5.00Very friendly drivers and staff for ticket purchases
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

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.
