My best friend and I recently visited Copenhagen for 5 days. We found this tour via Get Your Guide and we would totally recommend it. A great opportunity to see more of Denmark, as well as to hop over to Sweden and explore here as well. The tour is a good balance of an audio guide (on the bus) and independent free time to explore at each location. Good earphones and bottles of water are provided as part of the tour. We had Mario who was a great guide.

This was our first full day in Denmark. The Coach was on time and we were greeted in a friendly manner. The guides were very informative and professional. We had commentary throughout the trip. Meeting points and timings were clear. Despite the wet weather, which restricted our view some what ,we enjoyed our trip immense. We thoroughly recommend this trip.

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, organised and with a great sense of humour. A great balance was struck between the guided aspects and those times when we were free to roam. The sites were beautiful and incredibly interesting, with just enough time at each to absorb the atmosphere. Highly, highly recommended.

The tourguide and the driver so nice peoples..they are so updated .and the place we're we go..both nice.only the problem is when rain is come we can't do anything Denmark is a nice place...lots of history places.

This day trip is a lovely way to learn more about Copenhagen, Denmark and the history between Sweden and Denmark. Our guide Chrispen was excellent and we had a really great day
