The tour was very thorough. Our driver and tour guide (Thomas) offered very interesting facts and points of interest. It was great to see the castles inside and out and the beautiful countryside that Denmark has (it makes me appreciate my mother's homeland more). The only con was that I wished we were able to spend a little more free time at the castles and explore their gift shop. This may have been an issue since we started out late and we were running behind for part of the way. Other than that, I had a great time and would be inclined doing it again.
