Denmark Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 77

Guides were great. rides were great. Food on boat was wonderful. Crew was wonderful and helpful as well. I appreciated the guides keeping the speed at a pace that regular bikes could keep up with e-bikes, even though e-bikes wanted to go faster. guide Elize was wonderful. She had a lot of knowledge about sites we visited. Simone on the other hand told us she had a scant knowledge ( which she did). I believe when guides lead a trip or walking tour they should be well versed on the area they are showing.

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 trip was very enjoyable. Our boat crew and guides did a great job taking great care of us. The reasons I only gave 4 stars are more to do with my expectations. I expected there to be a lot more sailing. Even though the trip info says the winds and captain determine our course, it was a bit disappointing to motor most of the time. During the one sailing day, the crew and captain were always available for questions and interactions. The cabins were quite "hygge" (cozy) as the Danes say. They were tiny! Again, this trip was on a sailing ship, not a luxury yacht.A lot of dishes on our dinner buffet were "recycled" from previous meals. In spit of these minor complaints, the guides and fellow passengers made this trip be really enjoyable. The cycling was very easy and on very good roads. Our guides made sure to make frequent stops and offered explanations and local information. We were also free to explore on our own. They provided us with optional city walks after dinner most evenings. I'd definitely do this again!

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.

I especially liked having a second day at a resort so that you could take a look around a place and explore islands. It still meant that you had plenty of time cycling while you looked around.
The journey from Faaborg to Svendborg by ferry was very good as you cycled the island of Aero from port to port. It was a pity you only got one night in Nyborg as it would have been great to cycle the Great Belt Bridge.
On the downside you were given a map to find your way. Through a city at the start? Your mobile phone was a much better option but you need a phone holder which is not supplied. In fact it was the third day before all the things that were supposed to be supplied were made available. The bike itself was a heavy German mountain bike so not up to date and not the most suitable for the flat terrain but it was in full working order.
All the hotels were good but Nyborg Strand and Best Western Hotel Faaborg were excellent.
The weather was really good with blue skies and little cloud. Nice breeze to keep you fresh while cycling and temperatures mid twenties. The heat wave that had been taking temperatures up to the forty mark in Germany and France arrived on the last day so a morning’s travel was best before the high heat arrived. Swiftly followed by thunderstorms.
A great holiday in beautiful Danish coastal countryside despite my issues with the cycle.
Like the rest of Scandinavia it’s not cheap!

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.

Our guys were awesome as well as the crew. They really made the trip enjoyable. Also I really like the E bikes on this trip.

The boat/bike trip was great, but we had great weather which makes a huge difference. The boat was fun, the boat crew were great. Captain Bob was excellent. The service crew was very good. The breakfasts got a little repetitive, but were good. Dinners were also very good…desserts were also basically the same every night, but good. The biking tours with Jordy and Pim were great and they would go above and beyond offering walking tours in the evenings. There were some confusing communications from tripsite that the boat would in fact only accept Euros for the bar bill, but Swedish and Danish money were accepted as well. This confusion cost us a bit in exchange fees that we could have avoided. And on tipping, we stuck with the 5-7% recommendation in Tripsite documentation, but the messaging from the boat staff was kinda higher and confusing. All in all, a wonderful trip.

We've done a few, this wasn't our favorite. The guides and the staff were lovely. Aside from the island of Ven we weren't too impressed with a lot of the scenic routes. I feel bad saying this but if they're really looking to make a better experience, the food could use some improving. The soups were wonderful, desserts too. My husband doesn't eat fish, he noted that, but no options available, breakfast after 8 days was unappealing. The rooms could use a little air fresheners too. It smelled quite moldy. The staff was lovely though. We will book again.

The most memorable part of the trip is a difficult decision because there were so many experiences from which to choose. I think, though, I’ll never forget seeing the ship for the first time when our uber driver drove his car almost right up to the gang plank! To know that I was going to be on a sailing ship and bicycling in Denmark and Sweden for 8 days and 7 nights was a WOW moment.

