Fun way to visit and learn about both the history and architecture of the different districts of Copenhagen. Guide was great!
Our guide Peter was enthusiastic, professional and responsible! Nice itinerary, good info, to redo! Extremely windy and average weather, and nevertheless an excellent experience!
wonderful experience - paddled across the harbour and through several canals. Felt safe and comfortable in the kayaks - guide was friendly and informative about areas we were paddling through plus life in Copenhagen. Highly recommend.
This kayak tour was a wonderful way to view this beautiful city from the water. It provided great perspective and was a lovely way to get a little exercise, too. Our guide was very nice and happy to answer our questions.
I went on the evening kayaking tour with my daughter. It was well organised and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were the only 2 people on the tour that evening and I think it might have been better in a group with a few more people. We enjoyed it though.
Excellent 1-1/2hr private kayak tour with Anders. We are a family of 4 with 2 grown children. We toured Copenhagen harbour and went around Christianshavn Kanal with Kajakhotellet. It was a very nice and unique way to see the city before touring around on foot. The pace was just right with occasional stops during which Anders explained some of the buildings and the local history (and gave us a bit of a rest - :)) Anders was calm and assured and always in control so we felt completely safe even with larger boats around. He was also polite and humorous so we ended the morning with smiles all round. Would definitely recommend.
This was such a fun way to see the city! Our guide was lovely and we just had a blast. The place was a little difficult to find, but if you go down the boardwalk a bit and see a bunch of racks of kayaks, that is the right place.
We had an absolute blast! The experience was so much fun, and our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a great time
Excellent way to see the city and get some exercise and fresh air. Liv, our guide, was excellent with the equipment and helping ua get kitted out and onto the water — and an informative companion during the trip, giving us a local’s perspective on the city and the water.
Thank you so much. I will pass on the information to Liv.
