Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
Excellent, well-organized trip. Beautiful scenery and nice routes. Fjords Cycling is a quality organization. I defiantly would recommend this trip. We had e-bikes and they were also very good. Defiantly pack for wet cool weather. The itinerary left us time to do some nice hikes as well, so pack your hiking shoes and enjoy the views.

Fantastic views and the local support.
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
This was a beautiful trip start to finish. Merete, the local operator, was fantastic and even personally drove us to the airport when we returned our bikes. They were wonderful people and very accommodating.
The bikes were in great condition and performed without any issues. The waterfalls and fjords were gorgeous from start to finish and the terrain was very manageable with only slight hills for the most part. Accommodations were charming. I would recommend this trip to anyone.- Countries included in this tour?

Fabulous Scenery and Fabulous Tour Operator
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
Norway's Sognefjord is a unique scenic experience, with dozens of 5,000+ foot mountains rising next to the water and charming small towns dotting the coast. And the fjord has more waterfalls than we could count.
The tour's bike rides were mostly on coastal roads, without much traffic and with only modest hills. But what really made the trip special was the tour operator. Our guide Merete grew up in the area and has incredible local knowledge of the region and its history, as well as the friendliest and most helpful attitude. Highly recommended trip.

Fantastic bike tour
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
This tour had it all. Stunning scenery, beautiful rides, and interesting villages. The tour operator made it special because she set up knowledgeable guides where we learned about the areas we were visiting. Unique experiences and variety. The hotels were charming. Everything was perfect.

The REAL Greece Experience
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
A wonderful way to experience the sights, smells & sounds of a beautiful country - this is a very well put-together tour programme that has real variety. The various ferry rides were great fun - such quiet impressive vessels & so easy to use. The natural scenery is breath-taking & builds very nicely from the time you arrive in Bergen to the final day riding the amazing Romantic route - both so memorable. A special shout-out to the tour operator, who are the host providers for this ride. They are wonderful people - so warm, welcoming & helpful. They really did add significantly to our enjoyment of this highly recommended ride. Thank you so much for your superb hospitality. Staying in some of the most amazing hotels notably the Kviknes, Walaker & Hofslund Fjord was truly a very special unique experience. We will always remember the many swims we had in those stunning fiords & the awesome beauty of Norway.

A Natural Wonder
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
We had an incredible experience on this bike tour. The trip was so thoughtfully planned by the local tour company. Not only are you biking along some of the most beautiful natural landscape in the world, you are staying at iconic historic hotels (complete with delicious meals included!) and experiencing so many facets of Norwegian culture. Highly recommend! This is my 3rd bike tour and I could not recommend enough
I will note two things:
1. we lucked out with beautiful weather. Perfect sunny, blue sky days for our whole trip. If it were raining and cold, it would still be fun but just know that the weather is unpredictable
2. The cycling occurred on roads shared with motorists. 95% of the time this was totally fine because the car traffic was so infrequent, but keep this in mind if you prefer not to share the road with cars.- What was the date of your tour?

Stunning Natural Beauty!
Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes
As very special cycling experience… rain or shine, Norway delivers! We loved the rolling terrain, ferry system and the excitement of discovering the unique charms of the characterful, remote villages on the Sogneford route. We especially loved the older hotels including; the Kviknes Hotell in Ballestrand and our favourite, the Walacher Jotel in Solvorn. Both provided old work ambience with modern efficiency. The Walacher Hotel was a very special dining experience and not to be missed both breakfast and dinner. Our last day cycling on the “ romantic route” was lovely and very memorable from the ferry to Urnes, cycling chug up the very steep hill to the old stave church and the challenge of the unlit tunnels. All experiences added to our sense of accomplishment and are now part of our story of cycling in Norway. We will return! Thank you to the warm welcome and care from your team.

great family experience
Royal Zealand and Copenhagen
We had a great family time. Following the tour was easy - one followed the map, the other the instructions - it was worth following the proposed route and not google maps.
On the 65km day, we arrived late at our destination and one of the highlights was already closed. Including a bit of info of the main cultural attractions would be helpful. Have Pellerines ready in your bile box - the weather changes quickly. Tanja was of great help and very responsive! Thank you!- Countries included in this tour?