The past few bike and boat trips we did there was a city tour of wherever we stopped, we learned about the country we were in and the food was better. Eric’s bike pace was also super fast, felt like I was peddling my heart out to keep up after I stopped to take a picture.

Cool ship but the rooms are very small. What was missing on the trip were stops along the ride to tour various historic building or how something in Sweden or Denmark are made, Events like wine tasting. We rode from point A to point B and thought the scenery was great but I like to learn the history of the places with stops along the way to take tours.

This trip was a great experience! This was not a luxury tour, but it was a tour for those of us who like a little adventure and to feel like a part of the host country. The slower pace of the tour allows one to really experience the culture and lifestyle of Norway and Sweden. This is a trip for people who are ok with last minute changes to the itinerary, weather unpredictability and not always knowing what will happen next!

The Denmark and Sweden coastlines were fabulous. Because of heavy winds we did very little sailing - which was disappointing. The rooms were very small compared to other trips I have taken. The bathroom had a very musky smell. The tour guides were friendly and helpful. However when Eric led he frequently got 50+ meters ahead of the group and didn’t look back. Very odd.

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.

It was a wonderful experience from the first to the last day. The accommodation was excellent; luggage transport was on time and without any issues and the rental bicycle was great. Will definitely recommend this trip to anyone who likes cycling and exploring new cycle routes. Will be back for another cycling adventure.

Keep me posted on other/new cycling tours!

Thank you!

Although we enjoyed beautiful weather and wonderful crew , the ship was very uncomfortable - with small berths and horrible bedding . Out of 30 occupants 10 had norivirus and there was not enough cleaning supplies to disinfect and keep everyone healthy . This was our third trip with you and our least favorite .

I enjoyed the Island of Ven the most. Additionally I enjoyed the ride at Helsingborg and some of the seaside villages. The weather on this trip was rough. The 35 mph wind and rain had a "feel like" temperature of 35 degrees- 45 degrees. I had appropriate clothing for this journey but had I know the weather would be those conditions I would not have booked it. Along some other routes the scenery was not nearly as interesting as other places I have been in terms of countryside. This was my first bike and barge trip and I don't think I would book another. The crew were kind and did a great job. I enjoyed both guides and the hospitality staff. I cannot blame the weather on them or the variability of the scenery.

The boat itself and the sailing day is most memorable. The crew created a participating atmosphere. Chef Alex spoiled us with wonderful meals. Bike Guides Frans and Jens gave us, despite the pelting rain, fun interesting tours.

This was our 5th Bike/Boat tour, and the weather on this trip was the most challenging, ever. Even at the end of May, the winds from the coast make the 'feels like' temps as low as 34 in the morning. We also had rain almost every day, but if you take the right waterproof/windproof gear with thermals, its tolerable. The scenery on this trip is lovely, but in our opinion, not nearly as nice at the Netherlands or Danube tours. Lots of open field/farm land and less villages. Only had evening city walks in 2 places, which was disappointing. Fellow passengers were well-travelled and friendly seasoned cyclists. Will review the "Atlantis" boat separately

Biking was amazing, even in the wind, rain, and cloud. The trips were well planned, the tour leaders were helpful and experienced. Best part….all the fun people we met!

The most remarkable part of the trip was the beautiful countryside we saw on Funen, and getting a brief picture of the Danish 'personality'. I loved having an e-bike as it made the hills a breeze, although I found the bike very heavy when trying to maneuver it crossing streets etc in the cites.

The biggest downfall of the trip was the bike directions. It should be emphasized to be prepared to use digital routes and give them upon arriving. Unless able to provide them, people should be told to bring a mount for the phone on the handle bars, rain protection for the phone and earbuds. The detailed directions are not usable. We'd still be trying to get of Odense!?
The lodgings were personable and great except not crazy about Hotel Faaborg Strand. It was too far out to go on a rainy, windy night to town for dinner and they had only one selection on the dinner menu. They cater to conventions. A place in town would be much better. The ebikes were of very good quality. Giving people the rules of biking in Denmark would be useful. We had rain, cold and wind but still loved the beautiful scenery and especially loved the islands.

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.
