5.00We really enjoyed this boat trip on the canal - it was nice to see a bit more of Copenhagen, residential areas as well as commercial areas, and the guide was informative and engaging. We would recommend going!

5.00Well worth the money, very interesting seeing the city from the Canal. Our guide was entertaining and informative and we learnt a lot about the city. We went earl y Jan when the outside temp was minus 4C but the boat was covered and heated so quite comfortable. Lasted about an hour which was just right.
Terrible Guide!!!

1.00My family and I went on the stromma 1 hour cruise which gave a lovely perspective of the city and its attractions. Unfortunately the 3:30 guide we got was a complete joke!! Using his stupid humour and giving very little in terms of info it was just painful to have to sit there and endure him. I wish I could tell you his name so that you can try to avoid him. Just also note our cruise went only for 45 minutes.
Great, efficient and...

5.00Great tour! We went in December and it was cold, but there was a nice covered heated area to sit in. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer additional questions. Our kids (ages 11 and 7) had fun and learned a lot about Copenhagen. Even if your kids weren’t interested in the history, there’s lots to look at and you go under a lot of cool bridges.
Poor quality tour
