Perfect 1 hour trip on the canal with a guide who explained things nicely. I enjoyed that there were two options for seating, either outdoors where you can see better or indoors where it is heated and even indoors you could lift up the windows to improve your view. Really cute activity especially for your first day in the city in order to get an overview of Copenhagen.

Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Excellent multiple language skills. We arrived very early and they were very accommodating allowing us to get on an earlier boat because there was space. It was no problem. Great to have so many places identified and it allowed us to decide where we wanted to investigate further.

Meeting at the boats directly at the top. A really fun and great way to see the sights around the canals. Our guide was funny and provided great information. Definitely worth the price!

Very nice canal tour, to see Copenhagen from another perspective. It is possible to get in line directly to get on the boat, showing the booking voucher at the reception.

Really enjoyed the bus and boat tour. Would have liked the top off the bus since it was a lovely day, but other than that, everything was great.
