5.00Our private boat tour with Andreas was hands-down one of the highlights of our time in Copenhagen! From the moment we stepped on board, Andreas made us feel so welcome. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, architecture, and hidden corners — sharing fascinating stories that really brought everything to life. Even though the weather was a bit chilly, the boat was cozy and sheltered from the wind, so we could just relax and take in the views. And what views they were — gliding past the colorful waterfronts, historic landmarks, and quiet canals was just magical. Andreas’ friendly personality and passion for Copenhagen made the whole experience feel personal and special. We left with such a deeper appreciation for the city and so many great memories. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough — an absolute must-do in Copenhagen! 🌊🇩🇰

5.00This excursion is a must do! Andreas is a wonderful guide. He takes you through Copenhagen’s rich history literally (water ways) and figuratively (historical background). It’s a beautiful, enriching experience not to be missed.
Great Experience!!

5.00Andreas was a great guide; knowledgeable and friendly. He had refreshments for us and comfortable boat - which was a great older, but well kept, Danish boat. This is a great small group tour that is very personal and a wonderful platform for conversation with a knowledgeable local. Highly recommend!

5.00It was a top notch experience exploring the wonderful city views from the boat with Andres. The motorboat was perfect size for two passengers and the captain. We could see from all sides as we cruised the city canals with its’ unique surroundings. There was good communication with Andres and he was exactly on time to meet us. He had full knowledge of Copenhagen’s history and had many intriguing stories to share. The boat brought us into areas that weren’t typically seen. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Andres. He was very polite, had a pleasant personality and easily handled answering our constant questions. I would certainly recommend taking this tour with Andres. It will be a real delight!!
