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.
