Lovely trip
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
This trip was a lovely way to see parts of Sweden from the sea to the horse and vegetable farms, and the charming homes. We went in September so the weather was a bit brisk. We were lucky to miss the often predicted rain during the rides but on some days the wind was very strong especially when we had to ride west with a headwind. Overall the mileage was fine, especially with option to ride shorter routes. There were only a few hills. We wished there were more options of places to stop on the way for a drink or lunch but overall it was a lovely ride. We also never met anyone from the tour as we had to pick up our bikes from a bike shop who didn't understand how to adjust the bikes. We also thought, although trivial, not getting a water bottle (good advertisement for them) was unusual. This is our fifth bike European bike and have always received a bottle. Fortunately we had each brought one so we didn't have to buy one there.

Beautiful Swedish Coastline
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We just returned from this trip and felt like it was a nice way to end the summer. We booked it last minute and arrived on August 29th and finished on September 5th, so we were still booked for the more expensive summer season even though only one day was spent in that time. It was still a great trip though and the weather was still fairly warm and we had most of the trails and beaches to ourselves. Many of the restaurants and venues mentioned in the program were closed because the peak season was over, so I would recommend bringing some additional food options if you ride this after September 1st. The hotels all had great breakfasts and were in good locations.
There was a very loud music concert a block or so away on our first night in Helsingborg and it kept us awake until 1:00 am (and we had to have the windows open because that is the only way to cool the room). We found out that it is a yearly event held that last weekend of August so if you enjoy a good rock concert maybe this is a time you will want to be there. Other than that we were very pleased with our rooms and the service. One challenge we had in multiple hotels was getting our bikes into the storage rooms which were hard to access. They were secure though.
The Kattegattleden trail is very well maintained and the scenery is gorgeous. A few of the days were very long and we didn't have time to stop and see everything but generally it was a comfortable place. It was fairly nice weather but we had rain at some time every day. Definitely bring good rain gear and layers of warm clothing with the changing weather.
We had good service with the bike shop and were pleased with our gear and everything worked great.- What was the date of your tour?

Long days cycling and variable hotels
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
The Swedish coast was beautiful and the people so friendly and helpful. The distances between hotels were too long even on e-bikes. We felt we didn’t get enough time to sightsee and explore each day. Hotels were variable
Elite molberg in Helsingborg was excellent
Best western angelholm room small and dark hotel hard to find.
Profilhotel halmstad lovely big room
Hotel hamnagartan was very poor room tiny and not used to e bikes. Gravel made moving bikes and suitcases difficult
Varbergstadshotel excellent
Best western Halland helpful staff but could not get bikes into their garage as no step free access
Elite plaza Gothenburg was good but annoying to have to take the bikes back to comfort hotel where the staff didn’t seem

Great tour!
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
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.

Pros- beautiful sailing ship, attentive crew
Cons- paced for e-bikes, rides through urban areas - ★★★★★ Shannon Ramos
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. - ★★★★★ Mary
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.
