Wonderful, relaxed and informative 3 hour boat tour off the beaten track. Loved it. You can purchase beers and wine on board. We had a great time and so pleased we chose a small boat. The captain Josephine was fantastic! Thank you

The guides, Capt. Rasmus & First Mate Elias, were really awesome. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful navigating the old stairs at our stop at the old Fort (very kind). The sights were amazing & the beer on board was terrific. Fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend!

Full description

Discover Copenhagen on this unforgettable canal tour and break the ice with fellow travelers along the way. Head off the beaten track to see some of the city's best-hidden gems in either the North or South Harbor.

Make a brief stop at the fortress on Trekroner Island, where the past and future collide. See the first land reclamation of Lynetteholmen—the future island of Copenhagen. Continue to Nordhavn and admire the modern part of Copenhagen from the water.

A very interesting and informative trip led by 2 very entertaining young men. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hour boat trip, and the wander around the fortress.
