Our boat was covered, which was fortunate given the rainy weather. We stayed warm, but could still pull down the windows to take photos. The Italian audio guide was very accurate and clear. A beautiful tour of the canals, very long! We saw the siren and all the neighborhoods.

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.

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.

Enjoyed every second of it. It was all thanks to the boat guide Deborah for her very amusing and amazing delivery. Its like watching a live comedy and discovery channel combined!
