Andreas offered a wonderful tour on his boat! He was an excellent tour guide and provided many interesting stories along the way. It was relaxing and interesting way to see Copenhagen!
We took the "Private Copenhagen Boat Tour"- and loved every minute! Our guide was Andreas, the owner - and he took us out on his boat the "cici" - hence Cici Tours! Honestly, Andreas couldn't have been more delightful - so charming, professional and knowledgeable about his city. We learned so much and loved the fact that that tour was private so we were able to ask so many questions. Don't hesitate to book this excursion, You won't be disappointed!
Andreas was personal, knowledgeable, and flexible. We had a very intimate yet informative outing learning about Copenhagen.

Great experience with the Captain Andreas! We loved the tour and it was the best 2 hours we had in Copenhagen!
We had a lovely afternoon despite some light rain. Andreas was very personable, sharp and professional. He was the consummate guide, always making us the number one priority. The classic Scandinavian boat was very comfortable and beautiful. We highly recommend Andreas’ tours!!
The tour guide was very friendly and entertained us with facts and stories that brought the experience to life. Highly recommend the small boat experience.
