What people are saying about Zealand

This was a great and educational tour! I would recommend showing up more than 15 minutes early though, as some people think it’s appropriate to split their group up so everyone gets a window seat, leaving the rest of the patrons to sit in the middle of the boat, and not get good pictures. Not an issue on the tours part, though!

I booked for 10 people and got the day wrong! We’d missed our booking but went to the booking office and very kindly they let us transfer the booking. The water was too high to go under the bridges so we ended up doing a harbour tour. The guide was very informative and amusing, we all had a lovely time.

The route was well planned and informative. Our guide Rene was attentive to our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Really good trip around Copenhagen- got to see a lot of sights and had a wonderful guide (Tony)

This could be done in one day, if you did not hop-off at too many locations.
