5.00A lot of fun as we toured the canals. There is a recorded sight seeing audio that talks about the sites. Very nice in the early evening.
Bare bones tour

2.00Probably my least favourite boat tour that I've taken. Patronising audio-commentary at times, unclear directions often, and regular advertising of the company's other services. The host's entire job was to tell people to not hit their heads on low bridges. The experience could be much improved with a proper guide with care for the city that brings it to life. The audio-guide did not do that at all.
You get a pretty good...

4.00You get a pretty good sense of how Copenhagen is laid out, and learn bits of interesting history. The audio quality is not good, so I missed a lot of the commentary.

5.00Only thing I would mentions is that it is a self guided tour, the boat personnel simply check you in and you listens to headphones. I didn’t mind at all but I clearly missed that part when registering for the cruise. Sights were great, breeze on the water was lovely. Make sure to wear sunglasses and sunblock.
Definitely Worth an Hour
