  • Reviewer: Rinat Goren, 2009 located in Central America

    "Just wanted to thank you. We are back from Costa Rica and had a wonderful trip. Everything worked really well, on time and we had really good time. Also, I wanted to comment on your contacts in Costa Rica- they were very responsive, helped solve problems on the spot and it was very reassuring to have them there."

  • Reviewer: Nita Duncan, 2009 located in Egypt & Ancient Lands

    "For any single traveling woman - no fear! I, a single 61 year old female, traveled through Egypt & Jordan with absolutely no fear or concern for my safety. Not because I am brave but because there was no external cause for fear. The representatives who met me at the airports, the guides (especially Sam), and the drivers were all wonderful and very informative. The tour was first class and I would love to take another with Kinsington Tours and will recommend them to all my friends."

  • Reviewer: Marie, 2009 located in Asia

    "We are back and we had a wonderful trip. Everything was perfectly organized, with the right balance between time with a guide and free time. We were very lucky with the weather, no rain at all except for a 20 minutes thunderstorm in Dalat. Halong Bay was very clear all the time although it is supposed to be foggy during the day. The Metropole was perfect, the best breakfasts ever, the boat, Jasmine, wonderful and we were only 14 people instead of 44…,the Palm Garden in Hoi An very nice, the Ana Mandara in Nha Trang, pure Heaven, the Sofitel in Dalat beautiful, almost empty and a very friendly staff."

Itinerary

Day 1 Copenhagen

Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia and Denmark's capital and displays effortless grace and impeccable Nordic style. A bustling metropolis of 1.1 million, and one of Europe's most enjoyable cities, Copenhagen is situated on the island of Zealand facing the Oresund strait. With Sweden just minutes away by train, it is a link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia, and has a wealth of cultural and entertaining things to see and do. The city has a reputation for tolerance, the fascinating 'free city' of Christiania, a community of people who have tried to create an equal and just consensus-governed democracy for its people. There is more to here than Carlsberg and The Little Mermaid, and a trip to the wonderful Tivoli Gardens will leave the visitor in no doubt that this is a very special city.

Copenhagen is one of the most historic and charming cities in the Baltic region and this tour gives you the opportunity to see it from two perspectives: by land and by water. Begin with a drive through the heart of Copenhagen. The Town Hall Square, which offers a lively combination of shopping, dining and people watching. Dominating the busy square is the Town Hall, an unusual combination of Italian Renaissance and Medieval Danish architecture, richly adorned with sculptures and paintings. Drive past the world-famous Tivoli Gardens, the New Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum (containing the largest collection of ancient art in Northern Europe). Stop for photos at Amalienborg Palace, the royal winter residence located on a spacious octagonal Palace Square comprising  of four separate but linked mansions. One is the residence of the Queen; the second is the residence of the heir to the throne; the third accommodates visiting royals and the fourth houses the administrative offices of the throne

Enjoy time at leisure to explore at your own pace, or relax at your hotel.

In Hillerød you will experience the inside of the magnificent Frederiksborg Castle, where our visit includes the National History Museum´s royal art collection, the Chapel of Orders and the Knight´s Hall. From here the tour continues past the royal family´s summer residence Fredensborg Castle. After this the tour drives to Elsinore where we will make a photo stop for you to experience the outer walls and towers of impressive Kronborg Castle- setting of Shakespeare´s play Hamlet. The castle was build between 1574 and 1585 to protect Danish interests and to collect tolls from ships passing through the narrow strait. The tour is a great way of seeing the castles and countryside outside of Copenhagen.
