It ended up being three hours due to a bike race in town. They should have known this and advised us. Also, due to other same race, they eliminated three stops on the tour. Their onboard commentary was very lacking in information. Our driver was nice but always chose to inform us of stops while the on board tour tape was giving us their paltry information. Of course we couldn't hear either very well. A very frustrating experience. I have asked for a partial refund but am not hopeful of receiving any. Look for the official tour bus. Now that I know there are lesser ones around, I will be more careful in the future.

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.

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.

She went incredibly fast around the town and did not confirm the level of biking one should have. We definitely thought the tour should include more information about the culture and food and did not stop everywhere that was suggested. We didn't stop at the Brewery as noted in the description and sped quickly back to our final destination. We ended at a location where addicts can safely go in and use drugs. While I appreciate the concept, ending the tour in this way didn't really close our experience as expected. Our tour guide was newly relocated to Copenhagen, and while friendly she did use profanity often, mentioned the winter weather makes you want to "ki** yourself and smoked cigarettes. Overall we did feel the price we paid for the private tour was way too high and wasn't worth the cost. We would recommend renting bikes and going on your own. Save the cost for another tour. I wrote the owner to express my concerns and he offered bikes to rent but we had already left. Then I responded and never heard from him again until he answered my tour review saying we were late because we stopped to face time. This is not true at all. My husband faced time my son while I was waiting in a very long bathroom line, which I was thrilled to have found because the guide never even asked if we had to use the restroom. When I said I was using one, she goes "oh ya that's good to use now I didn't think about a bathroom stop" / so it seemed clear to use this was a new tour for her. Yes she lived in Copenhagen for 6 years but there is no way this tour was around for more than a few weeks, if that. And I fully support new ideas but more thought has to be given when guiding people privately who paid over $500 for 2 people.

It's really a great way to take in the culture of the city that you're visiting while also familiarizing yourself with the area. We booked the "Grand Tour of Copenhagen" ahead of time to ensure a tour in English for that day. The tour can also be joined last minute depending on availability. The biggest draw is that the actual tour is free. You're just paying the gratuity to your guide at the end of it all. We met our guide at the steps of City Hall. Just look for the guides with bright green umbrellas. I say this because there are other free walking tours that meet up at similar locations within the square. Wayne checked us in and suggested that we take a look around inside City Hall before the start of the tour. It was a great suggestion as we probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise. It was a great introduction! Wayne was very informative throughout the tour. He pointed out things that we wouldn't have noticed right away. We learned about the culture, government, history, and even the language. He taught us all a few basic Danish words to help us with greeting people. He was great! It's a nice short tour that takes up only about 2.5 to 3 hours of your time. The pacing of the walk is perfect. There are cobblestone streets and bike lanes to navigate through, but otherwise it's an easy walk. Our tour ended at Amalienborg Palace. The only thing that would make the tour better is the timing of it. An early morning tour that ends right before the changing of the guard ceremony would be ideal. However, this might not be possible due to the time given after the tour for those with last minute questions or needing recommendations. That's totally understandable. Otherwise, it was time very well spent. Highly recommended!

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.
