Did I mention that the actual Shakespeare play, Hamlet, is presumably set in Kronborg Castle? Our trip was timed for us to see part of the play - the final scene, the sword fight between Hamlet and Laertes, was in the grand ballroom!! So fun! Also, our guide was happy to change my drop-off place to accommodate my plans.

Do not use this company. We mistakenly thought it was the official HOP ON/HOP OFF bus company we…read morehad enjoyed in other cities. It is NOT. We were told the tour would be 1 1/2 hours long. 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.

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.

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!

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 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!

I've brought a couple others there and they enjoyed it as well, even made new friends on the boat with other patrons, then continued on a bar crawl with them! It's a fun scene on The Tipsy Mermaid.

You can never be sure of the weather in Copenhagen and it was supposed to be sunny but wound up raining and cold. We asked for a refund and they said they don't give refunds even if it's raining. Had we known that we wouldn't have bought tickets in advance which you have to do if you want to get a boat on most days. How can you refuse refunds for boat rides that won't be bought by anyone else because it's raining? The first theft! We were told that they were watching the weather and the rain would stop in about 20 minutes but it never did. It got lighter for a short while and we saw other people with ponchos coming back. We'd spent almost $300 on the trip so rather than lose the money we decided to go out thinking the rain would let up, it didn't. So we asked for 3 of the ponchos we saw other people wearing. They said sure and pulled out three tiny packets of the thinnest cheapest plastic ponchos that didn't go past your butt and THEY CHARGED US $6 FOR EACH ONE!! The second theft! Talk about adding insult to injury these scumbags capitalize further on their non refundable boat rides by charging you more money for what is essentially the thinnest cheapest plastic garbage bags with a hole on the end and a hood that doesn't cover your head. Guarantee you these ponchos cost them about 30 cents a piece yet they charge the ridiculous sum. At the very least if you won't refund my money give me the crappy plastic poncho for free. Absolute scumbag move. On top of all that they hardly give you any instructions except forward, reverse and then tell you that if you hold the rudder slightly wrong the whole thing will pop out of the mechanism which it did multiple times when we were underway. Horribly unsafe. I can't believe this place has decent reviews on here or that it's still open. If you insist on going just please don't book in advance or you'll quite possibly have an experience as bad or worse than ours. And also if you want a better trip don't use a boat with hand rudder. They have other boats with steering wheels which are probably better but I bet if you turn them to far to the right the whole helm collapses!

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.
