A terrific way to see the castles of the area. Nice tour bus with an extremely knowledgeable guide!
-
Wonderful tour of the Kronborg and Frederiksborg Castles, our guide was very knowledgeable. We had a very nice bus drive along the coast and even left the route to explore other sites. By saying that, I thought we were rushed along to fast not giving us any shopping time for souvenirs. Also, the sandwich we bought was not worth what you paid for it.
-
A lovely tour with very informative guide and driver. My only minor criticism is that we were quite pressured for time at our two main castles and wonder whether the tour should have started a little earlier
-
The tour, our guide and the driver were perfect! The tour did not miss a beat and we covered so much and so much territory. This was one of the best Viator Tours that I have been on. Without our guide we would have missed out on so much history, tradition and customs over the ages.

Awesome tour, beat way to see all the castles and the scenery was beautiful.
-
A perfect tour a perfect day loved seeing the countryside of Denmark as well as the castles!!!!!!

I had been to Hamlet Kronberg castle before and found this tour to be much less informative than the first one. The tourguide in 2006 gave intricate detail of the castle, including different spots in the castle that reflected scenes from the play. This tourguide gave a perfunctory explanation and was not able to answer questions. In fact, he seemed not rude, but curt, and got the deer-in-the-headlights look when asked questions. Same at the Fredericksburg castle. Maybe this would have been a better experience with a better guide. The castles themselves are very interesting.

Need to spend more time at Hamlets Castle. Was very rushed and only saw a portion. Start earlier.
-
Quite an enjoyable trip. Lots of material for the history buff.
-
This was an interesting tour and is recommended. However, beware, because the location meeting spot is NOT the same as what is printed on the voucher. We had to ask several locals where to meet, and by luck, we found it.
