There are several shuttle companies in Copenhagen and they’re all red, so you have to figure out which is the correct one for you by asking. Once you understand the system and the route map, it’s easy to get around and you can stop where you want.

Reviews
The boat tour was fun, we had the automated guides, but the crew were friendly in welcoming us aboard and thanking us for taking the cruise. The bus drivers were all great, knowledgeable about the routes and times of buses to ensure you could get back, or how long you would have to wait (2 hours at the Carlsberg building), and a five minute photo opportunity to photograph the Little Mermaid and get back on board. We were on the bus during a day of demonstrations in the streets and were told that the bus couldn’t get to two of the stops. We were told other stops we could get off at and how to get to where we wanted to go.
Drivers were friendly and helpful. Each stop was announced. We had no problems with finding the stops. Quick turnaround.
We find this experience a great way to see the city, identify places of interest, and go exploring. This one provided a canal boat tour as well. What a great experience!
Thus bus tour was very disappointing. There was relatively little commentary and we were frequently unable to connect the information to a specific building/ location. Copenhagen has survived three wars, but there was no information about this fact. The canal tour is not too be missed. Our tour guide, Amelia, was wonderful - clear, articulate, and a wealth of information. She alone saved this rating from being a 'one.' The bus audio system provided a clear, crisp commentary. Sadly, as previously mentioned, it was not providing a lot of information.
Great way to get a sense of the local attractions. Just need to be mindful that traffic congestion can put the audio out of sync with what you are seeing.
Great bus and canal route. The guides were excellent and informative.
Easy bus pick up at the cruise port, however after the first stop you needed to exit the bus and wait for another bus. Bus stops were not well marked , which made finding a bus initially challenging. Once we knew what the signs looked like, navigation was easy. Definitely recommend the canal ride, where you can see most of the top sites from the water!
This was an outstanding method to see the whole city as a tourist who is only there for a short while. I booked and used the 48 hours and it was the perfect length of time for my visit. It was a little pricey but ultimately public transport would’ve not been nearly as great. The only negative is the lack of detailed audio commentary, when in london and berlin there was more commentary between two stops than there was over an entire lap round copenhagen. The buses were on time for the most part and stopped conveniently near different tourist stops. Sometimes it got a little busy but not to the point of being no seats on the top level. The boat was easy to book, find and use. We had an incredible guide, called Malik, who provided incredible insight to copenhagen as well as pointing out photo opportunities and was funny!
It was an open top boat in cool rainy weather. No top anywhere. Very uncountable. Other boats had at least some top
Nice boat, nice ride, and efficient. Pleasant staff. All very good!
It’s a good way to get out of the port but it’s not clear you have to book the canal Tour ahead and they seem to make their own schedule with the bus lines
We often use the Hop-On Hop-Off buses when traveling in cities that offer the service. We get to have an overview of the entire area and then decide which places we want to dive a little deeper into. The service is generally much cheaper than other touring options. The canal tour option on this particular trip was fantastic.
A really convenient way to get to all the main attractions of Copenhagen, stay as long as you like. Wedid the whole Red and Purple tours as well as the canal tour and then we're selective about where to get off
Best way to see the city. If your a cruise passenger this line has an advantage where one of the 4 lines it services brings you directly in front of the cruise port. This was a blessing for us not to have to call a taxi or wait for bus service. This group has 3 different lines that will bring you to different areas of the city. Also included qas a canal ride which was fun to do. 5 stars for this tour.
We took canal boat tour and Hop on Hop off bus. We were able to get tickets for the canal tour early morning. Totally enjoyed the canal tour very informative. Highly recommend it. Bus was nice to see the city.
Buses were on time and drivers very good. Great way to see this amazing city. Do all 3 routes and definitely do the canal tour too.
If you have limited time it is your best choice. We were picked up from the cruise terminal. Hope on hope off staff was very helpful. Boat tour was great as well. If you buy tickets in advance you save money and have e-ticket version that you can use right away. We used bus as a shuttle on the 2 nd day to get to Meat packing district. By using all 3 lanes you can see all highlights of the hall city.
