TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Copenhagen Shore Excursion

This full day private shore excursion visits Frederiksborg Castle and Kronborg Castle, two of Denmark`s most famous castles located on North Zealand. You also enjoy a drive along the scenic Danish Riviera.

After meeting your driver guide at the pier you start your drive through the lovely landscape of Zealand, the largest island in Denmark. Your first visit is to the Frederiksborg Castle which was built in Renaissance style in 1615 by King Christian IV. This unique castle is now the Museum of National Danish History, housing collections of furniture and silverware and paintings of the members of the Royal Family. Your visit includes the museum, with its treasures, and the castle chapel.

A break is included for you to enjoy lunch (meal not included) before you proceed to Fredensborg Palace where you see the Queen`s summer and autumn residence which is situated in a beautiful park on the edge of Lake Esrum.

A short distance away is the town of Elsinore where you visit the Kronborg Castle which was built in 1420 and is well known from Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". You will visit the catacombs where you see Holger Dansk, also known as The Dane. Legend says that he never lost a battle in his life and if Denmark is ever threatened, Holger will awake and do battle for Denmark.

You return to Copenhagen by traveling along the Danish Riviera which provides lovely views of the Danish and Swedish coasts.

This tour includes a Driver Guide who provides commentary in the vehicle, however the castles are self-guided tours. Should you wish to have a licensed guide join you in the castles, 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.
