“Our 9-hour sojourn on July 16 visiting Kronborg Castle, Louisanna Museum and Viking Ship Meseum was such a rich and fulfilling experience seeing these gems of Denmark, yet almost effortless through the fantastic arrangement of Edgar, our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly, his amazing story-telling skills had brought life to the history and joy to his audience. We are also thankful to Jose, our driver for taking care of us on the road and being always impeccably on time to meet us after we finished a spot so we wasted no time to head to the next destination. A long day for us starting at 9am…”
