Walk & Ferry: Copenhagen Highlights + Change of Guards Finale
Overview

To celebrate spring — and the love we’ve received since launching in January — we’re offering 15% off our most popular tour as a thank-you for the amazing support.
See Copenhagen’s top sights with a local guide, a 5 km walk, and a ferry ride through the historic harbor.
We begin with a 2 km walk featuring big highlights and hidden gems.
Then we board the electric public ferry for a 25-minute cruise — your guide shares stories and points out landmarks.
After the ride, we continue past the Citadel and the Little Mermaid.
Before reaching Amalienborg Palace, we pause for a short café break to recharge.
The 9:00 AM tour ends with the full Changing of the Guards. Your guide will do their best to secure a great spot.
The 1:00 PM tour ends with a smaller version of the ceremony at the castle.
Should the ferry be full or not in service — a rare situation, mostly on weekends — we follow the scenic walking route along the canal instead, still covering the full itinerary (adds 2 km).

4.00Combination walking and ferry tour. The ferry portion is about 20 minutes in the middle of the tour which is a nice break. Very interesting discussion of Danish designers and the author Hans Christian Anderson.
Copenhagen on a layover!
