Knowledgable guides - This was a great canal tour. The guide provided a lot of information about all the sights visible from the canal and harbor. The extra harbor tour was very good. I can highly recommend this.

Relaxing informative cruise - Fantastic relaxing and informative local cruise for first time visitors to Copenhagen. Highly recommend as this option has wind and rain protection which is key here because the weather can be ever changing.

Great way to see the city and surrounding areas with a great commentary - There are various companies that offer tour of the canal areas that bow I went onto had a covered roof with the option of going outside at the back. This is obviously the best option in inclement weather. The tool was extensive through the various areas, residential commercial and central areas. A commentary was given in English which was very good and informative. It gave an overall good overview of the area and was well worth the money. The captain was very skilled navigating a low bridges and performing a 90° tight turn with ease .

A great cruise - Great cruise. Excellent guide. One hour was just right. This is just padding to fill out the right number of words. Oops, need some more.

Nice interesting tour - Lots of interesting views. We got a very different impression of Copenhagen than if you were just walking through the city centre.

Before you do anything else in Copenhagen do this trip - it is worth every Kr but if you sit to the rear it can be difficult to hear the guide luckily we had the assistance of a History teacher from Jutland who wanted to practice his English

Excellent and authentic way to see Copenhagen - Opted for the longer cruise with Stromma, and well worth it. Our 21 yr old recently tore her ACL so fantastic way to see so many sites, and beautiful day on the water. Guide was in English and Danish, impressive he got in everything in two languages. Great close up views and way to see neighborhoods as well as hear a lot about Copenhagen and Denmark. Highly recommend! Family of four with two adult children, 18 & 21.

A very long walk - It’s a long way to walk from the cruise terminal. Taxis are not readily available. Book via your cruise line for transport
