Beautiful and peaceful tour of Sweden
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.

Great trip!
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.

Along the coast
Good pacing and choice of ride legs, towns and hotels. Need to improve quality of bike saddle-too hard.

Long days cycling and variable hotels
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

Beautiful Swedish Coastline
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?

Lovely trip
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.
