It's a little chaotic purchasing riches because the boarding lines, the ticket lines, and the prepaid ticket people are all in the same area. Lines crisscrossing. It sends like it could be very easy door someone to cut in line, but they seem to think it works for them, so ok. The ride is about 45 minutes to an hour. It really helps having a lively guide because to be honest, there's not that much to see, at least not up close. But there are clever looking buildings, like the one that looks like Tobeleron. There are nearby floating bars and restaurants. And there's even a binge humbling place across the waterway. You get to see the little mermaid statue... but only from the backside!!!

We'd been on boat tours in other cities, and it's usually one of the best things we do. You see things not from the perspective of a motor vehicle on a highway, or a train moving down the track, but rather as people did hundreds of years ago when moving across the sea or through waterways. The seats were ok, not the most comfortable, but not bad. The narration in English was excellent. I could put up many photos and a few videos of tight under-bridge passages, beautiful buildings, interesting boats, and so on. I'll leave that task to others, and keep my review uncluttered. Boat rides are great fun, young or old, no matter the level of fitness. Avoid the heat of the day, maybe aim at the final cruise of the day, and I believe you'll enjoy it.

The ubiquitous double-decker red buses you see in most big cities exist in Copenhagen as well. In…read moreaddition to the city tours, you also get access to a boat ride as well. Don't be fooled by the "24 hop on hop off bus and boat tour" verbiage, as the huge asterisk here is you only get ONE boat ride. So, if you jump off somewhere that looks interesting, you can't ride another boat- unless you pay. The previous complaints I read before writing this review all pointed to lack of communication and bus availability, which I had no problems with. I do think the price of $40 USD for 24 hours is pretty steep, taking into consideration this is Copenhagen, and almost everything is expensive- it seemed pretty normal. The hop on hop off bus tour is the same as it is everywhere else. You basically pick a line (Copenhagen has the red, blue and green lines), depending what looks interesting to you. The most popular (and one we took) line is the red one, the "Mermaid tour", which naturally stops at the Little Mermaid statue (underwhelming, yet required if visiting). There is free Wi-Fi on the bus, as well as free headphones, in which you can listen to commentary (in ten different languages) of the history and sites as you pass them. We didn't have any problems finding or waiting for a bus, and the river boat ride was most definitely the highlight. It was really cool to see the city from that perspective, and how all the locals were enjoying the supposedly super rare sunshine-y weather they had that day (in June). I don't have any complaints about the bus, and I would take it again. Sure, it's touristy AF, but I was a tourist! Nowhere else could I get a quick tour of the city, with a pre-recorded explanation of it.

For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.

And under it, there are literal castle ruins from like the 1100s that you can walk through. Plus, the Danish royal family still uses parts of it for fancy events, so it's kind of like government offices + ancient history + royalty all stacked in one spot. Funny story. There's this extremely long dining table (see pics). You're not supposed to sit there but the tour guide said a family sat there to eat lunch one time.

We hadn't made a reservation since we weren't sure how jet lag would be affecting us, but the greeter was very welcoming and added the four of us to the English-speaking tour (it probably helped that we arrived 10-15 mins early). Weather was very nice and comfortable temps. Our tour guide, Wayne (I believe was his name), was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He walked us through many key spots around the city, provided lots of interesting points about the local history, architecture, and language, and helped us see things we never would have noticed otherwise! Such a beautiful city, hard to take it all in without some guidance. At the end of the tour, he pointed out a cute little establishment where we could get locally-sourced snacks, drinks, and trinkets, which I really appreciated since so many souvenir shops are just full of items made elsewhere. All in all a fabulous day exploring Copenhagen, highly recommend!

Our tour guide Rekka asked Daniel and we were waved to the group with our friends with a bit of disgust. Daniel then came to us and said with admonishment, "you have disrupted the group, I'm very disappointed!" It was rude. We followed for a bit and left altogether. Clearly we were being split because they didn't want us to enjoy it together since we didn't book a private tour. HORRIBLE!!

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!

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.
