It was such a good tour around the waterways of Copenhagen. You don’t just get the story of the city you get a unique friendly experience both with the captain and your fellow passengers. It is fun chatty and cozy not too many people on the boat we were 9. I can recommend to all visitors who don’t want to do the usual tourist tour but prefer to have a cozy friendly and enjoyable experience!

Jacob was a phenomenal captain. This was the perfect experience for my husband and I. It is unlike the large sightseeing boats with tons of people. It is intimate and the intention is to create a social environment with a small group, while on the water, which is exactly what happened for us. My husband is not generally a fan of anything that is meant to be “social” with strangers but we both felt this was one of our favorite experiences that we had in Copenhagen. Highly recommended!

Beautiful one hour boat tour. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Tour is booked as a 'social tour,' so be prepared to introduce yourself and share a bit about who you are. That said, within minutes, we were all chatting and enjoying the sights, our guides, and each. Beer and wine is offered, with an honor-system payment after. Great job to Hey Captain!

An absolute must do if visiting Copenhagen. A friendly and interactive experience. It's really good value for money. We had booked for later but was able to attend an earlier excursion by a simple enquiry, excellent customer service. We met a number of people from America and the UK. Lars, our guide, was a really nice down to earth guy, a fantastic tour.

This is a must-do when in Copenhagen. Great overview of the city and very knowledgeable guides. They also provided additional recommendations for things to do in Copenhagen. It is a more personal tour vs. the large canal tours and definitely worth the money.

Very enjoyable one hour tour with the lovely Captain Eric. There were two of us with a family of 5 adults from Spain and we had a great time chatting and laughing, as well as hearing information and stories from the Eric. Highly recommended!

We so enjoyed the time on the boat with Mangus! He offered great information regarding history, architecture and culture of Copenhagen. It really gave us an amazing perspective of the life style and culture of the area. He was engaging and helped the group bond with interesting exchanges and perspectives…Look at the clean water right out of the canal! How impressive is that???