Great tour!

Well-organized tour with outstanding bike guides and ship's crew. Every one of them was without exception enthusiastic and encouraging during the entire tour. Ebikes were top-quality and daily mileages were appropriate. Also, compliments to Alex our chef for outstanding meals!

Our best bike trip yet!
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
We loved this adventure - exploring the northern Denmark and southern Sweden coasts on bike and enjoying the maritime charm of a sailing ship. The enthusiastic ship crew and knowledgeable bike guides made this journey quite special. Their interaction with guests and among themselves proved stellar as they functioned as a cohesive team to meet the needs of guests. The morning buffet was superb, and the dinners won the hearts of the foodies within the group. Quarters met our needs but if you are very tall, the beds may be on the short side. Hot showers are important after a day of riding - the water was plenty hot! We liked the ship and crew so much we are considering booking the Atlantis during their Mediterranean tour.

Fantastic Trip
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
This was our 5th bike trip and by all measures, the best. Denmark and Sweden are beautiful this time of year with everything blooming. We can’t say enough about the boat’s crew and our guides. The food was a 5 star experience at every meal! Biking was a dream as well, with perfectly paved bike paths well away from car traffic. While there was some elevation change, our e-bikes made for easy and enjoyable rides. During the week we made numerous stops at palaces, forts and several beautiful cathedrals. One of the week’s highlights was a day of sailing on our 3 masted ship. When all 14 sails were up it was so much fun. We recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great adventure.

Great trip!
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
Loved experiencing sailing on a tall ship. The captain and crew were super nice and the food was phenomenal. Kudos to Chef Pete!
Denmark is so picturesque and a fabulous place for biking. The two guides were very personable and helpful but they were not locals. (The entire crew is Dutch.) We had many stops and turn arounds as the guides tried to figure out the routes. While that was frustrating, they were so nice and funny that it became a running joke between them and the group.
The e-bikes were fantastic. Easy to learn and use. -

Bike/Sail adventure
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
For the cabins-- NEED to include ladder or stool for the cabins (4 of them) that have one bed that is almost 120 cm high we had to move our cabin to cabin #2 which was much smaller. Without the stool or ladder I couldn't get in and out of bed safely

Fun mix of bike & boat
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
This was our third biketours trip and it was a great one. The scenery wasn't as awe inspiring as the Dolomites trip, and the historical sights weren't as strong as the Catalonia trip, but it was a pleasant trip in two great countries.
The rides weren't difficult, the boat was fun, the food was great.

Best bike/sail trip yet!
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
We had 30 bikers, so the group was divided into two, and eventually evolved into three biking groups. Since many had downloaded the app, some people set off on their own. The e-bikes were wonderful and welcome since the winds off the coast could be strong! Although it rained on arrival day, it was sunny and 60’s every day thereafter. The biking varied- from urban streets to rural farm areas with few major inclines. Amazing traditional and contemporary architecture, climbing roses, peonies, and poppies everywhere. Danish and Swedish locals were friendly and helpful as needed.
The ship had 4 comfortable areas for people to hang out in; two inside and two outside. The sailing crew (all young women) were fabulous: friendly, helpful, and strong (!) when putting up the sails! Chef Pete was phenomenal- gourmet meals and fika daily at 4:00. The Captain was friendly and entertaining - very proud of his boat and crew, understandably.
The tour guides were friendly, fun, and incredibly helpful as bikers fell or had tire issues. In past bike/barge tours, the program guides provided more history, info, etc about each city, but we googled/translated info as needed.
I’ve been on 3 other bike/sail trips so assumed the compartments would be small; there were complaints among new tour participants expecting more room. -

Wonderful adventure. Strongly consider e-bike option due to strong headwinds switching between north and south. This is a new trip and we were on the maiden voyage, so the guides were becoming familiar with the routes available. Great food and ambiance.
