Good things to see Very good driver with loads of knowledge of the stops / route
Just a great and easy way to see a lot! We were very happy with this trip, it’s just as described by all the other reviews
Fabulous experience! In Copenhagen and wanted to see Sweden. Driver/guide was so nice and helpful. Bus was clean and comfortable - driver was amazing! The pre-recorded tour info was great - just the right amount of information and didn't rabble on every second of the ride. The route was well thought out - not too long between stops and we had 1 1/2 hours to really get to see each city. Even with grey/wet weather, this was an excellent tour. We even had amazing Swedish Meatballs in Sweden!!
Great day trip. Had enough time in all 3 places to explore and not feel rushed. Your guide was amazing.
Most of the support is while driving from one place to another. There is minimal support when you actually reach the destinations. Also, a lot of things are mentioned in the post but it is impossible to do them all in the time limit and most of them cost additional money.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the drive commentary was helpful, and we appreciate your note about limited support at the stops and the optional activities. Your comments help us improve!
We took the tour from our cruise ship. The ship docked late so we missed the departure time. I reached out to the tour guide and Mustapha got back to me immediately. He came himself to pick us up at the dock and deliver us to the tour bus. From there Adam our guide took incredible care of us. Its a full 9 hour day. Both Copenhagen and Sweden are incredible. The stops we made were extremely interesting and a perfect amount of time. You cant go wrong with this tour or tour company. 5 stars around!!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear the team went above and beyond — from Mustapha personally picking you up at the dock to Allan! taking such great care of you throughout the day. It’s great that the full itinerary, the timing at each stop, and the experience of visiting both Denmark and Sweden made the day so memorable. We truly appreciate your 5‑star recommendation!
This was one of the best day tours I took during my visit to Copenhagen. In a single day, I was able to explore two countries, learn about their shared history, and enjoy some beautiful scenery along the way. The highlight was visiting Kronborg Castle, the UNESCO World Heritage Site that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Walking through the castle’s halls, ramparts, and courtyards while learning about its strategic importance at the entrance to the Øresund Strait made the experience both fascinating and memorable. Crossing the Øresund Bridge into Sweden was an experience in itself. In Malmö, we explored the charming Old Town, admired the city’s mix of medieval and modern architecture, and had time to stroll through the main squares and waterfront. It was a great introduction to Sweden and left me wanting to return for a longer visit. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and did an outstanding job explaining the history, culture, and relationship between Denmark and Sweden throughout the day. The itinerary was well paced, transportation was comfortable, and there was enough free time at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings. If you’re visiting Copenhagen and want to experience both Denmark and Sweden without the hassle of planning transportation, I highly recommend this tour. It offers an excellent combination of history, architecture, scenic views, and cultural insight, making it one of the best day trips available from Copenhagen.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re pleased the itinerary, historical insight, and comfortable transportation created a seamless experience. It’s great to hear you enjoyed Kronborg Castle as well as your introduction to Sweden. Thank you for the strong recommendation.
This was one of the best day tours I took from Copenhagen. In one well-organized day, we visited Kronborg Castle, crossed into Sweden, and explored both Lund and Malmö. Kronborg Castle was a major highlight, especially with its connection to Shakespeare’s Hamlet and its strategic location along the Øresund Strait. Lund added a completely different experience, with its historic university town atmosphere, charming streets, and beautiful cathedral. Malmö was also a great stop, offering a mix of old-world charm, modern architecture, and waterfront views. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day moving smoothly while sharing helpful historical and cultural context. Transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary offered an excellent balance of history, architecture, scenery, and free time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Copenhagen who wants to experience Denmark and Sweden in one day without the stress of arranging transportation independently.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re pleased to hear the itinerary, commentary, and transportation all contributed to a seamless and enriching experience. It’s great that each stop—from Kronborg Castle to Lund and Malmö—offered something unique. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation.
