DENMARK · COPENHAGEN CANAL TOURS

Nearly every visitor takes a canal boat and nearly every visitor is right to. The difference is the hull: open classic launches with a live guide, quiet electric boats with a roof, or a social sailing trip where you bring your own bottle.

“Despite the wind and rain we had a fabulous trip. Frederick and Victor were entertaining and very knowledgeable. Any complaints would be about the weather and beyond their control. We still managed to see a lot of Copenhagen with Fredericks skilful navigating. We enjoyed the socialising as well. Great concept introducing ourselves and we had fun chatting and learning from our fellow passengers. We highly recommend this tour and next time we are here we’d like to try it when it’s not raining.”