The ticket included three lines of bus tour (red, purple and green) which covered the entire city. It was very nice even if the narratives were rather basic and not very informative. The ticket also included the boat tour which was very nice and live-guided. All together a very good value.
This was really easy to access, and we liked the upper level for seeing the sights of Copenhagen! Worth it.
Cursory overview of the highlights of the city by bus & boat. Gives you a focus, to plan more in-depth visits to sites and/or museums.
Buses are frequently full so a lot of waiting. They also use an advertising bus to hold the parking place for when the regular bus comes in. Some employees were friendly and helpful and others were rude. The boat part of this ticket was great and we got right on and saw quite a bit. The boat guide was awesome!
It was a good experience. We rode the red, green and purple lines. We saw many highlighted things we wanted to see. This bus line is red with a big yellow slant on it. Good way to see the city with little time.
Amazing value for 3 different tours included in the price! Aswell as boat ride which was so enjoyable
On our first visit to Copenhagen, we wanted to get a decent overview of the city, so the 48 hour bus and boat package seemed like an excellent idea. The canal cruise was outstanding (we ended up doing it twice because I bought a separate canal cruise ticket first for us, but since it was included in the bus & boat tour, I tried to cancel the separate canal cruise through Trip Advisor within the allotted time frame but was unable to do so.)The second cruise was awful, mainly due to the woman who was the guide. She was difficult to understand, very limited in her descriptions, and not friendly to deal with. The buses were okay but tricky sometimes to find the desired line. (There are at least 3 different routes.) The buses were a good way to see some parts of Copenhagen, but no guides or audio descriptions were offered. The Red Line failed to stop at 2+ designated stops, and no directions or guidance from bus drivers. As a passenger, you probably should know which site you want to visit (including entrance fees) and how much time you need. The bus stops are outlined on the map Strommer provides at the first stop.
Hoho in Copenhagen was good. Boat tour with our guide Soureth was excellent. If you only take one, take the boat, better perspective and a slower pace.
Unfortunately this excursion occurred during a major bicycle event in Copenhagen and our operator totally dropped the ball. Finally after waiting at our stop for 1 hour and 45 minutes, we walked away from our venue. Other people were buying vouchers of competing vendors (who were stopping with great frequency). I've used hop-on/ hop-off all over the world and this was just substandard. I'm sure any other time it's fine, but I wasn't here any other time. And, if our operator could not keep a minimum standard then they should have cancelled stops or limited increased buses. The canal tour this a.m. was quite good.
Very pleased with service. Made our trip so easy. Definitely encourage to choose the with boat ride option. We feel like we were able to see everything we wanted and more in one day. Highly Recommend!!
The bus got us around, we enjoyed the boat tour, the APP worked fine. The driver, Vlad was awesome, great chatting with him. Only thing that could be better - open earlier and stay later.
Appreciated the pick up at the Cruise terminal, however, it took more than an hour to actually begin the actual stops and 2+ hours to get to the stop where we could get the canal boat ride. We did not have enough time to do either the green or the purple route - It was a 48 hour ticket and I think all routes would have been doable if you used both days.
the STROOMA bus and boat are great.....lots of busses, very narration on bus and especially on the boat canal cruise......better than the red sightseeing bus
I could not use the second day bus service because there was royal run 26 marathon that day. All the bus and car routes closed. Viator should not sell ticket for this day. I wish I knew it and not pay for second day pass.
the buses were good with many stops and frequent intervals with the highlight being the fiver cruise
Stops are easy to find and routes are easy to follow
Not sure why people are unhappy. This was easy to find and navigate. We road 3 lines and enjoyed an overview of Copenhagen. They offer headphones and have more than 10 languages. Recommend!
No app. No map of pickup areas. Mother ship did not answer the phone in English and we could not communicate. Bus Driver from competition gave us a ride to their infrequent stops. The package they sold us at a premium was not honored by various events.
