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!

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.
Good trip
