The canal ride was lovely!

5.00We took the canal tour on our second day, and it was a great decision. They provided ear phones so you could hear the guide in various languages. Every seat on the boat was a great seat for photos. And if you were lucky to ride on a sunny day, even better. You could also bring drinks and snacks on the ride. This was a relaxing and informative way to learn about Copenhagen!!!
Harbour NOT canal tour.

3.00Disappointed as we thought had booked a canal tour, but on boarding were told the tide was too high for the boat to fit under the canal bridges, so we were doing a harbour tour instead The boat was clean and comfortable and the audio headset easy to use, although the content was a bit cheesy. I think the company need to be more upfront about the impact of tides on the tour they offer. We booked through TA, which may have compounded this issue.
Great way to see copenhagen

4.00On a scorching day this was the best way to see copenhagen. Commentary available in various languages. Drinks can be purchased riverside before boarding. Takes about an hour but well worth it.

5.00The Copenhagen Classic Canal Tour was a wonderful way to explore the city from a different perspective. The boat ride was relaxing, and the guide provided interesting stories and historical facts about Copenhagen's landmarks, architecture, and waterfront areas. The views of famous sights along the canals were beautiful, and the experience was both enjoyable and informative. It was well organized, comfortable, and a great value for anyone visiting Copenhagen. I would definitely recommend this tour as a highlight of the city.
