“Really enjoyed, was great to do first thing after we landed so we could gather our bearings round the city”
See Copenhagen’s top sights by open-air bus, then add a one-hour canal cruise for colorful harbor views and easy city orientation.

“Matthias was a great tour guide. Helped me on and off the boat even. Would definitely book with these people again.”
Glide through Copenhagen’s canals on a quiet electric boat, with local stories, heated seats, and a small-group feel from Ved Stranden.
“Smaller boat was wonderful to allow for questions and chatting amongst the guide and passengers. Nina was VERY information and personable. Definitely worth the extra cost for a more personal touch!”
Explore Copenhagen by double-decker bus and canal boat for 48 hours, with stops at Nyhavn, Tivoli, Christiania, Amalienborg, and the Little Mermaid.
“The boat tour was fabulous. The City tour is decent. Always a good way to get your bearings in a new city. But why all Hoho Companies make it so darn hard to get info online on bus stops and routes is beyond me. It’s good to know this when choosing accommodations.”
See Copenhagen by open-top bus and optional canal boat, with stops at Nyhavn, Amalienborg, Christiania, Tivoli, and the Little Mermaid.
“Copenhagen has 3 different hop-on/hop-off buses; all red with slightly different signage. This causes much confusion. This particular experience was basic. The river cruise is an optional extra and worth it. Try and get the first boat of the day because they fill up very quickly, especially if there are cruise ships in.”
See Copenhagen from old canals, Trekroner Fortress, Nordhavn, and future Lynetteholmen on a friendly three-hour social boat tour.
“The activity was great but we personally would have been happier with at least a half roof as it was too sunny for us. Fred the Captain was very knowledgeable & informative & kept the group lively. It was well worth the views of this city from the water! Keep it up always.”

See Copenhagen’s top sights from your cruise terminal, with royal palaces, Nyhavn, the Little Mermaid, and a guaranteed return to your ship.
“We had a private 10 person tour with Paul and he was awesome. He was so knowledgeable, read the group and what we wanted to see. He worked around the crowds, took us to amazing sites and really made it a super fun tour. Our shuttle bus was right there to pick us up for each time we got off the bus. Paul was so fun, and maximized our tour with as much as we could fit in. At the end he dropped us intown where he walked us to his favorite eat spots, make sure we were set before leaving.... I would highly recommend this tour and Paul. He…”
