Itinerary
The driver and guide will pick you up directly from your hotel or accommodation in Copenhagen in a clean, air-conditioned car and drive you to Kronborg Castle, which towers above a very narrow promontory between the coasts of Denmark and Sweden.
Visit the majestic Kronborg Castle with a Private Guide. Every minute of this fully-guided tour will be filled with amazing stories about Dutch kings and queens, seafaring traditions and legendary warriors. With skip-the-line tickets to Kronborg Castle you will spend more time exploring the grounds instead of waiting in line at the ticket office. Highlights include the royal chambers, mighty ballrooms with sumptuous tapestries, murky dungeons, and fabulous castle gardens. See how they changed from the headquarters for the collection of the Sound Dues, the Renaissance residence of medieval kings and queens, and the Danish army’s fortress and barracks. Find out how the castle was immortalized as Elsinore in Shakespeare's play Hamlet, and hear the Dutch legend of the warrior Holger Danske who sleeps in the casemates. On your way back to Copenhagen you will also have a chance to see the Fredensborg Palace, where the Danish Royal Family spends their summers.
Frederiksborg Castle and Gardens with skip-the-line tickets and an audio guide, and see the Fredensborg Palace (outside only) along the way. Visit the Frederiksborg Castle’s royal apartments, the Marble Gallery of the King’s Wing, the grand banquet hall, portrait gallery, the ornate Golden Chapel, Baroque Garden, and more. Optionally, we can make table reservations for your lunch at a local restaurant. After a self-guided tour of Frederiksborg Castle your private, English-speaking driver will take you back to your accommodation in Copenhagen.

It was a spectacular walk! Our driver was Adam, very attentive and who guided us exemplary! The castles we visit tell a part of the Danish royal history. We chose the 8h tour that encompassed both castles. The views are stunning! It is really worth taking this tour taking into account everything we can see and learn about real history. As we were quick inside the same, Adam even suggested that we visit the Louisiana museum that was on the way and was an excellent tip, considering that the museum was really impervious! At the end of the return to Copenhagen we still stopped at the little mermaid for a few photos! Thank you!

We visited Kronborg Castle from Malmo. It is a spectacular castle, very large, with good views. And it has a part of catacombs, with many underground passages, which are amazing. In many sections you have to go with your cell phone flashlight because it is in darkness. Quite an experience
We were lucky enough to be with our friend Kenneth who is from Copenhagen who gave us a private guided tour. The castle is magnificent from the outside as well as the inside. We have a very precise idea of the life that took place in the places according to the different periods. Before and after the fire of the castle in particular. The furniture and accessories are in an exceptional state of conservation. The statue located in the basement is simply magnificent. We recommend this tour just over an hour's drive from central Copenhagen.
