The day trip was excellent. The tour guide Per was excellent and his occasional wit and humour kept us interested. The weather wasn't very favorable on that day but still we managed to have a great time. I only had a day for sightseeing and this gave an excellent opportunity. Of course the stops were brief to fully enjoy but given the short time, I guess I made the most of it. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is short on time and wants a value outing in Denmark/Sweden.

Really good insight in the maritim history of the city and the Kronborg castle. Good to get info about where to have a snack and about toilet possibilties along the tour.

Great experience with friends! The staff is lovely and speaks several languages. Great concept!

The driver was exceptional He made the trip amazing and fun

Thanks to Pia for both the safe journey and the guidance
