An ideal way to see Copenhagen’s iconic sights

5.00It was impressive how much information was shared throughout the tour. Our guide was witty, funny, and full of energy the entire time. Appreciated the "heads-up" whilst going under low bridges :) The views from the water were wonderful and offered a completely different perspective that you just don’t get from land. The concession seller on shore was also very friendly. He was clearly very busy, but still polite and apologetic about the delays. I felt a little bad for one group that arrived just as the boat was preparing to depart. They mentioned they had one person still in the restroom, but the guide explained they needed to stay on schedule and couldn’t wait the few minutes. While I understand the importance of keeping to a timetable, waiting a minute or two for them would probably have had a minimal impact overall. Overall, it was a great experience and also family-friendly.
Great way to see and learn about the sights.

5.00Very good experience in order to get to know that specific area. We walked around it the day before, but getting background info as you saw the sights made the experience more worthwhile. It was only $30/person for 2 hours of walking (really more like 1 hour walk/1 hour talk) so a great way to experience that part of town.
Wonderful experience

5.00It was a nice experience and the tour guide made it even more interesting and interactive. Though I missed my timing, the office was nice enough to put me on the next available time.
Very fun with our guide,...

5.00Very fun with our guide, Lisa. It’s a different experience than a walking tour - so try and do both if you can.
Excellent

5.00Tour was great. Loved Erik and Henrik! Learned a ton about Copenhagen. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a comprehensive view of Copenhagen and would enjoy cruising around on the water.
Not What I Hoped For

3.00It was almost impossible to hear the commentary. The microphone was full of static and when people on the boat were talking, it was difficult to hear anything. It wasn’t easy to follow what buildings, structures or points of interest were being pointed out as the information jumped quickly from one side of the boat to the other. I’m sure the tour has a lot to offer those aboard, but that wasn’t the case for me.
Worth It

5.00This was a cool way to see some of Copenhagen and hear some history. It is the perfect length of time (1 hour) to get in some sightseeing. We were there on sunny but chilly day so wear warm clothes as the water and wind can make it a little cooler. Also, get there early to get a seat near the window or outside.
Brilliant worthwhile tour
