Easy fun cruising - Canal tour and harbor was great. We were able to see many sights and were given historical information and fun facts. The boat was covered so we were able to stay dry since it had been raining. It’s unfortunate there was a family onboard that was very loud and spoke over the tour guide and didn’t respect the other passengers as we tried to listen to the tour guide. It was disruptive. It’s too bad the two parents are teaching their children to be rude by their example.

Great tour, great guide. - We spent a few days in CPH and not sure why we left this for our last day, but the tour was really informative and the guide - Peter - pointed out all the sites from the water with a great deal of proficiency and, importantly, humor. Made it memorable. We took the slightly longer tour and it was a great value for the money.

Good tour with great views - We booked the 2.45 pm tour and the departure point was changed due to high tide. Thanks to trip advisor we got several emails with the info so h there was no problem. Our tour guide Shannel was an enthusiastic and animated narrator and spoke good English. Learned some interesting facts about the city. It was good to see several modern buildings in northern town. Some people brought their lunch and drinks and enjoyed during the cruise. The seats are comfortable and set up like dining tables. The toilet was out of service, so check before drinking your beer. Boat is heated and you can slide open thy e windows if you like

Great tour! - Great tour - well worth it! Very informative and gave us a different view of Copenhagen. We had the benefit of clear blue skies which definitely helped too.

Copenhagen sept 2025 - Loved Copenhagen, tasty food can recommend the Social brew breakfast, all fresh food used, the coffee was very good too Stopped at the Steel house which we enjoyed had the room to ourselves, clean and modern, nothing was too much trouble, very helpful, they have a swimming pool. Found Copenhagen quiet and clean, the air was clean and are leaders in the world with renewable energy, so many cafes with good food and less shops with chocolate 🍫 really good

A pleasant cruise. - The cruise through the canals and waterways of Copenhagen is very pleasant with an excellent audio commentary. The boat was comfortable and provided very good views and on board refreshments were also available.

Be sure you’re on the exterior of the boat if otherwise you miss a lot under the covered area. - Very knowledgeable guide. Just be sure to be in the open area and not under the covered area or you’ll miss a lot of the views.

Nice and interesting. - Very nice walk with an interesting guide. In English, too bad not to have an audio guide in other languages, because it speaks a bit fast! Show Copenhagen from another angle.
