Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Hidden gems (2 hours)
Description
Hey Captain is a charming canal tour with a local vibe. Our ambition is to deliver a personal, social and informative tour in a unique way that will make our guests remember as the highlight of their trip. This 2-hour Hidden Gems tour will take you to the captain's favorite spots, which are off the beaten track from the standard path in the inner city. We will explore upcoming residential areas of the North harbor where the Venice-inspired residential homes and buildings are emerging in areas formerly used for industrial purposes. You will gain a sense of the city and how the Danish lifestyle and design influences the development of the harbor, more than an overload of historical facts.

Itinerary
This 2-hour "Hidden gems" tour will take you to Hey Captain's favorite spots, which are off the beaten track from the standard canal tour routes in the inner town. We will explore upcoming residential areas of either the South or North harbor, where the Venice-inspired residential homes and buildings are emerging in areas formerly used for industrial purposes. As we explore the upcoming areas you will see how former industrial buildings are being transformed into new spaces, where new and old are mixed in the architectural structures. You will gain a sense of the city and how the Danish lifestyle and design influences the development of the harbor, more than an overload of historical facts.

Highly recommend this boat ride! Excellent tour! You get to experience Copenhagen from the water, learn about the various areas, ask questions and relax in the boat. I was with my 20 year old daughter and we both loved it! So much better than the big tour boats. More intimate You will be in full sun if that matters to you. They provide sunscreen and blankets if needed.
Which hidden gems ? Just a boring harbour tour. No hidden jems inside the town on the touristic spots. I assumed the small boat would get into spots where big boats could not come. Hughe disappointment
Very well-commentated tour to discover the history and development projects of Copenhagen. The guide is very talkative and attentive to the guests' questions, which is facilitated by the small number of seats on board. Unusual discovery
We did the two hour tour and absolutely loved it! Janis was a phenomenal tour guide, and we met lovely people from all over the world on our boat. Best of all, the boat comfortably accommodates fewer than a dozen people total, so it felt like a truly intimate and fun experience. There were so much of Copenhagen that I did not even know existed! The boat in which we did our tour was pristinely maintained, and they even had a cooler with beverages to purchase while on board. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen!
What a great way to both spend a few hours on the water and learn a whole lot about Copenhagen (both the city and life there). Devon was our tour guide and was great company, smart and knowledgeable and took us to see some really cool aspects of Copenhagen. While we booked expecting to be part of a larger group, it was just my family of 3 and Devon and it worked just as well. Highly recommend!
I believe that too much emphasis was placed on getting to know each person on the tour rather than exploring and explaining the harbour and the history of Copenhagen. We thought that the smaller group and boats would be able to get into areas the larger boats couldn't, but we were disappointed to find out that the inner harbour was not part of the tour.
Great way to see Copenhagen and to learn much new about the city. Ida was very engaged, empathetic and knowledgeable Captiain who also adapted the route to our knowledge and preferences. Everything was right from the booking through to the pick-up and final financial settlement uncomplicated. Thanks.
Best tour in Copenhagen! This was a FIVE STAR tour! The weather was perfect. Our guide Nadia was engaging, fun and very informative. It's called "social sailing" for a reason! We loved getting to know Nadia, our driver/guide and the other couple on our cruise from Paris. The tour was amazing but the connections we made were even better. If we don't hear from Mark and Valerie from Paris and if Nadia doesn't show up in Texas some day, we are going to be so disappointed! Boom this tour. You will not regret it!
Excellent trip from start to finish. Great captain who put everyone at ease. Full 2 hours of fun and facts. Would recommend.
FABULOUS tour! Steve, the guide was so funny, so fun! Tour was so great I’d do it again. Thanks HEY CAPTAIN!
