This was a really lovely trip, though I think I would have preferred to have the option NOT to be guided through the castles. For those who wanted to be guided, it was great, but I would have preferred to be able to simply wander on my own and spend time looking at those things that were of most interest to me. The countryside is really beautiful, as were the castles. The lunch was not to my liking–it would have been nice if we could have stopped somewhere that had multiple options so that we could choose to eat something we wanted at a price that was in our own individual ranges.

When I got the reservation and paid the money, most of the people told me that it is a costly tour. But being from India and new to to Copenhagen, I just wanted to have a reliable and reputed tour operator and that, too, without any fuss. Fortunately, Viator is among them. As right from the good bus to the friendly and knowledgeable driver of the bus and the running commentary with all the historic and geographic details, the trip to Sweden, (although it was only one day and I wish if it could have been for at least 2 days) was awesome. full of facts and entertaining and this was the usp of the tour and the credit goes to the tour operator – Viator Tours. I recommend. Must go for it. Worth money spent. I also suggest that the tour operator, if possible, arranges a good lunch at a good restaurant/bar. Even if they include the cost of lunch in the cost of the tour, it will be more lucrative and fun. Sudhir Saxena, New Delhi, India.

The Copenhagen Card was well worth it! I purchased it on line and the information booth holding my card at the airport was extremely easy to find. I must have used more than the card was worth on transportation alone! It was great! I didn’t have to always worry about getting a ticket for everything. Lots of attractions are included. The Zoo is really worth the visit as well! Metro and trains are very expensive, so I saved a bundle! I was able to go to Roskilde to see the Viking ruins, up to Kronberg Castle and even over to Fredriksburg Castle. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Copenhagen and area.
