Copenhagen Netto Canal Tour

[TERRIER1]

Can someone advise if the Netto canal tours take euro or charge cards? I went on their web site and they quote the fare in euros. Can I assume they take euros? Do they accept charge cards? Thanks.

[Danish viking]

First i can tell you that the prices are 40 DKK and not 30 DKK as previous years.

 

They only accept cash and cheques, but im guessing like almost evey other tourist site that they accept euro but send them a email with this question.

[TERRIER1]

Thanks. I emailed them and wait for their reply.

I have not researched canal tours in Copenhagen yet. Is this the preferred one? Also, what is the website?

Thank you!:)

When we did the canal boat tour in 2009, we really didn't pay attention as to who the company was. it was at the very top of the Nyhavn canal. We were able to charge it and I really do not remember how much it was but a grand time it was.

 

Here are a few of my pics to give you an idea of what to expect. it is really a great way to see parts of Copenhagen, from a completely different angle.

 

From the top of the canal, you board the boats and off you go. This is a marvelous section of Copenhagen and be sure to leave some time to just wander around here

There are many very low bridges and you will be asked to 'duck your heads' going under them

It is a wonderful hour ride and you get to see so many great and unusual things

As I said, you get a different perspective of Copenhagen from the water

And you even get to see 'The Ark':D:D:D

The first part of this shows the DFDS boat and tour

 

The Netto one seems very similar for half the price but I was able to book a specific time with the other one, which was important to us, and even at 60 DKK (70 now) it was not expensive for a great view of the city and some good info from the guide's commentary

Which canal tour is free with the Copenhagen Card Netto or DFDS?

[Danish viking]

Sorry if i didn´t make that clear, its the DFDS (or Strömma) canal tours.

Hi Danish Viking,

Many thanks for the wealth of information that you have provided us. Would you happen to know if the DFDS boats are the ones that go near the Marriott and if we can board at the hotel?

Appreciate your response!

[Danish viking]

indeed it is, if you look at the map it's the second last stop to the south. The last one is Fisketorvet shopping center.

Thanks!! You are a wonderful wealth of knowledge.:)

Danish Viking,

I'm having a hard time locating the specifics of the 2011 Copenhagen Card. Does it include one narrated canal tour or is it good for the non-narrated journey? It's my understanding that it may be purchased on-line and then one trades the voucher for a card at the airport. Is there an advantage to pre-purchasing or is it just as easy to purchase it in Copenhagen?

Again, thanks for you kind reply.

:confused:On the official site it just lists a 20% discount on the DFDS tour. :confused:

@ canadarocks

 

It´s just from this season so maybe the english website isn´t updated.

 

http://www.canaltours.dk/priser/priser

 

Use the Google language tools and translate the part that says rabatter.

 

@ GJH123

 

The website doesn´t specify if it is the waterbus or the guided tour so im guessing that is it both.

 

You can just as easily purchase the Copenhagen at the airport.

[Danish viking]

@ GJH123

 

I was offcourse going to say that you could buy the Copenhagen Card at the airport, not Copenhagen itself :D

[GJH123]

Aw shucks, I was just gathering my shekels together for a rather major purchase!

[Danish viking]

Im thinking that you had to use the odd size baggage check-in on your flight home.

I e-mailed Netto blue boats, and they replied either Euros or there was a ticket machine that accepted credit cards.

Per my Rick Steves' guidebook suggestion, when I visited Copenhagen four years ago on a land trip (staying near Nyhavn at The Admiral) I took the 1/2 price canal boat one very happily and enjoyed it very much.

 

I think a canal boat cruise is a must-do for the first time visitor.

 

(I look forward to being a second-time visitor in just over two months!:))

[TERRIER1]

The Copenhagen tourist board replied to me and said that Netto takes Euros but no credit cards. Thanks for the info.

[dogs4fun]

Just wondering if we will have difficulty catching a boat for the canal ride. It looks like the Netto boat leaves Nyhavn at 10:20 a.m. (first cruise) in August.

Does anyone know, ballpark, how long the lines are to catch that first cruise in the morning? Just wondering at what time we should get in line.

Also, is there more than one boat per hour?

Thanks!

The boats sails all the time and if the Netto boats are full you can just use the DFDS (or Strömma as they are owned by now) Canal tours.

We will be checking into the Clarion Hotel Mayfair on a Tuesday afternoon in July after an overnight flight. I think the canal tour (DFDS, free with using the Copenhagen Card - thanks for telling us that! :)) would be a great introduction to the city.

 

Can you tell me how we would get to where you board the boat from our hotel? We will have the Copenhagen Card, so I know public transportation is covered with that. Thanks for all your help!

I can see all sorts of information about the hop on hop off canal tours EXCEPT for the places where one can hop on and/or hop off. Is there a route map somewhere that I am missing? Thanks for your help!
