Beautiful cruise to see all the sights. Guide was very informative and gave great recommendations of other things to see in Copenhagen. The tour covered a large area and shared historical and cultural sites of the city. Comfortable sites and even in January was warm enough with the ability to open and close the window.

The best thing about our canal cruise was the live guide. We sadly forgot his name but he was very entertaining, nice and funny. It was a guy with longer blond hair in a bun (if that helps). The weather was beautiful and 1 hour was enough to get a better hold of the city and its buildings and architecture. The guide explained everything in English and Danish and always had a good joke in his pocket. The only thing that could be improved is the signs for directions and description on where to go after you bought your ticket at the beginning of the canal.

Pas de possibilité de noter les points à améliorer ! Le sont dans les oreillettes n'était pas vraiment fort même en augmentant au maximun . Mais un très bon point de permettre la visite dans d'autres langues que danois et anglais.

It was a fun way to see parts of Copenhagen. Wish we had known to sit on the right side of the boat - most sights were on that side. Loved going under the low bridges.
