The Canal Tours trip was better. But they ARE different and both are included on the Copenhagen…read moreCard! I had a full week in Copenhagen. The city is full of canals. I like being on the water. Put me on a boat so I can explore the city while also sitting for an hour or so and I am happy gal. So on my next-to-last day in the city, needing to kill a little time before a museum opened up, and wanting to rest my feet for a spell...I hopped on a Netto boat tour. Also...because I had already done the other boat tour included with the Copenhagen Card. The boats are a little dingier and dirtier than some other tour companies. And they pack the boats full. You may not have much personal space on a busy day. But you get a full circle tour of the city from the water and you get to be on a boat for an hour. So...*shrug* So I stand by the Canal Tours being much better. But I think as long as you get to do a boat tour during your time in town, any one will do.

"Look ma, I'm on a boat!"…read more No, it's not that kinda boat, but it serves its purpose and floating along Copenhagen's canals on a clear, crisp day is really romantic. SIGH. It's so romantic, we decided to kiss every time the boat goes under the bridge. And people! there are MANY bridges on this tour, over 20 in fact, but who's counting? If you're not a romantic, the practical purpose of this tour is to catch your bearings. Whenever I'm somewhere new, I always opt for the best mode of transportation to see the city. And here, it's best seen on the water. You'll pass the famous Little Mermaid, the impressive Opera House, the upscale Christianshavn neighborhood, Vor Freslers Kirke, etc. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and costs 60 Dkk (that's only $10!) and it's the best tour given in Danish and English. Don't go to the DFS company, they charge twice as much for the same exact tour.

Adorable hot tub, sauna, cold plunge experience in "Little Siberia" -- a more industrial area…read morefurther from town. Amazing in any weather, which is a bonus for Denmark. You sign up on time for a time slot. Be early or on time - times are strict for ending, so you just lose time if you're late. Show up, change into a swim suit, shower (it's very "fresh" lol), and then go enjoy! Sign up for the Hot Days for the shared, public experience that's most affordable and fun! You can also request and pay for private hot tubs and/or saunas. The cold plunges (3) are shared with varying temperatures. You can ask (if everyone in the tubs agree) to raise/lower the temperature pretty quickly. There are drinks available on site - beers, sparkling teas, kombucha, etc. Towels are included in the price, but you get it at the end. A perfect way to relax into any Copenhagen afternoon/evening, especially with the string lights!

I don't think the one other review for this place is really a fair review as the person never got…read moreto experience the place but came on here to share about not getting their refund because of COVID shutdown. I would agree that this business should have refunded them, so that was kind of crummy. I mean it's not like we have a pandemic everyday or that it was some BS excuse. I booked the 90 min HotDays experience which allows 5 people to book a tub (they don't have to be in the same group) and if there are 5 people booked, they do arrange for a HotDays experience, which is pretty good for 350DKK for 90 minutes, that's much cheaper than a similar indoors NYC experience I had recently, haha. Staff were very nice and bless their hearts today for working as it was about as nasty as it could get outside really. It was cold, very windy and rainy and the staff here basically had on waterproof snowsuits on and were all very chipper and helpful! We were shown to male and female changing rooms and also given a tour of the place. We were assigned a hot tub and then we were shown our communal sauna (electric) and the 3 cold plunge tubs available. Changing rooms were warmer and dry and served it's purpose. They asked us to only collect towels AFTER our experience and I appreciated that as you didn't see the place filled with dirty wet towels everywhere. I started off in the 100C sauna and my goodness it was hot with also 20% humidity. After about 10-15 min of this, I got pretty hot, so I took a dunk in the 4C cold plunge for about 10-15 seconds and then came back to the sauna. That was an amazing feeling honestly. Loved it! I did that for a couple of more cycles of hot and cold. Next, around the 45 min mark, I climbed into the hot tub and the other 4 people were already there. It was already quite cozy and 5 people is the max really. There is a slightly higher bench seating too and one of the girls opted to sit up there with some of her upper body exposed. The hot tub was at 40C and pretty warm and while the weather was just awful, siting in the hot tub made it so much nicer and even pleasant! I could have soaked for hours in that hot tub! By the 90 min mark, staff will come get you and then you're back to the changing room and voila! That's your 90 min experience and I loved every minute of it! Definitely give this place a try when in CPH even if the weather isn't great (actually that's the best time to come), they do on occasion shut down the business if weather is really crazy but I lucked out today. The place also sells drinks but I didn't buy any, I think its also BYOB, just check their FAQ on their website. No food though allowed in here and I didn't see anyone eating. We also know that cold plunge and hot sauna has health benefits so definitely come here to relax and also do something for your health! This was really the best way to ring in the New Year and I just couldn't have asked for a better day. The staff said that bad weather makes the experience all that much better and I would agree! And for the price of this experience, it's a steal with amazing views of urban CPH! I could see CopenHill from our hot tub and even the little lit up Xmas tree from the top. Was just lovely!

09/07/17 Copenhagen…read moreHop on Hop Off Boat Tour Our boat tour guide was absolutely amazing. He spoke at least 5 different languages well. Everyone on our tour was quite impressed with his ability to communicate in 5 different languages. I really wish I had gotten his name so that he could get Kudo's. (English: Atta Boy or High Praise). He was very knowledgeable about history, architecture and a little culture. We arrived in time to hop on this boat and to take it all around Copenhagen. Some of the things we got to see was the Little Mermaid, Paper Island, Christiansborg Palace, Gammel Strand, Nyhavn and much more. The little Mermaid has been vandalized a number of times. This year it was painted red by someone. The city had to restore her. The Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Anderson is not as big as you would think. But it is an icon of Denmark. This tour was around an hour. My family and I loved seeing all the sights and having the ability to hop on and off at will was a nice added touch.

We absolutely loved this boat tour during our time in Copenhagen. They offer three different tour…read moreoptions depending on how much time you'd like to spend on the water. We chose the two-hour tour, which felt like the perfect balance, not too short and not too long. While it is a bit more expensive than some of the larger boat tours, the experience is much more intimate. With a smaller group, it was easy to ask the captain questions and have meaningful conversations throughout the journey. One of the highlights was a brief stop at a historic military base, where we learned even more about Copenhagen's fascinating history. Along the way, we admired the city's stunning and unique architecture and, of course, made a stop at The Little Mermaid. Our captain, Aske, was one of the best tour guides we've ever had--friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, and full of great energy. If you're considering a boat tour in Copenhagen, we highly recommend this one. It was an unforgettable experience, and we learned so much about the city. You won't regret it!

We must have not realized this when we bought our tickets so part of this is on us.

First tip, book ahead. They will prioritize customers if you've booked so that they have a proper sized group. Second tip, don't go to the last tour of the day. I did that and unfortunately, it was a massive group of more than 50 for the English tour. This made for a less than ideal environment with too many people, too far from the tour guide and a slow progression through the city. I'm sorry to say that I left the group after the third stop. I still have high hopes for Sandemans and will be looking forward to using them when I get to Porto next month.

The tour started from a main attraction and took about 2h30. Our guide was not Danish but he knew a lot of cool and interesting facts about Copenhagen which made this experience much more interesting. If it's your first time in town and you are traveling solo this is a great way to meet people, discover Denmark's capital and main tourist attractions and, of course do some sightseeing. Don't forget to tip your guide accordingly to the experience you had. Their job is unpaid and they live off the tips they make with the tours. Hope Sandemans get to Brazil and other city capitals around the world soon - why not Stockholm guys? ;)
