Great tour, our guide Jonas was really friendly and knowledgable. We were a bit nervous about the social sailing aspect, but it really made the tour more interesting to learn about the others on the boat. Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Our guide, Nicolai, was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, well educated, articulate and has the social skills to draw the shy guests into the conversation. He took us to walk around the German camp from WWII many people from CPH haven’t visited. We went around the harbor to see the latest in architecture and down the canals to hear tales of the Kings Fredericks and Christians from 400 years ago and current stories of the boats moored. It was fascinating to learn how the modern Danes are recycling garbage into electricity and managing codes to adapt old buildings to current uses. It was a fun and informative 3 hour tour that exceeded our expectations.

This was an excellent tour. This surpassed our expectations by far and really added to our experience of the city. It was a great balance of modern architecture and historic. The guide was very knowledgeable about all the sights along the canal and also general information about the city. We did this tour on our first day in Copenhagen, and that helped us figure out what we’d do on the rest of the trip. The guide gave us a lot of helpful information.

A very interesting and informative trip led by 2 very entertaining young men. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hour boat trip, and the wander around the fortress.
Pauline H.
We got the 4pm canal tour so it was dark which was great. We sat outside and not too cold. Knowledgable host
Judith H.
Great tour on a blustery day, seeing more of Copenhagen from the water that we saw on foot, with a great tour guide.
Jeffrey G.
Great tour! We went in December and it was cold, but there was a nice covered heated area to sit in. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer additional questions. Our kids (ages 11 and 7) had fun and learned a lot about Copenhagen. Even if your kids weren’t interested in the history, there’s lots to look at and you go under a lot of cool bridges.

Despite the very cold Danish weather with a bitter wind we had a very pleasant trip on the canals . We had hot drinks heated seats and blankets to help to keep warm . Our guide was great , pointing out everything of interest along the way in an upbeat manner and answering any questions we had . I recommend this trip early on in your visit if it’s the first time in Copenhagen as it gives you a really good perspective of the area to plan other activities.
