Hamlet and Sweden Tour - Two Countries in one day !
Description
Join us in a full day's tour to Hamlet's Castle, where we travel up the coast road, Strandvejen and arrive in the charming old town of Helsingør, known as Elsinor in English. After our visit to Elsinor, we sail across the Øresund to Sweden and travel along the Swedish country roads to the ancient City of Lund, where you can visit Lund Cathedral, which was completed in the year 1145. Behind the cathedral you can explore the tiny streets, with houses dating back to the 1700s. It's like stepping back into history! Afterwards we travel to Malmö, Sweden's third largest city, where you will have a chance to do some shopping and take advantage of Sweden's lower purchase taxes, which means there are some very nice prices!

Our tour with Steen was wonderful! Informative, detailed and unique experience for our whole family (Mom,Dad and 7 year old son). Steen was the best tour guide - engaging, kind and with a terrific sense of Danish humor. Ask for him when you book! Would recommend to anyone looking to see a ton of places in just one day. Be ready to walk quickly - this tour covers many interesting towns and places and you'll need your walking shoes to make sure you can see it all!
This was a really great experience. The commentary during the comfortable bus ride to the various stops was informative and provided useful information about the surrounding areas and the sites visited. The bus driver, Alan, was also very knowledgeable. There was plenty of time allowed at the stops at Helsingor, Denmark and Lund and Malmo in Sweden, to properly explore the towns. I highly recommend this tour.
What an amazing, interesting, beatitiful tour. You get to see parts of Denmark and parts of Sweden on one day. Our guide, Mario was the best ! He had a huge knowledge and provided us with a lot of interesting information. He took such good care of us, providing us with numerous bottles of free water (it was a very hot day) He also made sure, none of us got lost on the various stops we made. Definitely a tour to remember ! Thank you soo much, Mario

Time well spent! Knowledgeable driver/tour guide You get to see some of both countries from a bus while cruising around and even catch a short ride on the ferry! Highly recommend taking this tour ☀️
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the well‑paced itinerary, the knowledgeable driver‑guide, and the chance to see both countries from the road and the ferry. Your recommendation means a lot.
Great tour to see Sweden and Hamlets castle in a short period of time. Very well organized . Tour guide was great.
Thank you for your great review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed seeing both Sweden and Hamlet’s Castle in such a short time. It’s wonderful that the tour felt well organized and that your guide made the day even better. We truly appreciate your kind words.
Loved this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and told us many things about the history between Denmark and Sweden! Learned so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour and found the guide’s knowledge of the region and its history so valuable. We’re glad it was such a positive day for you.
Excellent trip Our guide, Andy, was very good and an amazing bus driver as well. It was a great way to see a lot of things in a relatively short period of time. Wish we could have spent more time in Lund.
Thank you for your excellent review! We’re thrilled to hear that Andy made such a strong impression as both a guide and a skilled driver. Covering so many highlights in one day is a unique experience, and we’re glad it felt worthwhile. Lund is a charming place — we understand wanting a bit more time there. We truly appreciate your kind words.
Great experience, indeed! Visiting two countries, super interesting Helsingor, Malme and Lund. Strongly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted that you enjoyed visiting both Denmark and Sweden and found Helsingør, Malmö, and Lund so engaging. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
I wanted to love this but sadly can't. Our tour guide was very nice and tried...but we just couldn't hear him very well. Combo of accent and bad speakers means his probably fabulous stories were impossible to follow. And he kept trying to tell us a story while the audio guide was talking so he was constantly getting cut off. I would have loved to either have his stories or the audio guide, both didn't work. The timing of the activities as also really challenging. We had 75 minutes at the first stop but there was a ton to do there! So you basically had to speed run the castle and not read anything if you wanted to hit the street food market for more than 10minutes, and there was no hope to actually walk around the town if you wanted to do the castle. Same things happened in Sweden, if you wanted to eat lunch and actually walk around you had to choose, you only get to do one of those activities. Then Malmo was honestly rather boring (we went on a week day so somethings may have been closed) so it felt like we had too much time there. Another problematic thing about our guide was he wanted to take us to a castle in Sweden that wasn't on the itinerary, but that would have added time to the trip and one couple on our bus simply couldn't do the added time. Which is fair, they didn't sign up for that....but our tour guide wouldn't take no for an answer and kept pressuring them! It was really rude. Then on the way home another couple made a special request for a special drop off at their hotel that was not prearranged, adding more delay to all of us returning back to Copenhagen. This tour seemed like a great way to see a bunch of sites easily but I think your guide really makes all the difference, so good luck there. And honestly there just isn't the right amount of time to do any of this cities property so you end up lacking all around. I wish I had just done the trips myself and didn't pay for a tour, it didn't end up being so much easier or nicer.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the pacing didn’t feel right for you. Our tour is designed to give guests around 1.5 hours at each location, which offers enough time to enjoy the highlights and get a real taste of Helsingør, Lund, and Malmö — though of course it isn’t possible to see everything in two countries in a single day. Many travelers appreciate this overview style because it lets them experience Denmark and Skåne, Sweden. We also take your comments about the guide and audio seriously. To look into this properly, could you share the tour date or the guide’s name? This helps us address the situation directly and ensure the experience stays consistent for future guests. Thank you again for your input — it helps us continue improving the tour for everyone.
