Highlights of Northern Zealand

We loved so many things about this tour. The Comwell hotels in Roskilde and Helsingor (nearby) were fantastic places to stay with so many thoughtful spaces and absolutely stunning breakfasts. Using the app for navigation was easy and with very few exceptions the route was clear and easy to follow. We truly loved the Sweden day. Taking the ferry was a thrill and the ride was scenic and varied. We stopped to swim in Hoganas at the dock right before town and it was so much fun. Great trip overall. We look forward to doing more bike trips in the future and Denmark was a good staring place for us.

The entire the trip was great! the routes, the towns, hotels, everything excellent!

This tour gave us lots to do, and lots to think about once we got home. Northern Zealand is beautiful, even when seen through lots and lots of rain. We were prepared for the rain with rain gear. We were not prepared for the impact that heavy rain (and one day with hail) would have on the unpaved sections of the tour. Most of the unpaved sections included large gravel pieces, and navigating though these areas was particularly difficult in the rain. In addition, one of our e-bikes quit working and so this person got to ride his heavier e-bike without the battery function for two days. He was eventually given a new bike, and a refund to make up for the inconvenience. We also think it would have been helpful to have a way to attach our phones to the handlebars so it was easier to hear and see the GPS directions. When it was raining and the phones had to be in the plastic covered attachment on the front, you couldn't see them. And when it was hot, the phones overheated in the plastic. I would say that the biggest positive surprise of the tour were the evening meals. We had opted for full board, and the dining experiences in the evening were amazing. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful.

Denmark is a nice country to visit. Most individuals working in the hospitality industry speak English which makes it easy to travel around the country as a tourist. Also, the Danish people are polite and pleasant. The five-day bicycle tour was well-planned with good service at the beginning and the end of the tour. The route was not difficult and not too long. The GPS map on the app made navigation quite easy. The route passed many interesting towns and attractions. The hotels along the route were high-quality hotels. Very nice bicycle trip!
One suggestion to improve the trip would be to select hotels near the center of town instead of away from town. The hotels near Elsingor and Roskilde were 4 km from the center of those towns which made it difficult to eat dinner in those towns. Moreover there were no restaurants or bars near those hotels and, as such, the travelers are compelled to eat at the designated hotels.

Nothing brings you closer to the scenery, towns and villages than a cycling tour. We really enjoyed seeing the varied landscapes and communities of North Zealand close up. The cycling conditions there are excellent.

First thing this is not an easy bike ride. There are climbs every day and sometimes in the forest on dirt roads. I would recommend a pedal assist if you want to enjoy this trip. Denmark is wonderful and the people are great however a little pricey to eat and drink! The tour company was not the greatest. They did not have a print out for us which we were supposed to get a 20 Euro refund which we have not received and their GPS was not working the last day so we had to rely on Apple. Our luggage did not arrive one night until 7:30 so that was very inconvenient and some of the hotels were not in the city.

The route was gorgeous, filled with interesting landmarks, museums, castles and natural beauty.
It was easy cycling and the accommodations were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Coastal section were great. Interiors were a litte repetative farm lands. Hotel quality was great. However most hotels were a couple miles outside of the town center and on hills. After spending a day on the bike, we were not up for another ride to go to dinner or see the sites. Hotels closer to the center of the action in each town would be better. Logistics and bikes were good. Oveall great way to see Denmark.

I think that when delivering the itinerary to the group, Tripsite should do a survey of the stopping points and tourist attractions, as on certain days, the places mentioned are closed!

I loved the trip, it was very well organized, the route was very pleasant and the bikes were good.
One thing to note is that some of the restaurants listed were not open and part of the route was closed due to construction work.

So many nice bike paths! And the beautiful forest on the third day of biking

Gillelege harbor was a true delight. Beautiful setting and lovely shops.

Unfortunately, the most memorable part of the trip was the presesence of rain every day we rode. I understand that this was one of Denmark's wettest years on record.
I would like to suggest that the fitting of the bikes be more extensive other than matching the frame size to the persons height.
Because a GPS was not provided we had to purchase a phone mount so we could use their app to follow the route maps. Don't plan on using the printed directions otherwise you'll miss a lot of the landscape.
We did find it an issue that the route maps provided did not always have us arriving at our hotel at the end of the day. Instead they left us at a location that was often miles away from the hotel.
Overall, the hotels were very clean and comfortable. My only negative comment about the hotels was that some were located in sections of town that required us to uber to dining and sightseeing options. Breakfast was always plentiful and delicious.

We very much enjoyed our 7 day bicycle tour in Northern Zealand with a lovely day in Sweden. We had sunshine throughout, so that was special. The route was more varied than I expected and the villages, coast, forest and strand were great riding. Route directions were thorough and direct, and although we missed a few turns, Google map righted us easily. Acomodations were excellent and the breakfasts fueled us with delicious options. I definitely advise including the day in Sweden as although similar to Denmark, there were subtle and interesting differences. Working with Tripsite was easy from first discovering their trips online to our last night in Denmark. Thank you!

We rode through some beautiful parts of Denmark and Sweden and saw some very interesting places. We very much enjoyed spending time in Copenhagen, having chosen to have an extra couple of nights before the trip started. It’s a great city to start from.

The destination cities are interesting to visit: architecture, history and beautiful cemetery parks. The hotel accommodations were good but in several instances away from historical attractions and sites. Unseasonal weather handicapped the cycling. The baggage transfer service was efficient and timely. Roskilde and Helsingoer were memorable.

Hard to list one thing - many museums in Copenhagen and the canal boat ride; maritime museum in Helsingor, Viking ship village in Roskilde, riding along the sea, fine breakfasts, friendly and helpful Danish people. It was a bit hillier than I expected on a couple of days. Printed and phone app instructions were excellent.

Denmark is beautiful! Magical! Historical! It offers something for everyone—dedicated cycling trails along the North Sea, single track paths through lush forests, medieval forts and palaces, world-class museums along with cosmopolitan cities where you can feel perfectly safe riding a bike. This was our 8th self-guided excursion arranged through TripSite and it was well-organized and executed, as always.

Our e-bikes were reliable and durable, enabling us to cover many miles easily with loaded saddlebags. All the inns/hotels had dedicated parking for guests’ bikes. Breakfast buffets were outstanding with generous offerings to get us started for a day of cycling. BikeGPX was extremely useful in providing turn-by-turn guidance in real time. Our local bicycle/luggage transfer person was prompt, knowledgeable and courteous about scheduled meetings and bike drop-off/ delivery of our luggage every afternoon.

We would return again to Denmark in August in a heartbeat! The summer temperatures are cool and comfortable—especially important to us as we hear of visitors sweltering in southern Europe now. We encountered only occasional rain showers and overcast skies kept the temperature perfect for cycling.

The trip was wonderful. Riding along the coast line of Denmark was full of spectacular views. The one day in Sweden was beautiful. The bikes were very comfortable and rode well. The pick up and drop off of our luggage was great. The luggage was always at our hotels when we arrived. The hotels were great and the breakfasts were good. We really enjoyed this trip and the opportunity to see different parts of Denmark and Sweden.
