What riders say
Across these tickets travellers rate Red Sightseeing Copenhagen 3.4 out of 5 from 676 reviews.
The hop on off is worth riding shortly after arriving in a city. This ride provides a good opportunity to choose options to visit in greater detail. The head set was OK.
The hop on hop off bus was OK, the same as any large city. The boat portion was very good but the signage for Netto boats was poor. It was difficult to find as the sign was weather faded.
Great driver, he slowed for photos as much as he could, also gave great commentary. Thanks Assan
