Copenhagen Panoramic City Tour with Harbor Cruise

We have recently returned from holiday where we stopped off in Copenhagen for the day and had booked this tour. We enjoyed the tour overall and found it to be informative. However, the starting point of the bus tour was not clear and we only discovered the coach by chance. We would recommend that anyone purchasing this tour is given much more specific directions for where the coach stop is as there is nothing signposted in the square to indicate this. The tour guide gave us a good background to the history of the monuments and places we were visiting, but he spent a huge amount of his time emphasising the importance of punctuality in returning to the coach between each stop, which got a bit annoying after a while! Surely pointing it out once should suffice. We were also taken to the sight of the Little Mermaid statue, but the harbour cruise also took us there, so we didn't see much point in the duplication, especially as the tour guide had stressed how underwelming this statue was! When visiting the royal palaces we were hanging around for quite some time to watch the changing of the guard, but this wouldn't have been sufficient time to explore the area or any open buildings in the area had we not wanted to watch the changing of the guards. The tour guide also gave us conflicting information about one of the 4 palaces which he said was used as a library. When someone in the group questioned why it had the royal flag flying above it, he couldn't explain why, as he said it wasn't a residential building. However, later on, when on the harbour cruise, the tour guide pointed out that the palace with the royal flag above was used as a palace for visiting guests! So we don't know who was right and who wasn't! The final stop of the coach tour was the opera house, which was closed to visitors and once viewed from the outside, there wasn't much else to see, and we had more than sufficient time to view the outside and harbourside surrounding it. Perhaps the coach tour could have included more stops, as the majority of the tour was viewed from the coach windows, and therefore we couldn't really take photos. The cruise tour was more of a highlight for me and the guide was very informative, and packed in far more information about the surroundings than the coach tour guide. The scenery was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed cruising through the waterways of Copenhagen.

It was a nice tour , we just loved it . The canal cruise was really good and the guide is very knowledgeable .

Guides were excellent. Bus section worthwhile. Don't sit in centre of boat as people stand and view is then blocked.

The tour seemed fine when it started, but if you buy a boat ride also the company leaves you there so you must find a way to get back on your own. We were just starting the tour when they stopped to let us off for the canal ride. We never finished since they would not return to pick us up. Buy the tour separately.

Not enough time with tour guide. Need better place to meet. Needed to see more before taking Cruise.

This was a wonderful experience. Great guides. English is outstanding. What views ! Very pleased we did this tour. Be prepared for water and cooler temps.

The tour arranged through Stromma Copenhagen,had very unhelpful guide and very unfriendly .In addition they left us at the harbor without dropping us at the pick up site.This was very inconvenient and we had to walk a lot. I will never book a tour with Stromma Copenhagen in future.

We were supposed to meet the tour at 11 am. Hotel desk said it would take less than five minutes to get there. We left 20 minutes early but got stuck in traffic and didn't make it to the tour stop until 11:08 and the but was gone. Obviously they didn't care that a lot of construction was going on and someone might be late. And we were four people! I guess that Viator in Copenhagen doesn't give a hoot about the customer. Not a good thing.

Great tour for visitors to wonderful Copehagen! The tour takes you through the city and stops at major tourist attractions including The Little Mermaid, home of the Danish Royal family Amalienborg, and the modern Opera house. Our guide Teddy is very knowledgeable of this fabulous city. Because the tour group size can be large, please be considerate of fellow travelers and be back on the bus on time. We also did the Harbor cruise which provided another perspective of this lovely city. Tour of Copenhagen by land and sea is a fabulous way of enjoying this gem in Scandinavia!

We went to the designated meeting place to start our tour, and found a dozen or more other people standing around with tickets for the tour in their hands also. No bus to be found. We looked a block down the street and saw a bus sitting there, and upon approaching the bus, we were told it was the bus for the tour. When I asked the tour guide why the bus wasn't at the designated meeting place, she said they did not have a parking spot there. Poor excuse. I'm don't know if anyone else has had this problem with finding the tour bus. When you visit the various places listed on the tour - you just drive past all of them, except you do get off the bus to see the changing of the guard. When it was time for the canal/harbor cruise we had to wait in line with others that had purchased tickets for the gray line cruise. I was under the impression that we would have a boat waiting just for our group once the bus tour was done. The canal/harbor cruise did NOT go down Nyhavn canal. Very disappointed in this tour.

I booked my tour before leaving the U.S. and Viator emailed instructions on where to meet the tour bus. The instructions were inadequate to say the least. We walked for about 45 minutes asking before we left the hotel where we were to meet the bus and people on the street along the way. Nobody seemed to know where City Hall was. The instructions said to meet under the tower, which was impossible because the tower was on the side of a building. You could not get under it.. The instructions also said the bus would say something entirely different than what was on the bus when we finally found it. It was a good thing we started out early or we would have missed the tour. There were 4 of us together. Once we found the right place and the right bus, the tour was very nice. It was a great way to see the city on land and on the water. I would recommend the tour. It was a good value for the money. I would, however, recommend that you consider picking up people unfamiliar with the city at their hotels.
