Copenhagen: Exclusive Guided Boat Tour

About This Experience

The Exclusive Guided Boat Tour is Stromma's small-boat alternative to its big canal boats: a quiet electric boat with only 12 seats and a live guide who speaks English and Danish. It lasts about 65 minutes and cost $42 per person on the dates we checked in October 2026, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The boat works its way through the canals and out into the harbour, past the old buildings and the new architecture along the waterfront and the city's best-known historic sights. With so few guests on board, you can ask the guide questions as you go, and the guide shares insider stories along the way.

It suits couples and small groups who want a calmer trip than the 150-seat sightseeing boats, and travellers visiting in the cold months. In winter the boat has heated seats and blankets, and the tour sails in rain or shine. On the date we checked there were three departures, at 10:45, 12:30 and 14:15.

The listing does not publish a stop-by-stop route, so the exact sights depend on the guide and the conditions on the day. There are a few steps to get on board, so it does not work for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility, and dogs are not allowed.
