The private walking tour was unsatisfactory. Guide was hard to understand and didn't volunteer info unless we asked. Canal tour and guide were exceptional.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour. Our guide (Karoline) was very knowledgeable, explained a lot of history everywhere we visited. She also gave ideas for further exploration. Truely enjoyed this adventure and the canal tour was the perfect ending.

The trip was very overpriced compared to the poor quality of the private walking tour and mediocre canal tour. Our guide did not speak English well and also was not from Denmark so his historical knowledge was shallow and difficult to follow. The canal tour was on a boat of ~80 tourists and in English and German. It definitely cost a lot less than what we paid up front as part of our package. Overall I believe we were scammed.
The boat ride was surprisingly pleasant. The boat very comfortable still being for a large number of tourists.
