    The tour was informative...

    The tour was informative and our guide was enthusiastic. It would have been higher rated but this is not a three hour walking tour. It is a 2 hour tour with an included ticket for a 1 hour canal tour with a very large group by another operator at an insignificant cost relative to the total amount paid. We would not have taken the tour if it had been listed accurately as a 2 hour private walking tour with a large group canal boat ticket included.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the tour informative and that you enjoyed the enthusiasm of your guide. We would like to clarify a couple of points: during the walking tour, our guide asked the group if they wanted to continue walking longer or if they were satisfied with the route, to make sure everyone was comfortable. In addition, regarding the canal cruise, the tickets provided clearly state that they are for the canal tour portion included in the experience. However, we will consider if the canal tour ticket is still worth offering as it brings more headache than profit. That said, we truly value your input and will continue working on making the description of the tour even clearer so that expectations always align with what we deliver. We hope the combination of the guided walk and the canal cruise still gave you a memorable impression of the city, and we’d be happy to welcome you again on one of our tours in the future. Warm regards, Copenhagen Walking Tour

    It is a wonderful place...

    It is a wonderful place to visit and the canal boat ride was very enjoyable. We ate at an outdoor cafe that served good food and drinks.

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you have had an amazing trip in Copenhagen. All the best Copenhagen Walking Tour

    Informative

    Rob was a very informative tour guide. We enjoyed learning about the Danish traditions and architecture

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot Linda. Rob is an angel and furthermore a good guide. We hope you have had a great time in Copenhagen. Kind regards Copenhagen Walking Tour

    We were 4 couples in the...

    We were 4 couples in the early sixties interested in culture and history of Copenhagen. The quality of the route choosen by the guide was as poor as explanations given. Best part of the tour was the canal tour which was quite scenic.

    Response from the operator: Dear customer, we apologize for you guys not having the tour you wish you could have had. However, our guide Rob has been living in the city for the last 20 years and the route that was chosen meant to meet your requirements as you were tired and requested to stop for a coffee time to time. Again, Rob has asked us to apologize for the walking tour and wish you a great day.

    Best tour we have ever taken

    We have taken many tours over the years and this was one of the best. The communication confirming our tour time and pick up location the day before by the company and then by the tour guide was remarkable and reassuring. Our tour guide, Rob, was prompt and had excellent English and was a professional guide who knew his history of Copenhagen and could answer any question. Rob's enthusiasm and pride in his city was evident and contagious as he led us through the city telling us stories of the building and destruction throughout the ages. I don't think there was a building we passed that Rob didn't know some interesting fact about. When you take this tour and have Rob as your guide, wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to receive a tour that exceed far more than what you expect.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. Rob is a legend person and we are very happy to work with him. We wish you a great day and hope you had a pleasant stay!

    Private Copenhagen Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.

    How much does Private Copenhagen Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1100 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 Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours 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 Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 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 Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience?

    +

    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 Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Copenhagen Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience?

    +

    Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Copenhagen Walking Tour & Exclusive Canal Tour Experience 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 Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen, Walk & Canal Tour: Copenhagen Highlights + Changing of the Guards, Danish Hygge and Culture Walking Tour in Copenhagen Old Town. 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.
