Freetown Christiania alone was worth the trip, but combined with Louisiana Museum of Modern Art this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Copenhagen is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Amager Beach Park. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

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.
