The experience with Red Sightseeing would have been great only for one thing that you failed to mention, drivers requires for us to literally have the physical ticket on board. It was crazy that we always have to pin point to them the part on the voucher (as I have the email from you and placed it on my Apple Wallet - not printed) where it says, their company name (to which it is understable for there were a number of different companies that does this, but truly annoying and so uncomfortable on our part). One driver even have to asked a partner in one of the stops to investigate us and our tickets if it is valid.

The buses could have run more frequently. We waited almost 30 minutes on one occasion. We saw on the map that there were three buses at the Little Mermaid statue. So the buses were there, but because each driver sets their own pace, they were very unevenly distributed throughout the city, which led to long wait times.

A nice ride. Just the right length. Good commentary, without the annoying music you sometimes hear elsewhere. The ride is worth it if you want to get a good overview and feel for Copenhagen when you're there for the first time.

We were picked up from our cruise ship and taken to the Little Mermaid. It was raining so they let us stay on board and we did the whole tour in one go. The tour guide was informative but the earphones were too big for my ears. We paid for 2 days so had a shuffle bus to and from the cruise ship.

If you don't have much time to visit the city, the bus is a great option. They run every 30 minutes, and you can get off whenever you want. Keep in mind that there are three companies operating the service, and it can be a bit confusing to figure out which one you're on until you find it. We really enjoyed it.

Design your perfect Copenhagen adventure with 24/48/72-hour hop-on hop-off access, giving you the freedom to explore top sights at your own pace.

See 22 sights on the Red route with departures every 30-60 minutes, visiting must-sees like Tivoli Gardens, Museum of Copenhagen, Rosenborg Castle, and the colorful Nyhavn.

Learn in the lingo of your choice with a 10-language audio guide, track your bus in real-time with the RED app, and soak up views from open-top double-deckers.
