Redbus tour with friendly drivers

4.00We were looking for the stop of the Hop on bus when we saw it at an intersection at a traffic light. We were on the other side and crossed and stood at the regular bus stop, so this turned out not to be the stop of the red bus. It was raining and I put my hand out and the driver stopped and was kind enough to let us in. Now the bus wasn't crowded. The ticket was not paid, to which the driver said, at the next stop we will try again. This is super friendly anyway. Only a pity that at the stop of the little mermaid it was not said that they stayed there for a while. Because then we could have had a look.
Bus tour good, sound and times need improvement, take seat cushion

4.00The red, green and purple Stromma bus is included in the Copenhagen Hop Card. You can drive it any way you want. There's a new bus every half hour. That's very positive. Negative is: At 5pm, however, it is already over, which is too close to watch everything. It would be nice if the buses would run longer. The announcements and audio quality are not so great. That can be greatly improved. You might want to take a seat cushion with you because the seats are so cold. Especially now in the cold temperatures you can cool down a bit here.
Great option to get...

Excellent route, subpar narration of city

- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00Route of bus runs right through the heart of Copenhagen and is a good way to see major sites; however, the recorded narration was not in sync with the sites much of the time, often repeating itself, and completing omitting key historic sites that we later learned of. Overall, a very poor tour and not worth the money.
A great way to Acclimatise

Bring $ to tip

4.00Had a day to kill, did the boat tour, it was enclosed due to the weather - so we actually didn't see clearly/much - but the animator was fun / funny. I wish i had thought to bring tip $. He made the ride more enjoyable in the gloomy windy weather :) The bus tour (we got on the wrong one - it was the shorter one, and with barely any feedback from the driver other than stops). I wouldn't do that or recommend that one.
