Informative tour, enjoyed the experience! You’ll get to see interesting parts of Copenhagen. They even sell you a glass of Carlsberg which made the canal tour even more iconic. Do try to go early, and check the schedule — it’s different locations for the tour depending on timing. We realised we went to the wrong point at Nyhavn when our tour schedule was near Gammal Strand. Luckily we had time to walk over and make it in time for the tour.
