Skip the line is always a good idea for places like this. - Skip the line was very handy since there was a long ticket line when we arrived. We just showed our tickets and went right in. The guide worked well and gave good info. Highly recommend!

Wonderful historical experience. - The self guided tour was informative , but we stopped listening and ended up exploring on our own. Fascinating experience for this first time traveler to any castle. A lot of stairs and steps. Not for the out of shape.

Worth the climb! Go early for little crowds - Go early, got there at 9.00am no queue! And had the place all to myself. Surreal feeling. The free roaming peacock make it even wilder! Worth the climb up for sure. Make sure to download the tickets via email before you go.

Recommend - Would definitely recommend skip the line (as it was incredibly long and also v hot (34 degrees!). Consider getting a tour guide but also good to explore yourself in your own time.

Great Visit. Don’t trust this service. - We had a great time at the castle, but the tickets we received didn’t work. The guard waved us in anyway, thankfully. But definitely something fishy about the tickets we got. The barcodes wouldn’t scan and were listed as Not Valid. Definitely not cool. We just got lucky with a nice guard.

Not needed in my experience - If you visit the castle first thing in the morning on a weekday, don’t bother with this. There were only a few other visitors at the 9am opening. Also, the confirmation email said I needed to be 15 minutes early for a security check… nope. No such check, and the gates don’t open before 9. The audio guide “included” is just the normal, free audio tour available to all entry levels. Just buy the regular entry ticket through the Castle and don’t bother with this unless you plan a weekend or afternoon visit. I could have saved at least 10 euros.

We were burned by and had to buy new tickets directly at the Borgen - We had a bad experience. There did not meet guides up. We couldn't call anyone up. The tickets we had received did not work in Borgens ticket system. We feel badly treated. We had to buy new tickets directly at the entrance. We are also not satisfied with the handling of our complaint. At the entrance the guards told me that they were experiencing this every day....

Bad experience. - I received the tickets electronically, but the file never opened, so I ended up buying other tickets. I contacted the provider of the tickets, but no help at all.
