Excellent Canal Tour - We took this same tour a few years ago and did it again this year with other family members. It was a great tour, the staff were friendly and helpful, and we recommend it to others.

Good copenhagen orientation tour! - Confirming which boat we were supposed to be on was not easy the address does not match anything that we could find. It all worked out OK and the tour itself was a perfect orientation to Copenhagen. Well worth the cost.

Great way to see the city! - We did this while on a cruise and only had one day in Copenhagen. It was a great way to see the city when you have limited time.

Do not book with this company - Not a great experience at all. We’d booked tickets ahead of time but on the day, that didn’t matter because people could buy tickets at the counter and by the time it came to our turn to take a seat, there were hardly any spaces left. The guide couldn’t be heard at the back as the motor was very loud and therefore we had no audio. Plus, she didn’t speak English clearly and so it was tricky to make out what she was saying. I suggest you pay a little more through another company
