Well, it went really well because we asked for an upgrade to the 1-hour-and-45-minute tour on a covered boat since it was raining, and they gave it to us. The tour guide and entertainer on the boat was truly fantastic. He told us all sorts of interesting facts. It was the best boat tour I’ve ever been on.

    We really enjoyed this canal tour. There was far more to see than we expected. The route takes you through a great mix of old and modern architecture, and some of the narrower canals are surprisingly tight, with the boat squeezing under low bridges (so definitely follow the advice to remain seated!). The lady who welcomed everyone and explained the safety procedures was excellent – friendly, clear and made sure everyone was comfortable before setting off. We happened to go on a very hot day with little shade on the boat, but that’s just the nature of an open canal tour rather than a criticism. In fact, it added to the experience as hundreds of Copenhagen locals were lined along the canal edges sunbathing – it was almost like going seal watching! My only minor gripe was the audio headset. I found the narration a little quiet, even with the volume turned up to maximum, although that could just be down to my hearing rather than the equipment itself. Overall, a fantastic way to see Copenhagen from a different perspective and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.
