This was a great cruise for the value. It was a great way for first timers to Copenhagen to get a real feel and look at the beautiful canals and theunique Copenhagen, architecture. The crew Ricardo, the captain and I believe Stephen Our live. Narrator were fantastic in describing everything you needed to know about Copenhagen. The canals and waterways were beautiful. It was a great experience for our first day in Copenhagen.

really easy to book, however tickets only came through 5 minutes before setting off time, and this was pushed on urgent as I had to message on the chat a few times! however they did iterate they would accommodate if i missed it due to this. the trip itself was absolutely lovely, we had the audio trip and it was perfect listening at your own pace, not having to interact, so it was really relaxing

Buying the ticket online and the tour itself were great. The tour staff were very informative, always friendly, and helpful. The tour itself was definitely worth it and well worth seeing. I would definitely take this tour again.

It helped us to know something about the history and layout of the city. We saw castles, opera and theater buildings, residences, military vessels, and so many villages. Our guide Katrina was quite knowledgeable.
