Worst experience of our Copenhagen trip

1.00This was our worst experience during our Copenhagen trip. Neither my, nor my daughter's headset worked. We indicated this to the tour guide, who gave us another headset to try, which did not work either. She made no other attempt to rectify the situation. The boat was full, changing seats was not an option. So we did the 'guided' tour without any guidance. After the tour I went to talk to her, she said 'yes, we know those seats don't work' and told me to go to the main ticket booth to get a refund. At the ticket booth, the young staff member first told me he has no proof that my claim is valid/correct. I insisted that he call the tourguide of the boat, who confirmed my experience. After taking my contact information, he and another staff member told me that they could not provide a refund and gave me a business card to the main office. I have not heard back from the main office either. I can only suggest that you avoid this boat tour.

Must Do in Copenhagen
Paul J,May 23, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This is a quick, yet comprehensive canal tour highlighting areas of Copenhagen for new and returning tourists. The price point is excellent. There were a lot of people on the flat bottom boat, but we each had headphones to listen to the commentary in our own language. We saw the main sights and went under at least a dozen bridges. This is a Must-Do for anyone visiting Copenhagen for the first time!
