5.00Lovely and knowledgeable tour guide (I believe her name was Lisa?). Plenty of seating for different groups so everyone was comfortable and nicely spaced. Would definitely recommend to others who are planning a trip to Copenhagen :)
Great cruise

4.00The tour guide was excellent. Enjoyed the trip but would have been great if the windows were clean so we could take photos.
A good welcome, but a not very rewarding walk.

2.00Commitments are kept and the welcome of the on-board staff very pleasant. However, the low position we occupy in the boat gives only a glimpse of the environment; walk not of great interest.
Super boat trip

5.00Gives you a really good overview of the sites of Copenhagen and we were fortunate to have an excellent guide in Julie (will the man in yellow please sit down!!!) who was able to talk us through the history behind all the buildings, some of which we then went and visited on foot. Was an hour as indicated. If indoors then you may get a slightly more restricted view but still didn't spoil the experience.
Excellent trip and good value!
