This is a private HYGGE-tour of Copenhagen seen from the waterside in the most beautiful boat in the whole harbour. We make conversation rather than just guiding. If you rather concentrate about each other on a romantic tour - that's possible. Wanna take a swim - we can do that too. The goal is for you to have great HYGGE-time and the proposed itinerary is just a suggestion. Food, snacks and beverages besides water, champagne and white or rose wine is not allowed. The tour is not recommended for children under the age of 15 or people with ANY walking disabilities. Beware that in case of strong wind and/or rain we unfortunately have to cancel with a full refund of course.

Anniversary trip
Wonderful hour on the water with Maria . She was very informative and gave us a marvellous insight into the wonderful city of Copenhagen .
via Tripadvisor
Best canal cruise!
Very easy to find. No hassles whatsoever. Maria is knowledgeable about the buildings and history and is very engaging. She gave us restaurant and other recommendations for additional excursions. This was a much better option for us than the super large canal tour boats with 100+ people. So much more personal. You have a back and forth conversation with Maria; she's not yelling into a microphone!
Response from the operator: Thanks soo much

An amazing introduction to Copenhagen
We had such a fantastic boat tour in Copenhagen with Maria and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting little facts and insights along the way that we would never have known otherwise. It felt relaxed and personal rather than like a typical sightseeing tour, and Maria really made the whole experience special. It was such a lovely way to see Copenhagen from the water and definitely one of the highlights of our time there. If you’re looking for a boat tour in Copenhagen, I would absolutely recommend Maria. We had a wonderful time.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much 😊

Just do it!
Wonderful experience. By the time we finished it felt like Maria was an old friend. She gave us so much information about what we were seeing, plus some history, as well as recommendations on what to do in Copenhagen. Go early in your stay so you can take advantage of it all. She happily answered all our questions. 10 stars.
Response from the operator: Thank you soo much - I love it when my guest go with me early in their trip :-)

Charming city seen from the canals
Maria is a wonderful guide. Her boat is charming! She took her time showing us all of the highlights of Copenhagen by Canal. She recommended a fantastic lunch place for us after our tour. Highly recommend.!
Response from the operator: Glad you liked the Lundh - thanks :-)

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Copenhagen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Copenhagen is not rushed.
Is Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 190 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat?
+
Around 67 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Copenhagen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Copenhagen and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Copenhagen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Copenhagen?
+
On Outty we rank every Copenhagen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Copenhagen Highlights 3 Hour Bike Tour with local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Copenhagen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat?
+
Included: Umbrellas are available in case of rain; and HYGGE guiding and the possibility of deciding part of your tour yourself. Not included: Food, snacks and beverages besides water is not allowed. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat?
+
We meet at Frederiksholms Kanal. If you stand by the metrostation or the sculpture of the fisher woman and look down at the Canal - you will see the boat. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Copenhagen Boat cruise in Scandinavian mahogany boat offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian, Swedish, English and Danish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
