Great trip!
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We enjoyed everything about the trip. We read reviews that the trains don’t always have room for bikes, so we didn’t try taking train. Every hotel and breakfast was wonderful. The place where we picked up our bikes was less prepared than the bike shops on other trips. They struggled to get our bikes the correct height etc and we had to ask for repairs kits.

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

Beautiful and peaceful tour of Sweden
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
This trip exceeded our expectations. The Kattegattleden is a beautiful, well-maintained network of bike trails along the coast, through farmland and cute towns. We had great weather in early September, and no crowds. We rented gravel bikes and they worked out well for us. The hotels were great, with wonderful breakfasts, and we enjoyed the spa in Varberg. We recommend the various detours suggested, such as to Mölle (we enjoyed hiking at Kullaberg) and Fjäråsbräcka. Sweden is very bike-friendly and the people were very friendly as well.

Fun way to explore some of Denmark and Sweden!
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed our guide and he did a great job. We only would’ve loved to hear more history of various parts of the country we were in.
The boat is cozy, but it works. - ★★★★★ Mike
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. - ★★★★★ CSS
Lovely Trip
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We did the self-guided version which went seamlessly with bike pickup and luggage transfer. A very nice trip. Not difficult biking. Lovely scenery. Great food. Very friendly people - everybody knows English. Very easy to find your way.

An enjoyable ride.
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We really liked the ride. The people we met were wonderful. For the most part we avoided the nasty weather. The food was really good and a bit of a pleasant surprise. The only negative was one of the ebikes controls was tie wrapped on. It also gave a number of warnings and then just shut down. It always restarted but was a worry. The bike seat was more of an old cruiser style and not very comfortable. The shot version of the ride from Varberg to Kungsbuka said you could ride to Ass and catch a train. There was only one train at Ass and it took you back to Varberg plus it was late afternoon.

Better than I Dreamed.
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
I bike toured in the 70s 89s and 90s but not since though I bicycle everyday. This trip exceeded my expectations. Beautiful views, a great mix of bike paths, single track, gravel and quiet roads. The bike ran well, hotels super nice, luggage showed everyday. Thanks.

Biking the Swedish coast
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
It was a great way to see Sweden. I wish we had stayed an extra night or 2 along the way so we'd have more time to explore these lovely towns. The bike path was fun and easy, the hotels good. I would have preferred a lighter faster bike to ride, and I tried to get a preview of the bike before we left but that didn't happen. We had a great time anyways.

Stockholm Round Trip July 2025
Stockholm Round-Trip Across Swedish History
The route was generally good although leaving Stockholm by cycling alongside a busy highway was a bit uncomfortable. We had to backtrack couple of kilometers because the trip notes did not mention a road closure near Drottningholms palace; according to a worker there the road had been closed for several weeks. The hotels were good or excellent, the navigation app worked well. We were disappointed that the final day of cycling would require us to reach a train station by early afternoon; consequently we did not cycle that day although we would have liked to have done so. Also we were not made aware that the bike tour company has a tighter bag weight limit (20 Kg) than most airlines.

Enjoyable Cycle Trip Through Rural Sweden
Stockholm Round-Trip Across Swedish History
This trip was well designed to expose the rider to rural Sweden as well as some historical highlights. The length and hilliness of the individual segments allowed for five good days’ worth of cycling, yet left enough in the tank to enjoy the evenings. The accommodations were comfortable and accessible to a number of dinner options. Breakfasts were mostly quite good. There routing via online map was excellent but for one minor glitch described below..
There were a couple of areas which need some improvement.
1. On the routes of two of the days, there were short sections where the roads were paved with extremely coarse gravel, which made cycling very difficult, especially for less powerful riders.
2. On the first day, there were well-placed lunch options in Ekerö which would be useful if put in the description.
3. The condition of several of the front bags was poor.
4. The route outlined in the phone app directed riders over the main road as it entered Trosa; the bike route was visible on the electronic map as well as the paper map, but those following the highlighted route would follow it over a busy road..
5. Cyclists would be well warned that the elevators in the Tumba station are very tight for e-bikes.
Overall, we enjoyed the trip immensely, and would recommend it to anyone who asked.

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. - ★★★★★ John M.

Tall Ship Sailing and Biking
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
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.

Fun ride with knowledgable guide around Stockholm
Classic Stockholm Bike Tour
Super tour through Stockholm, a safe ride with our knowledgable guide (Lucas), who shared different perspectives on both the city sights and their history - and the country in general. Saw a lot of important landmarks and other sights - with longer or shorter stops - telling interesting tales and gave background stories where appropriate. Including a "fika" stop - naturally. Thanks for a super tour - we really enjoyed it.

One of the best!
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We have booked self-guided bike tours in the USA, Japan, and England. The arrangements and support for this trip were some of the best that we've experienced. One highlight for us was the range of lodging we enjoyed - from pension/air B&B to more upscale hotels to small town lodges. And aside from BikeTours, Swedish organizations have done a good job of trail maintenance and route signage. We even saw two elk (aka moose) along the route.

Amazing trip up the west coast of Sweden
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
This is a must see part of the world!! This was my fifth bicycle trip in Europe and one of the best. The west coast of Sweden was absolutely stunning - beautiful beaches, cute villages, wonderful countryside. The people were tremendous. Language was not an issue. The bicycle trail is well traveled and easy to follow. It was a wonderful experience.

This was a trip of lifetime! The Trip Leader was very kind, caring and conscientious. His colleague also provided outstanding support and assistance throughout the trip. The riding was beautiful, safe and an excellent pace. The bikes, hotels, food and historical and cultural tours/visits were all beyond excellent!

Fantastic bike tour through the Swedish countryside
Stockholm and Sörmland
Very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. However it would have been more enjoyable to have had the opportunity to spend more time exploring two of the villages. Maybe a two night stay in both Trosa and Mariefred. The tour of Gripsholm Castle was hurried and disappointed that two of the churches we stopped at during our ride weren’t open! Overall a wonderful time! Dieter and Michele were both very accommodating and nice.
