rumors of those kings, could be depicited on the way there. 2. could add some local traditions explainations or teach some easy danish words such as hello and thank you to give us more immersive experience.

What amazing castles we visited. Our guide Thomas was excellent and our driver Frank was so knowledgeable he to could have been our tour guide. They both were a great team and provided great information that made the castles history come alive. We would have never gotten a full understanding and appreciation about Denmark if we didn’t take this tour. Thanks again Thomas and Frank.
