Review of Copenhagen’s intimate three-hour Social Sailing tour, with Trekroner Fort, canal views, local stories, drinks, weather tips, and value advice.

“Dress warm and get ready for a superb experience. Water is super calm so not bad for those unsure about boating. Well informed, casual captain showed us places other tours don’t go to. There’s a variety of beverages for purchase glogg, cocoa, beer. The boat is really cute outfitted with lanterns, blankets. Restroom break during one stop. 10/10 recommend, I think you’ll love it.”

Explore Copenhagen’s old canals, Trekroner fortress, Nordhavn, and new harbor districts on a friendly three-hour social boat tour.

“Despite the wind and rain we had a fabulous trip. Frederick and Victor were entertaining and very knowledgeable. Any complaints would be about the weather and beyond their control. We still managed to see a lot of Copenhagen with Fredericks skilful navigating. We enjoyed the socialising as well. Great concept introducing ourselves and we had fun chatting and learning from our fellow passengers. We highly recommend this tour and next time we are here we’d like to try it when it’s not raining.”
