Had an absolute blast on this tour, so much so that I did my Vått Kort with Filip for my birthday soon after.
I’m now hooked and even tried white water as well. Everything is an experience and they have never let me down on anything I’ve done with them.

I did the river tour today. It was guided unprofessionally, only 1 guide for nearly 15 people , but 2 people to drive the car from start to end. No help to get into to boat or out of it, even for total beginners. The guide couldn't see the whole group during the trip. She asked for an voluntary guest to stay at the back (no interest if this is an experienced person). In the tunnel this person passed me without noticing. I totaly lost orientation (hit the wall several times) and the connection to the group, but nobody cared about.
Even if they don't tell you, you will get wet because they don't have the splash protection you normally use in an kayak.
I felt really unprofessionally guided and unsecure. I wouldn't recommend the tour, at least if you don't have any experience
