Full description

Enjoy a scenic sightseeing tour of North Sealand on an 8.5-hour excursion from Copenhagen, and visit the royal monuments of Kronborg Castle and Frederiksborg Castle and the World Heritage site of Roskilde Cathedral. Ideal for those who want to explore further than the city center to see as much as possible of historic Denmark, but are short of time, you will travel in a small group for a more personalized experience. The tour includes time to explore the imposing exteriors and interiors of Frederiksborg and Kronborg castles, the latter set on the banks of the Sund between Denmark and Sweden, and most notable as the site of Elsinore in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

Soak up the romantic setting of Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, surrounded by a beautiful lake and gardens. The guide will take you to Roskilde to visit Roskilde Cathedral, the burial site of 39 Danish kings and queens, including Ingrid of Sweden, spouse of Denmark’s Frederick IX, father of the current Queen Margrethe II. The last stop on your tour will be the Viking Ship Museum to see rebuilt models and excavated ships from the days when the Vikings rampaged their way - and conquered - much of Western Europe and the North Atlantic. Please note, that between November and March and most of April, the tour does not include a visit to the Cathedral's interior but rather a walk around the impressive structure and an introduction to the Cathedral's place in history.

This is a great option for those with limited time in the city. It was nice to be picked up in front of the hotel and then dropped back off. It was convenient to have all admittance tickets included as well. The cathedral, castles and Viking museum were nice and time management was handled nicely. If you think you may want an in-depth look at Frederiksborg Castle, you might consider grabbing a snack rather than spending time for a sit-down lunch - but the cafe offered for the lunch option was good.

Our family of three had a very enjoyable day with our guide Nick. The pacing was good, the transportation comfortable and the guide very informative. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing way to get outside of the city and learn more about the history of Denmark.

Chris was an excellent guide. I liked how he gave a timeline on how the day was structured and how much guided and free time allocated to browse and shop at each place. He was very informative and enjoyed his sense of humor. I would have liked to have additional time at Federiksborg since there was a lot more to see. We had a fun group and great weather making the tour even more enjoyable.
