Copenhagen: Canal Cruise with Guide

1.Canal Cruise with Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 9,115 reviews · from $26Our pick

Cruise Copenhagen’s harbor and canals for one hour with an English or Danish guide, passing Christiansborg, Amalienborg, the Opera House, the Little Mermaid, and the old Stock Exchange. Guides such as Peter, Tony, Ali, and Kristian bring plenty of humor, while audio tours may offer several languages. The boat can feel exposed in bad weather.

“Our tour guide, if I caught her name correctly was Lola, if not I apologize, allegedly was her first day on the job but it seemed like she’s doing this thing like forever, she was knowledgeable and experienced. She also offered to give tips after the cruise in case anyone wanted. She made the cruise even better. The views from the cruise were gorgeous, with the canals and all the things we saw. Recommended for sure!”

“Our guide was friendly, knowledgable, and patient. It took one of us i.e. me, some time to get used to the coaster brakes but the cycling infrastructure is so good, it didn’t cause a problem. Fantastic way of seeing several of Copenhagen’s main attractions whilst gaining some insight into their history and that of the city in general. An excellent introduction to Copenhagen - thank you. Highly recommend.”

I was glad we accepted them because this really helped when it went raining. Driving the segways is relatively easy, also when it is your first time. I would recommend this to everyone!”

The bikes could be improved. Because I am not so tall, I had one of the old bikes and the seat was super uncomfortable.”
