Great tour on a blustery day, seeing more of Copenhagen from the water that we saw on foot, with a great tour guide.

We got the 4pm canal tour so it was dark which was great. We sat outside and not too cold. Knowledgable host

It’s was a lovely hour around the canals in Copenhagen, saw lots of interesting sights. What made it for us was the tour guide Morten, so funny , the perfect combination of humour and sarcasm. He made the tour hilarious . Loved it , highly recommend

Gives you a really good overview of the sites of Copenhagen and we were fortunate to have an excellent guide in Julie (will the man in yellow please sit down!!!) who was able to talk us through the history behind all the buildings, some of which we then went and visited on foot. Was an hour as indicated. If indoors then you may get a slightly more restricted view but still didn't spoil the experience.

Lovely boat trip. Left on time, saw another side of Copenhagen. English speaking guide - all very interesting!! Good value for money! Would definitely recommend!

The boat was comfortable and I think it took us round most of the sites but the tour guide wasn’t very good. It was difficult to understand him, the volume wasn’t loud enough and there was no animation in the voice of the tour guide.

It was impressive how much information was shared throughout the tour. Our guide was witty, funny, and full of energy the entire time. Appreciated the "heads-up" whilst going under low bridges :) The views from the water were wonderful and offered a completely different perspective that you just don’t get from land. The concession seller on shore was also very friendly. He was clearly very busy, but still polite and apologetic about the delays. I felt a little bad for one group that arrived just as the boat was preparing to depart. They mentioned they had one person still in the restroom, but the guide explained they needed to stay on schedule and couldn’t wait the few minutes. While I understand the importance of keeping to a timetable, waiting a minute or two for them would probably have had a minimal impact overall. Overall, it was a great experience and also family-friendly.
