5.00Excellent guide with plenty of info sprinkled with good humour. The canals were attractive, the dock area less so, but still shown some interesting buildings and historical facts. The Little Mermaid was the most underwhelming part of the tour.
Beautiful Copenhagen

4.00Good to get a lay of the land. I did this later in my trip and wish I did it earlier. Helps you see the tourist traps without having to walk to it.
Great overview of Copenhagen

5.00Really good guide. I was worried because we’d been on a bike tour the day before that it would be too similar but I was wrong. Well worth it.

5.00I did this excursion as a solo female traveler. I really enjoyed myself!!! It was such a nice and fun canal ride (very similar to one in Amsterdam). Boat was very spacious, everyone could spread out and have a row or two between them and other passengers. Tour was very informative, and our guide was very knowledgeable. Was also relaxing being on the water. Great tour! Would highly recommend :)

5.00Kobe is a town with a lot of charm, no hectic rush, and a long history — from centeries ago to recent events. Yama was a great guide. We had discussed in advance what we wanted to see, and he perfectly adapted the plan to our interests. When some places were unexpectedly closed, for example the garden, he quickly offered an excellent alternative program. His knowledge, flexibility, and friendly manner made the day very enjoyable. All our questions and points of interest were answered in detail, and we learned a lot about the city and its people.
Copenhagen guided boat trip.
