Finally a must visit and not to...

I booked the tickets for me and my wife Wendy, online with Stromma the day before our trip and downloaded them to my phone. We went on the combined Bus & Boat tour (250 DKK - about £30 each) on Monday 3rd October 2022. Everything went smoothly. We got on the bus at Stop 12 (Classic Route - Red) at about 10am. We got off at Stop 1 Ved Stranden and didn't have to wait long (about 10 minutes) for a canal boat. The Canal Boat tour was very good. The boat has sliding glass roof panels to give a better view when not raining. It was sunny for us. The boat commentary was live and nearly all in English. It was surprising how happy the Danish passengers were to tolerate virtually the whole commentary in English. The commentary was informative and entertaining. The boat trip took about 1 hour 20 minutes and returned to where we started - Bus Stop 1. We didn't have to wait long for another bus and completed the rest of the bus tour back to where we started. The bus commentary was recorded and available in many languages via the plug in earphones supplied free on the bus. The bus commentary was again informative and entertaining but I think the number of times that green, eco-friendly and carbon neutral were mentioned was a little overdone. Overall the trip was very good value with lots of great views and interesting...

“Welcome to Stromma; we create WET memories for life!”

We all know no one controls the weather, but when it starts thundering minutes prior to the start of the boat trip at 17.00 with dark clouds and increasing wind it is unbelievable the captain did not wait a few minutes to depart to wait the weather out. It might also have been a good idea at this time to give rain covers to passengers but no! It was only when everyone was drenched from the heavy that the crew came with plastic sheet "rain covers ".

Why was the other boat with a roof available not used under the circumstances and very unsteady weather?

All passengers were soaked and countless children were crying and there was not much leadership from the captain instead they just shouted “SIT DOWN!!” As passengers tried their best to protect themselves from a thunderstorm. What happened to “ladies and gentlemen please take your seats so we can go under the bridge”??

When neither the captain nor the crew gave instructions or offered the drenched and cold passengers to stop and disembark, I insisted that they stop, which they did after the third request.

It's probably not the first time it's rained - but it seemed like that for the crew.

I am a captain myself and knows what it takes to care for safety and passengers.

Not...
