Spectacular
It was a spectacular walk! Our driver was Adam, very attentive and who guided us exemplary! The castles we visit tell a part of the Danish royal history. We chose the 8h tour that encompassed both castles. The views are stunning! It is really worth taking this tour taking into account everything we can see and learn about real history. As we were quick inside the same, Adam even suggested that we visit the Louisiana museum that was on the way and was an excellent tip, considering that the museum was really impervious! At the end of the return to Copenhagen we still stopped at the little mermaid for a few photos! Thank you!
Response from the operator: Estimados clientes, ¡Gracias por sus maravillosos comentarios! Nos complace saber que disfrutaron de nuestro recorrido y tuvieron una excelente experiencia con nosotros. Esperamos que vuelvan a utilizar nuestros servicios en el futuro. ¡Esperamos darles la bienvenida nuevamente en otro recorrido! Atentamente. Equipo de Rosotravel

spectacular castle
We visited Kronborg Castle from Malmo. It is a spectacular castle, very large, with good views. And it has a part of catacombs, with many underground passages, which are amazing. In many sections you have to go with your cell phone flashlight because it is in darkness. Quite an experience

Very beautiful castle by the sea.
We were lucky enough to be with our friend Kenneth who is from Copenhagen who gave us a private guided tour. The castle is magnificent from the outside as well as the inside. We have a very precise idea of the life that took place in the places according to the different periods. Before and after the fire of the castle in particular. The furniture and accessories are in an exceptional state of conservation. The statue located in the basement is simply magnificent. We recommend this tour just over an hour's drive from central Copenhagen.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car cost?
+
Prices start at $838 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Copenhagen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Copenhagen is not rushed.
Is Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Copenhagen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Copenhagen and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg from Copenhagen by Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Copenhagen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Copenhagen?
+
On Outty we rank every Copenhagen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Copenhagen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
