A really pleasant tour of Copenhagen for travellers

4.00This open top boat is the best way to cruise the canals of Copenhagen. We were lucky to have good weather however would recommend jackets as it was quite windy in parts.
Worth the trip

5.00Our tour guide Mortens kept us thoroughly entertained as we explored the canals of Copenhagen! It was useful to do early on as it provided a sense of the city and helped identify a few places to go. Was a fantastic tour to do and I thoroughly recommend to all.

4.00We wanted to experience Copenhagen from the water and the canal tour seemed like the perfect setting. The tour operator shared historical details and other information. We enjoyed the tour and learned about buildings, monuments, neighborhoods and cultural norms. It was a lovely evening out on the water and we would highly recommend the canal tour to take in the views of this beautiful city.

1.00They left before the time by one minute leaving my family behind this is ridiculous. I strongly recommend you avoid this untrustworthy provider.

4.00Tour guide, John, was great. Lovely tour thru the canals, but unfortunately, we saw most of the highlights yesterday on a guided bike tour. Still....very worth it!
Excellent way to see and understand the city

It would've helped if it...

3.00It would've helped if it was made clear when we needed to start using the headphones: there was a person using a microphone which it turned out was to ensure people were aware of bridges but we initially thought we needed to listen to him and didn't realise the commentary had commenced.
Excellent, worth every penny!

5.00Excellent, headphones broke and the captain did the history and all the talking himself it was much better than headphones. Only thing that spoilt it were the loud Spanish tourists, but nothing new there!
