Amazing boat tour of Copenhagen

5.00Andreas was a wonderful tour guide for my family. He met us promptly at the agreed pick-up point, and warmly welcomed us onto his boat. He is very friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. It was a great tailored experience and we had lots of fun (including driving the boat). Definitely a highlight of our trip, and would recommend to others.
Private Copenhagen Boat Tour on board the Cici.

5.00Our little boat tour around Copenhagen was a very pleasant journey - Mainly because of our Captain - knowledgeable, friendly, open to questions. He provided us with a perspective on Copenhagen that we wouldn't have received on our own or with a larger tour group. The Cici is a treasure as well for people like us that have an interest in boating. December may not be the most optimal time to tour given the cooler weather but the lack of boat traffic made up for any other inconvenience. Overall, this tour is a winner and worth the investment in time and $.
A must Do!

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.