We had the classic hop on, hop off tour, and in addition the purple and green tour and the classic boat trip. and I will recommend all the tours! The staff is nice, the routes are interesting and the most important thing for me is the quality of the sound and information from the headphhones, - and that was super. I have taken so many hop on, hop off tours where the sound has been not working very well. But here it was fantastic! Also, the young lady who was the guide on the boat was excellent!
Company sent a hop on hop off bus to port. Driver advised us another bus would pick us up. Waited 50 minutes. Bus driver took us to Little Mermaid where we were picked up. Bus went back to port. Left 1 hr late. Missed changing of guards. Worst experience we have had with Viator.
Excellent pick up and return from/to Ocean Quay terminal 3, right outside our cruise ship terminal. The Viator/Stroma mobile ticket worked perfectly. All drivers and staff were very nice and helpful. The included 1.5 hr Canal cruise was excellent. Copenhagen is a gem.
Buses run every 1/2 hour. Not too busy this time of year (early April). There are 3 routes. The bus drivers were nice and helpful. Waited extra time so we could get something from the store. Good experience.
A brilliant tour that covers everything you’d want to see in Copenhagen Having 2 days to travel all 4 routes was very convenient
Excellent tour guide on the bus. And to combine the canal trip was great. Very informative and a lovely guide.
The bus was less informative than other similar tours in other cities. There was a lot of down time on the recording - it could be added to, Im sure there is more to the history than was mentioned. To find the stops, I had to call the number because the booking info wasn’t very robust. Stromma.com has the live-time map and location of the bus locations too. The canal tour was good - the tour guide was fun, although the whole tour was fairly short and not over a large distance like the Helsinki tours. You’ll want to book a reserved time for that at the ticket booth near the dock.
Do yourself a huge favour and buy a Metro/bus ticket instead, which only costs about £10 per day, and this includes the harbour boat bus as well. We completely wasted our money buying Stromma 48-hour tickets only to discover that from mid-September they reduce the hours (but not the price!) of the hop-on hop-off considerably! On one of the routes, buses don’t start running until 11:15am and they finish at 3:15pm There are just three buses all day long with a two-hour gap in between. This is certainly NOT a hop-on hop-off service. There is no way you can get round this route stopping at all stops! The other routes aren’t much better. The map and interactive map they provide are completely useless. If you happen to wander away from the bus stop for a little walk about, good luck in finding the next stop as they are extremely difficult to find. When I emailed to complain, their response was “well, you should have read the small print“. So I’ll save you the bother. Just avoid Stromma buses as they are a complete waste of your precious holiday time and money! We had no choice but to buy the Metro/bus Citypass, which turned out to be a good move as it was great value, allowing us to stay out beyond 4pm! The Metro and bus system were very simple to use, with easy-to-find stops, and being able to wander about on foot meant we saw way more of Copenhagen rather than the stress it caused us waiting for non-existent Stromma buses to not turn up!
Great value. The bus drivers were informative and the the guide on board the boat, interesting and entertaining. However, there was another opperator with almost identical busses which was somewhiat confusing. I tried getting on the wrong bus twice and I saw numerous other people doing the same!
Great way to see the city boat ride was the best! The route passed our hotel which was convenient for us at the end of the day and easy to pick up the next day
We purchased the 48 hrs hop on hop off bus and boat classic excursion. Was glad we had the 2 days to see things, my only complain is that it is difficult to find the 1st place to hop on if you are not familiar with the city/country. We had the same issue in Rome. I like doing the sightseeing bus as a starting point for seeing the city, then can go back and pick what we want to see.
The boat tour was fabulous. The City tour is decent. Always a good way to get your bearings in a new city. But why all Hoho Companies make it so darn hard to get info online on bus stops and routes is beyond me. It’s good to know this when choosing accommodations.
Great way to see the main sites in the city and get an overview from both land and sea. Bus drivers were super helpful. Recommend doing the beer tasting at Carlsberg.
We used the bus as our transportation throughout the city for 48 hours and the canal cruise was a fun way to see the city from a different perspective. Our hotel was a pick up location which made it even more convenient.
