We just spent 5 days in Copenhagen and the surrounding countryside and really appreciated the very detailed info in this guidebook. I actually debated about buying it, but it was so useful - especially the directions re: train travel. We very easily identified the correct trains to Hillerod and connecting bus to get to Frederiksborg Castle - an absolute 'must see'. Described by Rick as the 'Danish Versailles', it was beautifully preserved and impressive. We even followed his recommendation to get there at opening, and were so glad we did. We continued onto Kronborg Castle, which I enjoyed more than he indicated - loved the setting. And, we spent another easy day trip in Roskilde which was my favorite town. The Cathedral is amazing, the Viking Museum very interesting, and the town with its pedestrian center was absolutely charming. Thanks for the recommendations!

I have taken 14 RS tours in the last 15 years and always take his guide book that we are provided that covers the tour along with me since we always stay at the start city before the tour starts and at the end city after the tour is over. I have never been disappointed with any of them.
