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.
