TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Copenhagen Shore Excursion

This full day shore excursion visits the city of Vikings, Roskilde, where you will learn about an exciting time in the region's history, which dates back over 1000 years. Highlights include the Viking Ship Museum and Roskilde Cathedral.

Upon arrival in Roskilde, your first stop is the Viking Ship Museum which is the Danish National Museum for ships and boat building from prehistoric and medieval times. In the early 11th century, five Viking ships were purposely sunk in the Roskilde Fjord to protect Roskilde from an enemy attack by sea. These ships were excavated in 1962 and it was learned that they were five different types of ships ranging from cargo ships to war ships. The museum was built overlooking the fjord and on your tour you will enjoy reconstructions of these original ships.

After a break for you to enjoy lunch on your own, you will visit the Roskilde Cathedral, which sits on top of a fill and offers wonderful views over the fjords. The cathedral was begun in the 12th century and it was the first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick. Its construction later encouraged this style in much of northern Europe. The impressive twin spires dominate the skyline of the town. Inside the church is the resting place of Danish monarchs since the 15th century. In 1995 the cathedral was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It continues to be one of the largest cathedrals in Denmark and of course a top attraction in Roskilde.

Later this afternoon you return to the pier in Copenhagen.

This tour includes a Driver Guide who provides commentary in the vehicle, however the museum is a self-guided tour. Should you wish to have a licensed guide join you in the museum, please contact us for a quote.

Reviewer: Robert N from Huntington Station, New York  
Our guides were all - the best was michel (spelling may be off) in DEnmark. he was knowledgeable, personable, friendly - all you would want in a guide. i highly recommend.  Copenhagen, London, Dover and Portland were all amazing - a must to visit we were a group of 8 - cousins and spouses - 4 couples.

5 of 5 Review Location- Copenhagen April 12, 2026
Reviewer: Bridgette G from Aurora Canada  
I have been meaning to get in touch and letting you know that all private tours were right on time even though after reconfirming from the hotel in Copenhagen my German phone never worked, so I was a bit concerned how it would work out but they were all there, were professional and helpful and with the three boys it was the best decision I made about the whole trip to have the private tours. I knew this cruise would not be the perfect itinerary for teen age boys but I think the guides we had made it work, adjusted the programs tour over the city rather than the city tour as it would have given the boys a thrill and me the kind of overview of the city one could not get from a car. I dont mean it complaining, it is more hindsight on my part. I would recommend Private tours to anyone with a small group, as the flexibility and advantage of passing all the long long line ups for all the larger groups and sneaking in ahead of them was worth alone the extra cost. On top of it the flexibility was just priceless for the boys. I have less good things to say about the cruise line, found the ship not well organized and not at all helpful for anyone not wanting their tours and giving the rest of us wrong information about landing procedures at least 12 the time. Well, I have learned a lot and even though I will never be a total cruise fan, the baltic itinerary is really very informative if one prepares oneself as there was little or no advanced information on the destination ports given to us from the ship itself. So, thanks for your helpful service, I would recommend booking private tours to anyone!! You are welcome to quote my recommendation if needed.

We enjoyed our excursions with your company very much. The drivers and guides were professional, punctual, friendly and well-informed. The vehicles were comfortable, clean and generally of a superior quality. You and your staff were very helpful and responsive to our inquiries and requests and your reservation information was complete, professional, and helpful.

Reviewer: Denise A and William P from Roslyn, WA  
We want to thank you for the great job you did on planning and organizing our trip to Europe. The eight of us had a great time as well as being pleasantly surprised at how well the trip was organized, how gracious our drivers and guides were how pertinent your suggestions were. We will be having friends go in the spring and will be referring them to you.
