    Great way to see the key sights of Copenhagen and learn about their history. Would have been nice if we could get off at a couple of key spots like the little mermaid. But apart from that, the experience was nice. Our guide was really informative and made sure we had some good laughs!

    We only had 24 hours to explore Copenhagen and in my opinion the boat tour covered all the Copenhagen basics (even got to see the Mermaid statue!). If you don’t have a lot of time to spend in Copenhagen then this boat tour is definitely a must! Had the best time!

    Comfortable ride with lots of interesting information about Copenhagen and its history. Our tour guide was super nice and funny. The boat was covered and the seats were heated. But you could also slide the windows aside to look and take pictures in all directions. A wonderful tour for the price!
