Denmark & Sweden Highlights Full-Day Tour by car

You won't find this tour offered anywhere else. It's a trip to some out of the way places that are my special favourites, and we're much more likely to fall in with a local walking their dog than another party of foreign tourists. You can expect plenty of local colour, an engaged and enthusiastic guide keen to show the area to its best advantage, and a degree of insight into what makes Swedes and Danes the same but different. Like many countries that are close neighbours, many a war has been fought between Denmark and Sweden down through the centuries, and their close proximity has also meant that the two countries' languages are very similar. Danes and Swedes, at any rate those above a certain age, can normally understand each other, and they also share a common culture: the area we'll be visting was Danish territory until about 300 years ago. However, you'll also notice plenty of differences between bustling, modern Copenhagenites and the more traditional folk of rural Sweden.
