Visit two Danish castles, Roskilde Cathedral, and the Viking Ship Museum on a small-group day trip from Copenhagen.

“Our guide Sillas was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. Was a real bonus being picked up from our hotel. This full day tour spent the perfect amount of time at each venue so the day went really quickly without feeling neither rushed or dragging on (although in fairness we did come in the middle of winter so maybe on a lovely summer day we might have appreciated more time outdoors). Travel time never exceeded 45 minutes between locations so the balance between travel and walking around the sites is bang on. The castles are incredible and well worth venturing out of the city to see,…”
