This was a nice break from walking all day. Nice sights seen along the canal. Downside was we could not hear the guide, we sat on the back of the boat and the motor was louder than he was. Besides that it was an enjoyable hour!

Great way to see the city and areas that you may not see otherwise. Very knowledgeable guide with a lot of good information about current and historical events. This city feels a little like Amsterdam or Venice with all the canals.

Great tour! Well worth doing even if you have limited time in Copenhagen as it covers a lot of the areas and the Little Mermaid statue.

Presume it’s due to the time of year but open part of boat in back not accessible, so unless you get a window seat you can’t really get photos. I arrived 15 mins early, but would suggest trying for 30mins so that you can get on the boat first to get a seat. Also, when boat revs it’s slightly hard to hear. But nice trip and allows you to pick places you’d like to go back to, walking

Nice experience to do the first day you arrive in Copenhagen, to get an idea of how the whole city develops.

The tour was cancelled due to weather and the operators didn’t bother to tell us. We travelled to the meeting point to then be told it was cancelled. They offered us tickets for the hop on hop off bus which we had already done to get to the boat tour… We asked for a refund to be told they couldn’t give us one and we would have to organise it ourselves.
