Only thing I would...

5.00Only thing I would mentions is that it is a self guided tour, the boat personnel simply check you in and you listens to headphones. I didn’t mind at all but I clearly missed that part when registering for the cruise. Sights were great, breeze on the water was lovely. Make sure to wear sunglasses and sunblock.
Definitely Worth an Hour

5.00Wonderful ride around the canals in Copenhagen with lots of information and fun facts about the city. If you are on a rare sunny day, make sure you have sun block and a hat!

5.00We did a hop on hop off bus combo tour, initially on the bus then the canal tour. The bus dropped us off at the exact location of the start of the canal tour and picked us up at exactly the same location, very little walking. There was a large number of people on ten boat, but didn't matter as the boat had a big capacity, maybe 50% of seats occupied. The guide was excellent, gave a lot of appropriate information, but did not rattle on about nothing for the sake of using here voice.
A very well done boat tour

4.00The guide is not entirely live, you need to wear headphones to get the full tour. The headphones do not fit in young kids ears - recommend bringing their own headphones and wish I knew the same.
Great Experience

4.00We had a very enjoyable time. We were actually early and there was no problem joining an earlier canal cruise. Our guide gave a fabulous commentary, giving a great insight into the life of the city. It was also interesting to see places from the boat. It was a very chilly summer day but we still found the time very worthwhile.
First day in Copenhagen

3.00We were allowed to hop on the earlier boat which was great. We found it difficult to hear the live tour guide at times. Our window didn’t open unfortunately and it was difficult to see out of the other side when sights were on that side. Gave us a good oversight of the layout of Copenhagen and I am glad we did it. We saw the back of the little mermaid and we saw where Christiana town is which we later went back to explore. Overall good experience just a shame we couldn’t hear all of the info.
Nice short tour on Boat
