Tour to remember
Berlin – Copenhagen
This trip delivered on every level I was looking for. The route, the distance to ride on each leg, the hotels and towns stopping at each leg all excellent. The people on the tour were fun and the people I met along the way were also helpful and friendly. The route notes and maps were good and the bike was also just right for me. So happy I took this tour.

Great bike ride
Berlin – Copenhagen
Good way to experience Germany and Denmark. Bike was a bit funky. Route was fabulous. With a Garmin, navigating was easy. Without would have been difficult.

Great but we wish we controlled the weather😀
Berlin – Copenhagen
It really was an excellent tour. Between the GPS file and the maps, navigation was pretty easy. Despite having to back track once for a total of 5 Kms, the cycling was straight forward, the scenery varied and pretty with so many flowers in bloom.
Generally, distances were good but our longest day, the last, 90 plus kms, had the most things to stop and see and we missed out on a couple castles etc. This after already taking the shorter less scenic route. Rødvig to Copenhagen, in our opinion needs rethinking.
We used the company’s standard touring bikes. We are both in our late 60’s and we found them reliable and rolled along at a 20 kph pace very nicely.
Hotels were all good, however, location choice were not always great. For instances, Stege the hotel was 6 kilometres past the town in the middle of an area of no services, costing riders 12 extra kms. Also the hotel in Copenhagen was a 50 minute ride from the time you entered the city to the far side of the city. This again was our longest riding day, and though it was relatively easy city riding, the time constraint of the day was a little frustrating (8 am start-7 pm finish at hotel).
We would highly recommend this tour and loved the city of Rostock, hotel at the brick factory, loads of history and farming, and seeing so many small towns along the way. In addition, you have the option to go off course and discover even more cool areas with limited extra distance.

Berlin to Copenhagen interesting and okay
Berlin – Copenhagen
This tour could have been so much better if we had better bikes that were better maintained. Additionally, we had to convert all the gpx files to Ride with GPS ourselves. The routes were good but it would have been nice if more places to stop and eat or grab something were indicated along the way. Also more things to see should have been available. The books and maps were cumbersome.

Accomodations, mapping, everthing was well done.
Berlin – Copenhagen
This was the best way to the country side, small towns, sea shores, and larger cities of Germany and Denmark. Rooms were lovely, clean and inviting.

Berlin-Copenhagen early June 2026
Berlin – Copenhagen
We had a great trip! We were on the self-guided route. We met other international cyclists riding the same timeframe and it was nice to chat with them in the AM at breakfast. The weather was cooler and predicted to rain but it was cool overcast. The hotels were great and the luggage arrived early afternoon which made it nice for relaxing and getting ready for dinner! We did have some strong wind and most of the women we met on the trip had electric bikes. I didnt and made it work, but for longer distances and seeing all the sights it would be recommended! Downloading the app made it easy to follow the route and bike paths the entire way into Copenhagen made it safe for cycling.

Nice Scenery and Trails but Terrible Bikes
Berlin – Copenhagen
I have mixed feelings about this ride. I was very psyched about the ride route but in retrospect, I think the ride is much more suited to recreational riders, than experienced ones.
The scenery and trails were very nice. When my derailleur hanger broke off, the company was responsive and I got a new one within a couple of hours. People on the road and at hotels were very friendly and helpful. And if you like pastry, you’ll be in heaven!
If you’re an experienced rider, you aren’t likely to be happy with the bikes. They’re very heavy and clumsy. Also, only some men’s bikes had a water bottle cage. The company provided a front bike bag which a water bottle fit into, but cages are the international standard. Most people I know travel with 2 water bottles, so the bike bag was only a partial solution. I wanted to avoid this by bringing my own bike but the company was very difficult to deal with on this issue and by the time they agreed to transport our bike boxes, it was too late.
At the ride start every room received a big packet containing paper guides and maps which I thought were a waste of paper. Everyone in my group of about 15 used Ride With GPS (RWGPS) files exclusively. But some riders may want paper guides so they should just be available on request. Further, the written directions were confusing as they combined different lodging towns so not all info was relevant to all riders. Finally, the RWGPS files routed us to the town, not actual lodging. I didn’t care for having to pull up lodging directions when we arrived in a town.

Could be better
Berlin – Copenhagen
Overall this was an amazing trip. However, there were some frustrating aspects as follows:
1. Route instructions were terrible. I stopped getting lost once I downloaded and used the GPS routes
2. I missed many sites of interest as the layout of the guidebook was pretty awful as well. For example, descriptions of sites of interest were several pages before or after the maps of specific towns. The company would benefit from starting over with their guidebooks and find a user experience expert to change layout.
3. Most lodging ranged from good to very good. However, several were either too far from town to find a decent place to eat, or more importantly very noisy making a restful night next to impossible. This factor of itself was enough to consider whether I would recommend this trip.
4. The last day was not an unpleasant way to end the trip given I had the choice of over 100 km or ride next to a busy highway for most of the day. The end point could be better through through.

Exactly what I was looking for in a biking tour
Berlin – Copenhagen
The equipment worked well, the route was well planned, and the accommodations were good. The in-country partner was excellent and very helpful.
