Very pleasant experience (in good weather). Lightly informative narration - but visually engaging. Very professional boat crew. No complaints.
So much to see

The Captain and the Tour Guide were friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely large boat and an hour was perfect.
A good ride!

It was chilly, but a good ride. It would've been better to have a live guide giving context (rather than a recording), since there was a staff person on the boat already and giving instructions to keep our heads down when going under bridges. It was a little bit of attention war between the recording and her (and she was fun - would have rather had info coming from her).
Wonderful time.

Excellent commentary. Comfortable seats all facing the front, so don't have to twist. Great view of everything. Take a jacket as can get chilly on the water.

Enjoyed this harbor tour offering a unique perspective of Copenhagen from the water. I much prefer the human guide as opposed to headphones.

Fun canal ride through Copenhagen. Weather was not very cooperative but the boat’s windows were down, helped to keep warm. Nice to see sights from the water!
Don’t waste your time.

They call it ‘canal tour’, but only go into canals at low tide. And, no, they don’t tell you this until you are underway. No live guide, just a guy that spent entire time in cockpit chatting up the (female) captain. To make it an hour (since the route was drastically shortened and included only the harbor) they ran 5 knots and the recorded message came on about every 5 minutes. Total waste of time and $.
Great way to see Copenhagen on sunny day

It was a sunny chilly day on the water so pleasant. Enjoyable way to see Colgate in boat on the canal. Only an hour with earplugs for narration. Boat is fully open so go when warm or sunny unless you love the cold

Very nice tour by boat. Sometimes the explanation is not well understood owv noise of engine. No personal explanation, just a tape being played.

Such a great way to see the city. The windows on the boat open so you still get great pictures, even when it is raining and you want to sit inside. We enjoyed seeing Copenhagen from this perspective. Great way to balance out all the walking at the end of the day!
