I highly recommend! We had Copenhagen Cards, so we didn't have to pay anything extra, but even without Copenhagen Card I belive it's still worth it! We took the last boat of the day with live guide, and not only was it beautiful in the sunset, we had an amazing and funny guide! We got tons of information about the city's history, about basically every building we passed and about the danish people as well. I truly had an amazing time! Note: it can get quite chilly once we got out of the narrow canals to the more open waters, so I recommend bringing a sweater even if it's hot 😊
