The strommer canal tour was excellent. The tour guide was very funny, engaging and a great singer. The tour shows many famous places in Copenhagen. The boat had good heating inside and windows to open for good photos. Well worth doing. Thankyou

The ticketing experience was easy and fast, so highly recommended! And what I loved the most about the experience itself was the good vibes both the guide (Mary) and the boat driver (Jorge) had, all the time smiling and spreading good energy! I would recommend it to everyone!

When we bought tickets, there wasn't any information about swimming competitions and that pick up point was changed in other place. So we had to rush to be there... It was not very nice.
