See Copenhagen’s top sights by foot and ferry in a small group with a local guide.
This guided walking tour of Copenhagen includes highlights, hidden gems, and a 25-minute ferry ride mid-tour — a scenic break through the city’s historic canals.
We begin with a 1 hour walk past major landmarks and lesser-known corners, before boarding the electric harbor ferry. Your guide shares local stories, history, and points out must-see sights along the water.
After the ferry ride, we continue for another hour on foot, passing the beautiful star-shaped 1600s fortress and the Little Mermaid. A short café stop offers time to rest and chat before we reach Amalienborg Palace.
The 9:00 AM tour ends with the full Changing of the Guards at 12.00.
The 1:00 PM tour includes a smaller version of the Changing of the Guards.
If the ferry is full or out of service (rare, mostly on weekends), we follow the scenic walking route along the canal instead — still covering the full route, just with 2 extra km.

We had such an amazing time! A lot of great information was given. It's helping us decide the things we'd like to do for the remainder of our stay. The ferry ride really added to the experience.
