Glide Copenhagen canals on an electric boat with live Danish and English storytelling, winter heated seats, and easy harborfront views.
“Loved the personal attention to questions we had about Copenhagen. Enjoyed the stories and information from Kim our guide. The little boat got into areas where the big tour boats could not go.”
A 48-hour Copenhagen hop-on hop-off bus and boat ticket with audio in up to 6 languages, plus classic sights like the Little Mermaid.
“The app was easy to use and price was good. I did panic when my tickets disappeared and we still had 24 hours left of a 48 hour ticket. It was lucky I saved them the to Google wallet as they needed to be scanned for each trip. I wouldn't use again. I would book while there.”
Copenhagen’s Red Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus hits top sights with multilingual audio, plus an optional Nyhavn canal boat add-on.
“Horrid, operator never responded to messages over past week, some stops were changed & had no clue where to board the boat. Storma was such a pleasant contrast”
A social 3-hour Copenhagen canal cruise with Trekroner fortress, Lynetteholmen land-reclamation sights, Nordhavn views, and friendly captain chat for $99.
“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.”
Self-drive a GoBoat in Copenhagen Harbor, learn the controls fast, pick your own route, and enjoy 1 to 3 hours of canal views.
“Great idea for friends and family. The boat was spacious with a table in the middle to buy snacks. The staff did a great job explaining everything, and we all had a great time on the water. 2 hours was definitely enough time to explore the canals and I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Copenhagen.”
