TOUR DESCRIPTION

Copenhagen Shore Excursion

This four hour Copenhagen shore excursion includes a driving tour with stops for photos at famous monuments. At the end of the city tour you enjoy a canal cruise to see the Canal District from the water.

After meeting your driver guide at the pier you begin your Copenhagen driving tour. Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is one of the most historic cities in the Baltic region, and on this introduction tour you will explore close to 850 years of history. Enjoy the view from your private vehicle as you pass the City Hall Square. You'll see the mile long pedestrian street called Stroget which connects the City Hall Square with the King's New Square.

On the other side of the City Hall you see the world famous Tivoli Gardens. Tivoli was founded in 1843 and it offers a wealth of flowers, restaurants, entertainment and amusement rides.

Next you will pass the Glyptotek Art Museum with its impressive art collection and continue to the canal area of Nyhavn. This is a charming part of Copenhagen with brightly colored houses alongside the canal. Some of the other sights seen include the Tycho Brahe Planetarium, the Royal Theater, the Gefion Fountain and Christiansborg Palace, which is the home of the Danish Parliament. Next you see the former old Stock Exchange which burned down in 2024 and the guide will tell you the story of this tragic event.

There is a stop to see the Amalienborg Castle which is the royal winter residence. You will need to walk a short distance to enjoy seeing the castle courtyard, the Royal Opera House and the impressive Frederiks Church, which locals call the Marble Church.

Later you enjoy a photo stop at the Little Mermaid statue which was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen`s fairytale.

After your Copenhagen tour is complete, you board a boat for a city canal cruise through the Canal District. These guided Copenhagen cruises visit the idyllic canals where you learn about the beautiful churches, castles, old listed houses and more.

When the Copenhagen cruise is complete, you are taken back to the pier or your hotel.

Reviewer: Travel Agent - Anne R from Melbourne Australia

I am back at the desk today after a very long time away from the office. At the very top of my list of things to do is to email you and thank you for the wonderful shore excursions our group enjoyed during the recent MSC cruise. In every case, you did us proud in terms of coach, guide, punctuality etc. These things, while fairly fundamental, took on added importance when, each time we disembarked, there were at least 15 or 20 coaches retained by the ship, with all the attendant marshaling, noise and general chaos which comes with that. We always felt a little special not to (a) have our nice coach and guide waiting there for us, and (b) to be able to go about our business of the day without all the fuss. I also completely appreciate the logistics at your end given each excursion was provided by a different operator in a different country.In terms of itinerariesinclusions, each was excellent. In hindsight I would possibly have done something other than the Cotswolds from Southampton (but what!!) that itinerary, which was completely as we requested, involved a little too much coach time.Thank you so very much, and through you please, the various guides in each of the ports we visited. All were outstanding. We wont hesitate to use your services again. Cheers!

We had a great time in Copenhagen with our guide- he did a nice city tour and allowed us time to take lots of pictures. We had a good schedule, not too rushed...good timing with the canal cruise, he was there to pick up as promised. The ice bar was a whole lot of fun--it was great! Thanks for the set up and short notice for a great time in a great city!

Reviewer: Margaret M from Norman OK

It was just FABULOUS! And we could not be more thrilled to have had the chance to meet these wonderful people who took us through their cities and showed us with such pride how rich their lives and their history has been.We ate it up and tried to memorize every bit of information. They were truly professional tour guides and gave us everything we could possibly handle. We loved it.Everything went perfectly and our flights over and back went without a hitch. (which is always a bit by luck) We had a huge suite at the front of the ship with all kinds of special perks for the cruise and we spent most of the time in the room because of the view.The weather was perfect except for a little light rain in Germany. But we had sunshine in all the other ports and we understood it was a big deal in Russia.My parents were troopers and they LOVE their private shore trips! They brag about this type of touring to everyone they know and they are, by far, your biggest fans! We can not wait to call you again to book as many tours as possible with Travel with Friends . Because that is truly what it is Travel With Friends!I would love to write again for your web page. Just give me some time to recover. ) Sincerely - A very happy traveler!
