So much fun and very interesting tour. Rene and Pete ( hope I spelled correctly) were very informative and knowledgeable tour guides. I learned a lot!
You are spot on with the names! will be letting our guides know the great trip they did.
Flemming was fabulous! He was funny and respectful. Lots of interesting information. Umbrellas could be borrowed. Provided water bottles on board. It was nice to be picked up at our hotel on time. Dropped off on time. He pointed out bathrooms, coffee, and food opportunities. He suggests an itinerary to well manage your time but you are on your own to do what you want a good portion of the time. He gave us every opportunity to see as much as possible. Great tour!
Timing, plenty of freedom, and keeping everyone happy (and dry!) is exactly what we aim for, Will be letting Flemming know about the great job he did , Thanks for the review!
We had a great time visiting Kronborg and Fredericksburg castles with Ophelia tours. We were picked up on a 9 person vehicle and the driver had drinking water available. Since we had kids and grandparents with us we were attracted to this tour because of the easy pace. Kronborg castle was guided by our guide while Fredericksburg was self walk through. We had a nice lunch at a café by Fredericksburg castle. Our tour guide Kenneth was very informative throughout.
Thank you so much for the review, We love keeping things relaxed and comfortable. We are happy the pace worked out perfectly for everyone.
Nice ride. Guide very knowledegable and pleasant.
Smooth rides and great knowledge are exactly what we aim for, Thank you for the review!!
Our tour guide, Flemming, provided insightful information on Denmark and Danish culture on the drive to both castles we visited. It is clear that he loves his job and interacting with tourists. What a lovely day away from Copenhagen!
Thank you for the nice feedback! Getting out of the city to visit the castles is always a great experience, and we're happy that Flemming made the journey insightful and engaging for you. Connecting with our guests is exactly what we love to do. We appreciate your support and hope you will enjoy the rest of your time in Denmark!

Long day but very informative. We were able to take the longer tour which included some extra stops. Very informative. Our driver/ tour guide was terrific. Very enthusiastic about the various sites, and knowledgeable. He seemed to get energy from his work.
Thank you kindly for the review! We’re happy you enjoyed the extended itinerary and the extra stops. I will gladly pass your kind words along to your guide and it's fantastic to hear that his enthusiasm made your day special.
From pick-up at our hotel until drop-off, Flemming put himself out to make sure we not only enjoyed our day, but learnt much about the history of Kronborg Castle and Frederiksborg Palace, as well as Danish life in general. It was a wonderful tour.
Flemming will be very pleased to hear your kind words. He loves sharing the stories of Kronborg Castle and Frederiksborg Palace, and he takes great pride in giving our guests a true insight into Danish life. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope the memories of the day stay with you for a long time! Thank you for sharing
A relaxing informative day. Our guide, Fleming, shared great information but didn’t go too deep on any one subject.
Thank you kindly for the review! We are glad to hear that you had a nice and informative day. It is great to know that Flemming’s approach hit the right note for you. We aim to provide an overview of the history and sites without making the day feel like a lecture, so I’m glad he found that balance and kept the experience enjoyable.
A wonderful tour with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. As I enjoy time to explore and take in the museums, this tour provides just the extra time without the feeling of urgency that sometimes is associated with day tours.
Thank you for your kind words! We are happy to hear that you had a great experience with our guide. We take pride in the pace of our tours. We intentionally try to design our tours to offer that extra time. It’s nice to know you were able to truly soak in history and explore at your own speed.
