This full-day tour not only provides a journey to two castles, one of which is listed on the UNESCO Heritage list, and a cathedral, also on the UNESCO Heritage list.
Your English-speaking driver will guide you to Kronborg Castle and Roskilde's Cathedral, providing info-tainment— a delightful mix of facts presented in an easy-going manner, with a twinkle in the eyes of our excellent driver and guide.
The narrative strikes a balance, offering just enough facts without overwhelming you with years, kings, and wars and coupled with a touch of humor and fun.
No need for cardio exercise on this day. 10000 steps is reach before the end of the day, and you will have walked up spiral staircases in medieval castles, crossed cobble stone covered streets.
The tour offers also a lot of fresh air and a taste of the Danish weather. So for clothing, do like the Danes says; There is no bad weather, just the wrong clothing!

Great experience. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was ill so our tour started an hour late, but they let us know with enough time in the morning to pivot. I enjoyed seeing the cathedral and two palaces very much. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. I would not hesitate to take a friend with me on the tour.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the kind review and for being so understanding about our delayed start!
I’m glad we were able to notify you in time to adjust your morning. It’s wonderful to hear that the cathedrals and palaces made the wait worthwhile and that our guide’s knowledge and friendliness stood out to you.
Knowing that you’d confidently bring a friend along next time is the highest compliment we can receive. 🙏

Another Top 10 Tour
This small intimate tour was amazing on every level. Brilliantly run, efficient and entertaining. The itinerary was exactly as described and the locations are a brilliant showcase of the amazing history that is Denmark. Such a great way to see the countryside and take a step back in time inside three iconic and beautifully maintained buildings.
Our guide Tom provided loads of fun facts about Denmark on our travels between venues, along with interesting snippets of history at each location without overloading us. He was both charming and whitty, making for a great day out. Can highly recommend.
Operator response
Reading reviews like yours makes what we do so rewarding. I’m glad you felt the balance of history and entertainment was just right. Tom is a valued member of our team, and his ability to bring Danish history to life is something we are very proud of. Thank you kindly for choosing us at Ophelia Tours to showcase Denmark’s countryside and the histories of the Castle, Palace & Cathedral.

Exploring a little Danish history
Kenneth looked after us fabulously, lots of information and loads of local knowledge which he was happy to share. some time spent being shown around and having the history explained, and some time to experience on our own going where we wanted, comfortable van and back to the hotel feeling educated and satisfied. The recommended lunch spot was great. All up a great day exploring.

Great experience!
Kenneth, our tour guide, was amazing! It was a smallish group and very well done on timing. Just about right at each of the 3 stops. Plus a nice lunch (on our own) for an hour. Pick up from
