If you travel to Copenhagen during summer (late june to mid september) DO NOT expect to “just hop on a canal tour”. It gets extremely crowded and even when the boats go every 20 minutes, you will be in line for at least 40min. (and most likely more).
You can’t pre-book a ticket as it’s first come first serve.
📣Pro tip: go on the first tour of the day at 10am. The boats are never full.
Depending on season the boats will run from 10am to 7pm."

"Doing a boat tour is a must if you plan on visiting Copenhagen! We chose to go with Canal Tours Copenhagen as it was very affordable! It was approximately $20 CAD per person and I had picked up 20% discounts at my hotel’s lobby so it ended up costing us $16 CAD each!
On this 1-hour boat tour, you will navigate along the canals and Harbor waters. You will pass landmarks such as the Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid statue, the Opera House, the Christianshavn neighbourhood with its colourful houses and houseboats. Provided with the tour are headphone sets for you to listen to the tales about the city and its landmarks. This cruise has lots of different start times and in the winter or when it rains, the boats are covered and heated . The departure points are Ved Strand and Nyhavn."

"🇬🇧
A canal tour is an excellent way to experience the beauty and charm of Copenhagen from a different perspective. The city is crisscrossed by picturesque canals, and taking a boat tour allows you to enjoy stunning views of Copenhagen's waterfront, historic buildings, and landmarks.
During the canal tour, you can relax on the boat as a knowledgeable guide provides interesting commentary about the city's history, architecture, and notable sights. You will pass by iconic landmarks such as the Little Mermaid statue, Christianshavn, the colorful Nyhavn district, and the Royal Opera House, among others.
The costs are different basing on which guide you are choosing :
The classic canal tour (1hour) = 109 DKK
Grand Canal Tour (1.45h) = 199DKK
