Don’t waste your time.

1.00They call it ‘canal tour’, but only go into canals at low tide. And, no, they don’t tell you this until you are underway. No live guide, just a guy that spent entire time in cockpit chatting up the (female) captain. To make it an hour (since the route was drastically shortened and included only the harbor) they ran 5 knots and the recorded message came on about every 5 minutes. Total waste of time and $.
Great way to see Copenhagen on sunny day

5.00It was a sunny chilly day on the water so pleasant. Enjoyable way to see Colgate in boat on the canal. Only an hour with earplugs for narration. Boat is fully open so go when warm or sunny unless you love the cold
Great way to see the city!

5.00Such a great way to see the city. The windows on the boat open so you still get great pictures, even when it is raining and you want to sit inside. We enjoyed seeing Copenhagen from this perspective. Great way to balance out all the walking at the end of the day!
Meet the target

4.00Lovely trip with good and interesting facts re history and culture of Copenhagen. Great way to get view of how the city has grown and also to see it from the water. Only challenge is that depending on where you sit could impact views but loved it otherwise and good value. Would recommend!

Cheapest but very very good

5.00There are a number of cruise trips with this being the cheapest price but well worth the trip. They show you a good number of the main attractions of Copenhagen canals with good commentary in several languages including English. The sights are worth the visit as are the super low bridges with some great spots for pictures.
