Despite a 6-hour window, we were able to hit all the important spots albeit inside the bus for some attractions like Tivoli Garden and the City Hall. We stopped initially at the Little Mermaid site, then bused and walked to Amalienborg Castle with a view of Frederik's Church, did a guided tour of Christiansborg Palace, and walked to nearby Nyhavn Harbor for a canal cruise with Netto. The final stop was at Rosenborg Castle. Our guide Berit kept our big group organized and interested. She made sure we got some time in the end for souvenirs as well. My experience preparing for this event with Julia in the Vexperio office and the actual tour itself with Berit and Carson, our driver, was all pro - I would recommend them for future trips.
