Sweden Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 63

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.

The tour was exactly as explained. It was absolutely beautiful. The company that worked with us when in Sweden was awesome! 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.

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!

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.

The Steamboat ride from Mariefred to Stockholm was quite entertaining. We made the mistake of renting Ebikes....not a good idea. Cycling was very scenic..........hotels in Trosa and Mariefred were excellent......guides at castles were highlights of the trip. Take at least an hour tour in Gripsholms. Cycle paths were gravely and a bit difficult for many of us with Ebikes.....except for the few folks who had very new light weight models. Bottom line, I want to rate trip 'excellent' but we made it less so by choosing ebikes even though Tripsite tried to steer us away from this decision!!

Nice countryside.
The regular Trek bike was good. Those who needed an e bike had a lot of challenges.

This tour was very well organized, and out of at least 6 self-guided bike trips that we've taken, the only one that didn't have mistakes/errors in the maps and/or GPX tracks. Every hotel was expecting us and we didn't have to sort out a booking made under someone else's name (also a first). The scenery was lovely, and the second day of biking was among the top two I've ever had. The last day of biking within Stockholm itself was the highlight of the trip for the other members of the party (I missed it due to a headache). We went several days early and enjoyed spending time in Stockholm itself - a beautiful, clean city, well set up for bikes. Many thanks to Carmen who did a wonderful job and covered every detail.
