The timing was excellent: everything was planned precisely, so we managed to see both the Changing of the Guard and the Royal Guards marching from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace right on time. Maybe we were just lucky that day, but it really felt like professional planning rather than luck. Highly recommended.”
