Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Nyhavn canal boat tour and Strøget. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Strøget alone was worth the trip, but combined with Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond The Blue Planet (National Aquarium Denmark) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Freetown Christiania in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Copenhagen was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Round Tower (Rundetaarn) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
