Tour of Copenhagen - My tour guide Jane was the best. We had so much fun & her knowledge & passion is undisputed. The canal boat ride was nice, but surprisingly the buildings aren’t as bright as what the photos depict.

Canal tour - need to do! - I had done this tour 45 years ago and remember loving it. Did so on this trip. Funny and engaging guide- I think his name was Steven. He also had a pretty good singing voice!

Not worth the money and likely a scam - The trip was very overpriced compared to the poor quality of the private walking tour and mediocre canal tour. Our guide did not speak English well and also was not from Denmark so his historical knowledge was shallow and difficult to follow. The canal tour was on a boat of ~80 tourists and in English and German. It definitely cost a lot less than what we paid up front as part of our package. Overall I believe we were scammed.
