★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 439 reviews · 8 hours · from $112Our pick

Travel from central Copenhagen by air-conditioned minibus to the Forest Tower and Møns Klint. Your English-speaking guide, often praised for clear local insight and good humor, leads the day. Expect a gentle ramp at the tower, dramatic chalk cliffs, and roughly 500 steps each way if you walk to the beach.

“What a great tour! The guide Mahmoud was amazing. So incredibly knowledgeable and just a pleasant person all around. The tour was a blast and such a great deal for the price. The bus was incredibly comfortable. The cliffs were breathtaking, both in their beauty and literally with the 500 steps you have to climb back up from the beach! The forest tower was really fun and unique. If you are at all considering this, you should do it! You won't regret it!”
