About this tour

History isn’t just an essential introduction to your own country, ethnic heritage and ancestry. It’s also a valuable tool when it comes to understanding the cultural history of those who are different from us. This day-long tour is great for all people as it will open a door for you to explore further than the city center. The tours are organized in groups of a maximum 16 people for a more personalized experience. The itinerary includes a visit to the royal monuments of Kronborg Castle and Frederiksborg Castle and the World Heritage site of Roskilde Cathedral.

All guides are local academics with solid knowledge of the history as well as intricate details of the sites. 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. Recreate the days Vikings used to rampage their way – and conquered – much of Western Europe and the North Atlantic at the Viking Ship Museum. Do not miss this Royalty – World Heritage combo tour.

N/B: Some sites have steep stairs thus activity is not suitable for people with mobility impairments or wheelchair users.

I visited Roskilde, the Viking Ship Museum, Frederiksborg, and Kronberg on a full day small coach tour. Nick and Thomas were my tour guides and they were super. I was unable to stump them with a military, history, or culture question. They were knowledgeable, approachable, and engaging. We had 12 folks on the coach and we all felt fortunate to have such accomplished tour guides. Separately, the Get Your Guide staff was very helpful as my hotel was changed at a late date. Hotel pick-up went smoothly. The price I paid was fair and I felt that I received a terrific day tour of four sites for a reasonable expense. I would recommend “Hamlet Tours” to anyone travelling to Copenhagen.
