Great Experience
KAREN S,Jun 16, 2026

4.00We had a very enjoyable time. We were actually early and there was no problem joining an earlier canal cruise. Our guide gave a fabulous commentary, giving a great insight into the life of the city. It was also interesting to see places from the boat. It was a very chilly summer day but we still found the time very worthwhile.
First day in Copenhagen

3.00We were allowed to hop on the earlier boat which was great. We found it difficult to hear the live tour guide at times. Our window didn’t open unfortunately and it was difficult to see out of the other side when sights were on that side. Gave us a good oversight of the layout of Copenhagen and I am glad we did it. We saw the back of the little mermaid and we saw where Christiana town is which we later went back to explore. Overall good experience just a shame we couldn’t hear all of the info.
Nice short tour on Boat

Awful guide

1.00Incomprehensible Guide What a waste of time….. In a country where they speak impeccable English to have a guide who has such a strong accent over a poor speaker system was truly awful. From what I could Understand she barely knew any history or had any cultural insight. Take a bike tour….
A really pleasant tour of Copenhagen for travellers

4.00This open top boat is the best way to cruise the canals of Copenhagen. We were lucky to have good weather however would recommend jackets as it was quite windy in parts.
Worth the trip
